circular logic


Eons ago, I went balls to the wall with my penchant for limiting ensembles to a single print—stripes, fauna, space-dye and plaid all got their moment in the spotlight. It's only now, though, that I have enough polka dotted pieces to round out a full look, and yet I've been mildly resisting a full-on explosion of globes. I think it's because I viewed the act as one of being stuck in a rut, the repeated pairing of like with like. To be sure, it's not a bad groove to travel in—it's just that I prefer to challenge myself whenever possible.

Subconsciously, I must've wanted to hit repeat, because when Kelly from The Glamourai put out a call just such behavior, I took the bait. Clearly, it takes very little persuasion to send me trotting in circles for just a bit longer. I threw on a number of orb-ed printed garments and, for the first time this year, came out of hibernation to bust some moves.



Outfit: Club Monaco bow blouse, vintage Liz Claiborne dress from Mother's Daughter, vintage sheer pants, No.6 clogs, brooch on "loan" from Mom, H&M studded belt.

Ohhh, I love your dopey poses and fabulous get-ups! This outfit reminds me of a more stylish and simple Eddie from Absolutely Fabulous for some reason! She has this crazy polka dotted outfit somewhere in one of the first seasons...
