If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait......William James (1842-1910)

Lately I've been a little bored with what is hanging in my closet, since I've started blogging I've become more aware of I want my "fashion statement" to be. The way I shop is changing and so is my style. It's apparent even in the short time I have been blogging.(Check out some of my first outfits posted) When I look back at this and this it makes me smile. It shows me that this blog is not just a social network and vain fashion (although I like that part too!), it's helping me to be more of the ME I want to be and who I want to portray to the world. That was the ultimate goal in the beginning so Thank You blogosphere, and all of you stylish lovlies out there who have complemented, encouraged, and criticized. Keep it up.... it is much appreciated.

As For my outfit today it is an adored austin inspired outfit. She sports this look perfectly, more than once! I've been meaning to try it since the first time I saw her wear it and then she posted another version last week so I pulled out what I had in my closet and I think it rather works! If you haven't checked her out you MUST click here now! She is seriously to funny, sweet,talented,stylish,cute, beautiful, (I better stop before she thinks I'm a weirdo:O) and creative to pass up!
