You Want to Make A Memory?

http://You Want to Make A Memory

Outfits can be funny things.  Sometimes you have a look in mind, and you choose your clothing accordingly.  Other times, you put on an outfit and IT tells YOU what it wants.  For me, this outfit was very specific in its wants… once I slipped it on, it felt a bit more sophisticated, a bit classier, and definitely full of hair-tossing self-confidence, ready to challenge whatever and whomever, to go and get what I want when I want it.  And although I am a dedicated redhead, somehow for this look in this color I just had to be an ombre blonde, the outfit demanded it!  Once I had the full accessorized look, it made me think of a business trip, checking into the hotel, or looking for some action (my mind went to cougar and boytoy, which some will get, and others can take at face value lol), and then in playing with poses, it struck me that I needed to be on a pool table at a somewhat classy bar, ready to move on to the next part of the evening.  And there you have a glimpse of why doing a blog shoot/post can take me so long lol… but I HAVE learned to listen to the clothing… it generally steers me well!!!  Happy shopping!

Holiday shopping is done!!!!

http://Holiday shopping is done!

Well, not really, but a girl can dream, can’t she? I mean, there really is a great sense of accomplishment when you cross that last name off your list and you can say that all your holiday gift shopping is done, isn’t there? Especially if you feel you ace it all and got everyone the perfect gift? At this point, I’ll confess that I’m almost totally a 100%-online-shopper, no more dragging through stores, fighting those long lines and digging through piles trying to find the right size or the right color or the right toy, except that I do love crafts fairs and such for those handmade unusual items that are just so beautiful.  But this image so totally captures the essence of how it feels TO BE DONE, the exhaustion, the joy, the accomplishment…  If only I was truly done with my real life shopping lol, though I got a lot done this week, the boxes are all arriving, and I’m getting there! 😉
