new year, new look?

Part of the excitement of another year is to experiment with yet another look. I've never been in the habit of dressing up for anyone but myself, but these days, I needed to pare it down. I remember one compliment (?) I got from a senior consultant who once said he always looked forward to what I would wear, since not one day is ever the same. Chalk it up to mood-dressing. Hey, that's why fashion is fun. :)
Since starting my new job, I've been commuting and walking a lot, so I'd had to learn how to dress more comfortably, with clothes I can move fast in. Meaning, no self-conscious tugging at hemlines or necklines. But, I cannot afford not to look good before I go out for the day because it's part of the job, and besides, looking iffy and lousy spells a bad day for me. Fine, maybe it's vanity, but it's my only sin. Not. Haha.
Anyhoo, scouring the Internet for new look inspirations has been fun. Check out little Suri Cruise, my new and youngest fashion icon. Isn't she just adorable? Ballet flats made for walking, check. Effortlessly chic in black, check-and yet she looked so comfortable and ready to run around. Notice the little painted fingernails too. Too cute! (Today's tots are definitely more kikay. Shoti's niece, Yanni, has little sparkling toenails, which she says she covers with shoes, because "teacher doesn't allow it." She's 4 years old.)

Then, I've been thinking about chopping off my hair short because, well, I'm bored. And as soon as I've decided, I've had great hair days for the past couple of weeks! Now, maybe I'll stick to the long wavy/curly hair. I've waited ages for it to grow this length, maybe now's not the time to cut it. This was, literally, a wash-and-wear look on a Saturday night and it was humid out. Miracles, no hair frizzies!

I'm gonna overhaul my closet and try to revamp a whole lot of stuff. Project! Ahlavet.
