Friday Fancies: Express Yourself

7 Comments »


What a great prompt for my brand-new blog.
So, folks at home (or convent hot-spot), this is me.

I kinda-sorta-almost don't match, but it works.
I'm a little bit too much, but it works.
I'm drawn to fall tones all year, but it works.
I don't go anywhere without coffee, or I don't work.

I love corduroy* and cable knit, leather and tartan, high boots and long sweaters.
If I could have wedged a tweed blazer and a cheetah print scarf in there, believe me I would have.

If I were to wear this oh-me-oh-my, oh-so-perfect outfit I would pair it with a matte neutral eye (but with a strong crease) some subtle blush, and a raspberry lip. 

Maybe once I lose all the weight I'm trying to run off I'll treat myself to this outfit.
Well, a version of it. The boots alone are more than my monthly budget.

I can't wait to see what defines everyone else!


*If I ever release an album of acoustic covers of my favorite songs, I'm going to call it The Corduroy Noise

I'm buying myself the Hunters, and I'll probably treat myself to the cookbook as well...
But I'm hoping to get a few of the other things here for Christmas as well.
Or an iPad. I would totally take an iPad.


Hello!

I'm Hilary, and this is my blog.

I'm a twenty-something living at home, working in a coffee shop.
If that's not thoroughly modern, I don't know what is.
