Fitting Room: Should I, Shouldn't I?



What about these, they are right up my alley at $16.99 and they are some what "strappy" but I wasn't really going for gold. IDK.



So I really liked this dress, but I don't really wear long (maxi as "fashionistas" like to call them) dress, to be honest I don't wear many dresses, but I thought I could use it in a photo shoot I'm planning around the Taste of Chicago, and then keep it to wear on an upcoming cruise??? IDK but I think they only have one left in my (and the models) size. Should I get it? $19.99 cheap but I'm trying to cut back, getting a trademark is not cheap and I need two. Yes I'm working on the magazine, more about it to come. 1:36 a.m.

Who I Was Today...



There is the person I am and the woman I want to be. Two completely different places at the same time and conflicted as usual. More and more lately I wonder how much happier I would be if all I wanted was was a good job and benefits and actually had both things. Usually the thought process follows with I hate my job and I can't believe this is where I am in my life. Excuse me, I am at the moment, down. The only thing checked off on my to do list for today is the easiest thing of them all and really hasn't a thing to do starting this wonderful magazine that a bunch of people I don't know will read and like. Funny thing is earlier I was so high, a friend hooked me up with a paying gig, (playing photographer for a new website/blog), I had started looking up images and mapping out this new fashion story for Noir Woman (I am a contributing writer there, unpaid) I discovered the photos above, a friend solicited my expertise and wants me to be her stylist, and I had just realized that Jay-Z was on the cover of the current issue of Rolling Stone and somehow I let the time slip away without accomplishing much else or even finishing what I started. Only excuse, today I started my period, and I have PMDD and A.D.D., Oh well tomorrow is a new day. But for the remaining minutes of this day I question who my friends see me as. Which of the three images is how I see me, how you see me and how I'd like to be? I just know there won't be a consistent answer to this... 11:53p.m.

Summer Surprise and Cheap Thrills





Well Summer is trying to make a solid comeback in Chicago, but its not quite here yet. I went to (insert store name here) to see if they had some sandals I saw in its catalog that come in black, carmel, and that light grayish. Not only did they have all three colors but they had one left in each color in my size. Now I really just wanted a new basic black strappy sandal that could add a more current, put together look to my basic jeans and tee look. I thought the carmel color looked better on than the black then I got confused because I didn't know if I wanted to spent $40 on some sandals that were not doing for me what I thought they would, but I don't want to keep searching since summer is almost upon us. So by the time I got through thinking I saw the feathered belt above and then had to leave because I was only on my lunch break.
Days later I went back to get the belt that stayed on my mind despite the fact that I didn't want to spend the $40 on it, but I just kept envisioning it being worn with so many things and making cameos in my fashion editorials, so I went back to get it and looked in the bargain bin for more sandals and found the tennis shoes above for $10! The perfect summer shoe, but I still need sandals, I'm going to wait it out a while but I have to get some before the Fourth of July, I think, I have no idea what I'm doing that day and certainly no idea what I'm wearing!
But one of the dresses crumpled up on the bed in the background of the photo of the purple crop top is an idea. The purple crop top was $7 I never wear things like that but I liked it, it was cheap, and I plan on styling my little sister/model in it for a photo shoot.
