Orange Girl

Ah. I always have something that I want to blog about, but by the time I am actually typing, I forget everything I wanted to say! When it gets colder, I tend to want to stay in and windows explorer shop (get it?? window shopping!). I actually am now really in love with the Zara store.

I remember when I first moved to NYC, a friend of mine was like, 'have you been to this store called zara something? They have great clearance stuff!'

Its a store that I went into and was like, whoooa too expensive. But after looking at the website and their gorgeous designs I decided I needed to go in person to a store.

I mean, years later after living here, its sad but $40 for a top isn't considered expensive anymore.

I still consider it expensive, especially when zara has very classic, simple designs that you can find at h&m and thrift stores and whatnot. But when you touch the fabrics, you can see why it is expensive. It feels heavier, thicker.

What I like also is the design of the store, too. Its not a madhouse with racks crammed so full of clothing that its a fight to pull something out, and impossible to hang it back.

That drives me crazy.
I've been on the lookout for some nice peruvian or fair isle designs-legwarmers, arm warmers, or maybe a nice thinner sweater. I have been trying to include more texture, more inoffensive prints in my wardrobe!

And I've been making a list of these Inoffensive Prints: stripes, plaid, polka dots, particular florals. And now, fair isle (but not the kind with reindeer or snowflakes, bleh!).

Its tough. And I worry that Free People holds my soul hostage-its chalk full of fair isle and is owning me. That company makes everything look so good.

But if i were six feet tall im sure everything would look great on me too.

Maybe this mess of necklaces is not working.

Thanksgiving is coming up and i am nervous. So much cooking and planning and my mom is visiting-so stressful. We might see the Thanksgiving parade at Macy's. Gulp.

I am kinda in love with this color combo: grey, navy white stripes and orange.

I haven't put this necklace up on etsy. I'm kinda feeling disappointed with etsy lately. But its my fault for not using the chat room more to promote myself. Its tough-i dont want to charge too much for necklaces, but if i dont make a profit, i cant make more.

Im really nervous.

Im visiting the FIT campus tomorrow...going to school for fashion? It makes me super nervous. Its such a crazy plan.
