a mingle

I was feeling incredibly casual today, mostly since I knew that right after I dropped my son off at school I was coming home to take my Etsy shop pictures.  Before I went up to shoot though I read over all of your comments from yesterday again.  Wow.  This is such a grounded, deep, and interesting group of women.  I learned so much from you yesterday and answered some of my own questions from your answers.  I still have to choose the comment of the day, but if you get a chance or if you have any interest at all in social relationships and connections, give the comments section a second look.  As I make my way back to each of you to remark on your thoughtfulness and honesty, please know that I really heard you.  Twice actually.  Its days like yesterday that remind me that this is bigger than any one blog or person.  I have so many more things running through my head about this.  I actually received a call from one of my college professors this morning (he teaches, photography, new genres which is like performance based art and new media work, and runs the gallery of my college)  and I was telling him about the really cool and interesting thing that is happening in the blogsphere and how it is a mingle of performance art, new media, photography, journalism, communication, networking, trending, fashion, I mean the list goes on.  He was interested.  Apparently to me and to you and everyone else, this is important on many levels.  It is like a social experiment we are all conducting and measuring on our own.

My outfit today is composed of an American Apparel shirt that I just broke down and bought.  I had been searching for far too long for this shirt at the thrift shops and was worried I would never find the perfect one.  I fear the stripe bubble will burst soon (I hope not) so I just got one so I can enjoy it while it lasts.  Oh and my cut off shorts, knee high socks and beat up boots, and a military coat I got at the thrift store.  Also, In case I do not list my stuff in the text of my posts, you can find my items listed in the tag or label section of each post.  Someone asked about my clothes the other day, so just thought I would tell you that again.

All of the things below are being listed a few at a time this week and through the weekend.  My whole email notification thing didn't really work that well last time, and reserves are sort of difficult to maintain as well.  hmmm.  I mean, how would this work best for you? I want to give you fist dibs, but I am not sure where the happy medium is.  This is I guess where twitter would be helpful.

COMMENT OF THE DAY:  Thanks lady!  And Yes.  I get you.

1. You have such a natural way of styling things...always so perfect.
2. I read your post yesterday and I felt like I couldn't respond because my mind was churning so much. I'm still having a hard time articulating what I want to say... I can't believe how much blogging has taken over my life. I started blogging more than a year ago and in that short year even, the blogging 'industry' (cuase it is, isn't it?) has changed so much. I didn't know about Modcloth, etsy, followers etc. when I started, I just knew I wanted to share in fashion somehow. Sometimes I get distracted by all that other stuff (why her, not me?, do I want to monetize, am I popular?) and I really have to metaphorically rap myself across the knuckles to remember that my blogging has to be an extension of what I love; fashion and if that changes, then it's no longer fun.
