Look - Blue Bees

Here is my ode to a fashionable bee keeper. I used shaping, color blocking, grandiose pieces to create this look. To me, you always stand out when you play with these elements!

I took a knee length American Apparel skirt and used a petticoat to add unrealistic, drastic hips. I bunched up the two corners of the petticoat and pinned them to the sides.

The bee pins and black ring are vintage bakelite found by my mother in the 1980s at an antique store. 

Look - Chlorophyta Circles

Yikes, I can't sleep, so I'll do the next best thing and blog!

I named this look Chlorophyta Circles because Chlorophyta is the latin term for green algae, which often blooms in our pond. The polka dot shirt is actually a retro dress that I tucked in so I could pair it with my skirt. ;)

These pictures make it appear that Chicago is all warm and summery, but it's actually quite chilly (STILL, ew!!) even though it's green all around.

Look - Reach for the Gold

This outfit symbolizes a few things. It symbolizes my push to be more accepting of my body and my ongoing workout efforts. I am reaching for the gold this summer. I want to get in better shape and to embrace my imperfections.
