WHEW! A lot, huh? But I couldn't help myself. And making these inspiration boards ARE addicting...thank you, Gayle. hehe. Basically, I'm in love with stripes, loose-fit clothing, lace, black, blue, teal, purple, silver jewelry, anything with ruffled, ruched, or draped detail...and i love bows!!! I play with proportion a lot...if I'm wearing skinny jeans or leggings (which i usually am 99%) of the time, the top is usually looser-fitting...if I go with skinny jeans, tight top, I at least have to layer so I don't feel too restricted...with like a loose cardigan, sweater, etc. I rarely go big on the bottom but if i'm wearing a skirt (like I've been feeling lately...I've bought a lot of high-waisted short skirts), I'll definitely have a form fitting top. Or if it's loose I'll put a belt around it or something. I have a serious obsession with anything lace. No joke. I own about five different black flowy cardigans in different styles, and I just have probably fifteen different cropped cardigans. I'm short (standing at 5'2"), so anything too long competes with my height and makes me look dwarfy. Cropped styles are definitely the way to go if you're petite! But I'm curvy, so I stay away from anything insanely printed. or white. or skintight. hey...curves are gorgeous! Whoever said stick-thin was what's up is insane. Not to hate on skinny girls...we are all beautiful in our own way! But there are some narrow-minded people out there who truly believe if you're not 5'8" and 95 lbs, you're obese. Not true.

I do love my accessories...I love scarves! And silver jewelry. I used to really not like gold, but I've come to appreciate gold jewelry too. Silver/white gold is still my number one, though. I love long necklaces with dangling charms & whatnot...love, love, love me some dangly chandlier earrings...usually filigree or fleur de lis inspired. Bracelets, ehhh, not so much. I feel like there's something stuck on my arm that I need to shake off, and I realize, oh...it's a bracelet. Never been one for watches, either.

Anyways, that's enough on clothes for ya. Goodnight!

oh, and p.s. can I just say...I seriously wish my wallet was big enough to afford all of the things on my inspiration board! my birthday is coming up...hint hint wink wink ;)
