Style Dispatch 027: Dilly-dally

Every so often, usually following a week of too much work and caffeine, in my case, it happens: a day of absent-minded, stargazing laziness. Not a big deal when there isn’t much on the agenda, but when you’re up to your ears in To-dos, this state makes for one tough adversary. You need speed, decisiveness, resolve – and a near-effortless look that doesn’t impede any of the above. Derrrp. Air-dryed hair, minimal make-up and light layers will keep things simple …

Style Dispatch 025 – Color Supernova

This is an especially uncharacteristic Style Dispatch, inspired by the blue rainbow hair I had back in October – which is the chief reason I bought this incredible dress. I just couldn’t resist the Rorschach snakeskin pattern, the kaleidoscopic color combination, and the sheer back panel. And if one is going to wear color, one might as well wear color!

Style Dispatch 018 – Winter Skirts and Pointy Shoes

With my closet purged and organized, I’m reaping the benefits and letting go of my boots+leggings+oversize top+leather jacket uniform. Rediscovering my wardrobe is quite refreshing! I’ve found a respectable arsenal of skirts which I’ve been diligently putting into rotation. Lately, I’m especially feelin’ maxi-skirts. I’m 5’4, and have often read that short people should avoid wearing long skirts as they shrink the silhouette, add bulk, bluh bluh bluhh. This might matter if you really care about “appearing” taller, but if …

Style Dispatch 014 – Shoot Day

This is an outfit I wore last week to a shoot. When I take pictures of girls, it generally involves a lot of time spent crawling around on the floor and getting into all sorts of bizarre positions to get just the angle I want. This means very casual, verging on hobo, dress code. I don’t usually document these outfits, but it’s only fair that I do, every once in  while. Besides, I love hobo days. COMPONENTS 3/4 sleeve thermal …
