I was born with a hammer in my hand.


I'm not the kind of person who wears all black, well, ever. I went through a brief semi-goth phase when I was fifteen (basically, I dyed my long hair black on a regular basis and listened to a lot of KMFDM) and haven't returned to wearing a monotone black outfit since those days. But I decided to experiment with "the dark side" yesterday, and limited myself to wearing all-black. With the red lipstick, I have to say, it felt pretty darn glamorous. Later in the day, I had to attend a benefit concert with my parents, so I changed and cheated a bit by wearing brown platforms. I was expecting the concert to be lame, but there was actually this frenetic bluegrass band that I really enjoyed. I've never thought about it much before, but I guess I'm a fan of frenetic bluegrass?

P.S. -Does anyone else out there share my love for wickedly obvious spelling mistakes?


Also, I added the MOTHERLOAD of new stuff to Cleaning Out My Closet. Take a look!

I used to wear black a lot but much less now too. First few years of high school, almost everything I owned was black. Don't wear it nearly as much now, but sometimes it can be fun to go over to the darkside, as you say.

Daaaaaayum Izzo you look great!! About the 'libarary' thing, while I am a fan of blatant spelling errors I am an even bigger fan of the irony...just throwing that out there.

Mary said...

Li-ba-ra-ry..... I love it. I'm saying that from now on. Genius.

It's funny because if it weren't for accessories and coats I would wear SO much black.. do you feel a little simplified at all? I love the tee shirt dress, it looks fantastic!

Niki said...

libarary. . . i laughed. That dress is really pretty and I find that wearing all black is quite easy with some interesting shoes to break it up (like your cute platforms).

sarah said...

it curled my toenails as a grade schooler to hear other kids say 'li-berry' like being illiterate was cute. ugh.

you look so pretty in your lbd!
