A fashion-less post

Recently I sent Rebee an e-mail with some blog topic ideas because I have too many bouncing around my head. (Tired of hearing about Rebee yet? Huh are ya? Well too bad! You should see her latest post; I’m planning on writing a reaction to it in the next few days. So you’ll still have to hear MORE about her. Yeah, I got too many ideas floating around my head. Also! She’s going to bully me into NaNoWriMo! SOMEONE HELP!)

At the end of the e-mail I got an idea, based on her idea to take some self-portraits at a photo shoot for her blog. This idea wasn’t for her though: it was for me.

I have zero fashion sense. I was reminded of this over at Dulle Griet, where the author bemoaned her lack of fashion sense—how she was never taught “accessorization and applying makeup”. Yeah. I never got any fashion lessons at all.

My idea was then, to get over my fear of putting my picture on the Internet and set up a new blog, one in which I post pictures of my clothes and ask for help with coordinating Outfits.

Yeah, I don’t see it happening either.

I think I’ll just go on pretending I’m a supermodel without showing my face. Or what I wear. Because I haven’t been shopping in a year and I don’t need people to be judging me for that. I think I’m judged all the time without it actually being SAID. I’ll just enjoy my new knitted additions to my wardrobe, because they are warm and colorful. Hurray!

Good Luck Cowl (Ravelry)
Unblocked: between 9″ and 9.5″ wide, 8″ tall – huh. exactly right. Blocked: 10″ across and 9″ high. Also, I only did 9 repeats for the exact same measurements as the original. Oh gauge.
Pattern: Good Luck Cowl
Yarn: Koigu KPPM
Needles: 36″ US4 magic-looped, since I don’t have any 5s at school
Modifications: As stated, 9 repeats of the pattern.

Hey Rebee. Better watch your back. I got a friend who likes to make enemies of people who take up too much of my attention. ;) ‘Course, he doesn’t read my blog. You’re getting off easy.

    #1 I love the cowl!
    #2 I feel sorry for people – especially young people who don’t have a million ideas bouncing around in their heads! Isn’t that what brains are for? As a “too many ideas to handle” type from way back my advice is just keep a list. (I actually keep several!)
    #3 See number #1

    I think your fashion sense is just fine! And I love the yarn you chose for the cowl – pretty!
