I’m the other half! Cara and I have known each other since we were babies running around in pigtails watching Lion King. Since the little girl days, we have traded our diapers and Barbies for a slew of clothes, shoes, and a kick ass wardrobe to play dress up! (Okay...so we still play dress up!) We already parade around town taking pictures of ourselves, so we might as well blog about it. Fashion is something that I have always loved and my style is constantly going through drastic turnovers and evolutions.
Soooo it is summertime and in case you haven’t been outside for the past few months, you don’t watch the news, or have been hibernating in Alaska it is a scorcher outside! I mean dragon-inferno-flaming-firey-pits-of-hell hot. All I can think about is going swimming and sitting inside in front of the fan drinking ice cold lemonade! Luckily, I spent my first half of summer in England and have been influenced by my travels though London, Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the Highlands. Traveling made me realize how hard it is to live out of a suitcase and now that I’m back it’s time to kick summerwear into full gear!
My new loves at the moment are pastel jumpers, braided headbands, high-waisted floral shorts, folded down boots, and my fuchsia Speedo swimsuit!
Overall, I would describe my fashion sense as an emporium where whimisical meets practicality, a menagerie of colorful confection. Someone once described my style as a mix between an old lady’s antique wardrobe and a child’s dress up box. I’m a bit crazy, but I like to take risks and keep it classy, usually.
This is me just monkeying around!
