March 23rd, 2012: Doris' Look

Pink long sleeve shirt, black and white scarf, Sear's skirt, and black heels

Every other day, I try to dress up Doris (my dress form) to what I'd like to wear
that week.  And sometimes, Doris looks better in the outfits than I could ever look in them.  
I had the perfect outfit on Doris.  It was a blue and tan cardigan with a blue tank-top and tan shorts.
Problem?
Doris doesn't wear shoes, so I never thought that when I put on the outfit that I would have no shoes
to match it.
I was furious.  I was so stupid to forget a factor like that, so rushing around, I quickly remembered an outfit that I had put on Doris a few days before, so I ran to closet and dressed myself before 7:10 hit.
I was lucky to remember that, and I will say, ever since Doris came along, my outfit planning has been smoothed out to a clean road now.

Whew!  THANK YOU, DORIS.

February 16th, 2012: Surprises, Surprises!

Dad's plaid shirt, H&M black belt, gray leggings, black over-the-knee socks, Charlotte 
Russe combat boots, Haitian bracelet

Surprises, surprises!  Number one, I got home and I discovered my birthday present had arrived finally in the mail!!!! 


Yay!!!  My dress form!
So, I've been having a little bit of fun with my new best friend, Doris, and yeah.  I discovered my Dad's shirts are a good source of long t-shirts, and I got to sleep in and drive to school.  Fab.
