knotted

thrifted shirt, topshop clearance skirt, jeffery campbell shoes, amrita singh necklace, modcloth clutch

I dressed like a crazy person today just because I am so bored with my wardrobe right now that I've been experimenting with ways to wear knotted shirts. The cropped top combo was probably not the best idea to wear to a fried chicken place in Lampasas, Texas (small small Texan town) but I realized this fact a bit too late. PS. Meet Ace, Tim's hyperactive blue lacey.
WHY ISN'T FALL HERE YET? I've got the most amazing fall/winter pieces lined up and the weather just won't cooperate until about somewhere around Thanksgivin...then it'll go from 70 degrees to 40/50 degrees in one day. 
Some people have asked me about what's my inspiration behind an outfit and how do I take inspiration from the runway. I pretty much just grab whatever looks good on my figure (which is totally different than what looks good on the typical model figure) and is also undeniably pretty (imo anyway). I then just grab an item of clothing that I really want to wear that day in some shape or form and build it up from there. As for trends/inspirations I have bunches of inspirational photos saved on the computer from other bloggers' outfit posts and streetstyle photos but I don't really watch the runway much. Certain trends like leopard just don't appeal to me...and then I find it weird to have "Native American" or "jeans on jeans" or "western" or "camo" or "rocker" come into trend. Camo, jeans on jeans and cowboy boots are worn so much in these Texan towns that to me it just seems weird to wear it all of a sudden because it's cool now. Tim has camo stuff he wears for hunting all the time...and a gazillion skull jewelry and rock tshirts and band jackets from being a metal head all of his life. Therefore I connect these items in the store more with Texas or rockers rather than what's on the runway. On the other hand, I do like it when stuff like lace or faux fur or leather or wool capes come into style because I've always loved those things and now it's easier for me to find the perfect pieces to wear for seasons to come. I hope my ramble kinda made sense? In any case, I will always love things from the 50's in terms of silhouettes and wool items, things that reminds me of flappers like beading and sequins, things that accentuates my favorite part of my body (my waist), and things with a lot of texture and volume (faux/vintage fur, leather, embroidery, brocade, tweed, drape/pleats/ruffles). For night time I go to concerts a lot so I also love rocker jewelry, shoes and pieces with leather/chain/stud detailing.
I'm sure the above ramble typed up in a stream-of-consciousness manner at 2AM in the morning won't make sense to me tomorrow. Kudos if you actually read it.
