day 5 of 2010

I cant believe its day 5 of the year and I haven't even fulfilled the challenge I set for myself which is taking a photo of each of my outfits each day..terrible..I wonder if anyone has every completed their new year resolutions..maybe someone has and I would like to meet them..I can't find my stupid cable to transfer my photos..

anywho today I went to a friends house and we played band hero..yesterday when they got it I was really good on the drums..I come back today and I'm not so good..I didn't even blink on on one of the songs just to hit all the right notes..oh well practice makes perfect..which is something i hope this fashion course I will undergo this year will do. I haven't made anything in a while because I have lack of funds to purchase new material..next thing I'm planning to create is another blazer..maybe a purple one with yellow and black stripe piping..

similar to the above..

I need more places to go so  I can wear more things. I will describe what I am wearing today which is a pair of right-fitting skinny jeans that I purchased from Canada and a T-shirt that says 'enjoy Canada Vancouver' which is in the style of a the coca cola label (grr to not having the cable for my camera!). 

I didn't end up wearing my "I heart NY" shirt the other day because it was a hot day and wearing a grey shirt whilst the temperature was enough to set off the sweat glands is something you can give a miss to avoid any embarressment.

You know that rule that I think was preached by Nicole Richie.."if you find a good pair of good fitting jeans then buy 10 of them.." well i didn't buy 10 but i bought 5 because it was so cheap there..i figured if I ever needed to refresh my jeans collection and I win a million dollars I will fly back to buy most of my clothes there. My purpose in going to Canada a month ago was to see the variety of clothing there in comparison to here in Australia as well as see the country like a tourist blah blah..and it was great because I found H&M which had really great clothes.. its mass produced but hey! they don't have it here..and I think that is my what's the word?..trait? rule I live by? (as I said not good with the words) but buying something that I know noone will wear or have is my thing when I go shopping. So my cousin and I probably did 3 maybe 4 days straight of shopping and we found random stores like one called XXI forever which was the best store I think I have ever set foot in, in my life..it had all these really modern designs to suit all personalities and the jewellery was cheaper than it is here in Aus. Another day of shopping and we found a store downtown that was underground that was all thing vintage. Vintage seems to be the it thing through all the seasons or for someone who dares to be different..well that's what I think ..and it works..sometimes. But ye this vintage store was awesome..yes most of it I don't think I'm game enough to wear but I did rush straight to the bargain bin and found to really good shirts that I will post up soon (I promise..)

Actually I went shopping recently for the post christmas sales and got some really good bargains I wish to share. Because my lack of funds i don't get to purchase designer labels and stuff like that..I swear when I become a designer I want to design a line that is priced reasonably for anyone to buy..something like Marc Jacob's line "Marc by Marc Jacob's" which i assume is thousands of dollars cheaper. So during this shopping adventure I purchased a mini skirt that had two-tone skirt that was purple and white that I wore day 3 of 2010 and that was a bargain at $5.45..and these rusty type boots that slouch a little that said on the price label $20 but when she scanned it ..went down to $7.50..gotta love bargains!

They look similar to these..but minus the studs on the buckles and are black..but they have the same effect. These are what I have been wearing almost everyday because of the overcast / rainy weather. 

I love it when you purchase something really cheap and wear it over and over again. I remember my first pair of skinny jeans. They were from Jay jays and they were black with studs on the ankle..they were $5 because they were faulty which was just the zipper..this was the time I had novice sewing skills so I improvised as they were a good fit and i used a safety pin to close it up and I have been so lazy to even put a proper zipper in its place. They have begun to fray actually, which is a sign I should probably get a new pair of black pants. That shall be my next investment.
