Inspired

I have been inspired to blog about and take pictures of fashion because of a few new blogs I discovered not that long ago. Lulu Letty was one of the first fashion blogs I stumbled upon after Modcloth posted her as "Blogger of the Moment". Then from there, I found Calivintage, Tick Tock Vintage, The Crimson Owl Kansas Couture, and Goodwill Huntingg, who mimics runway designs by combining thrifted & vintage pieces. There are so many more on my blogroll. I love catching up on everyone's vintage finds and how they are wearing them. I am so glad I stumbled upon these blogging wonders and discovered that this process could and would bring me great joy. I am a bargain shopper and I will make an adventure out of finding what I want. I once had a friend who would joke about how I would go all over town just to find that exact pair of shoes/shirt/pants/whatever I was picturing in my head at the moment. At times I wish I could make my own shoes because most of the time I can't find what I'm thinking of.  I will....learn how to sew...eventually. As for shoes...I will just have to rely on the professionals, I guess.

I will be thirty-(something!) in just a few more weeks and I finally feel like I am growing into myself. I am figuring myself out. I know what I like, what I don't like, what I want in a mate and what my hobbies are. I know I have only conquered a small part of knowing myself - I have a lot more to learn. And I've got a long way to go. But finding things I love like blogging and fashion just lead me closer to myself. I feel the best I ever have about who I am and where I am.

 These are the only ALDO shoes I own. My feet are very wide and I can't seem to fit very well into European sized shoes. :(
