Usually, when I choose an outfit or think of an item that I want to wear, I form a few different outfits in my mind and then after trying them on, or looking at them together, I decide which one that I will like the most. With the Modcloth challenge yesterday, I picked a number of different items to go with the dress and then finally combined them to make two different outfits that I really liked: the dressy outfit from yesterday and then the much more casual version that you see here. You see, I have these two opposing style camps that beg for the majority of space in my mind and wardrobe. The first camp is quite a bit like the first outfit. Classic, elegant, slightly movie-star like, and a little glamorous at times. Think pencil skirts, heels and pearls. The other part of me loves bohemian clothing, big jewelry, slightly fuzzy hair, flowy shirts and colors that don't exactly match. Maybe wrestling between the two gives me my 'style' but at the same time, sometimes I really feel like I need to choose a camp. For this challenge, I did one of each style, and am now wondering which one I like better... Still completely undecided, for the record.

Modcloth's Polyvore Outfit Challenge
Thursday, January 16, 2014
I took two photography classes in high school and learned 3 things: The darkroom was an incredibly peaceful and dark oasis in the midst of loads of high school drama, shooting photos using my dad's really old SLR was nifty and hard, and learning photoshop was very valuable and still is. I did a lot of photo manipulation in those classes and learned to love it! I had forgotten how much I like it until I started making photo collages here a year or so ago. Even if they are not that exciting looking, you can bet I had a great time putting them together, so when Modcloth contacted me about participating in their weekly Polyvore Outfit Challenge, I jumped at the chance! I love putting outfits together, and Modcloth had lots of fun items to choose from! They picked the dress, and I got to outfit it!
My contribution is an outfit harkening back to 1950's romantic clothing. A feminine dress and sweater combo with gorgeous accessories! The accessories just spoke to me and I had to include them, because they looked like they had stepped out of a Hitchcock film. I am pretty sure Grace Kelly owned all of these.
