Yes, I am writing this post about clothes...I love getting dressed!

I was never good at drawing, or painting, but I do have a creative part of me that is quite alive. Finding ways to express that has been a bit challenging...but one way that I have been able to be very creative and show my personality has been in the way I dress. It's hard to pinpoint my style...not totally trendy, like I walked out of an Urban Outfitters catalog, but not totally random either. Now that I'm living in an amazing city, I've found my lack of money to be less than an obstacle. As Lagerfeld once said, kids without money are the best, because they have to be creative if they care about style. So basically, 

Energy+creativity+little money+being in a city with many thrift stores=me.

I was at Oona's thrift store on Mass Ave near Harvard Square on Saturday and I bought this awesome blue mermaid gown for $25...it was originally $2600, just by the way. Anyways, it's so much more fun to have a wardrobe built of "found" pieces and clothing with a story. It helps that I can't take myself very seriously, and I am really developing a sense of humor about the way I dress. My shopping rules: if it's cheap and funny or makes me feel like a ballerina, or BOTH which has happened from time to time, then I will buy it :)
