2.22.10 // WELL, LA-DI-DA, LA-DI-DA, LA LA.

Sunday was filled with parents and thrift stores and Annie Hall. I've been infatuated with 1970's fashion for a while now, but haven't put many looks together that reflect the decade. I decided to change all that yesterday. To get inspired, I put on Annie Hall and got to work. I even attempted to feather my hair and watched a Youtube video on the subject. The book I'm holding is this book that I bought at Goodwill a few months ago called Don't Let Anyone Steal Your Dream. It's chock-full of cheesy photos and it was published in 1978, so it seemed appropriate.

TURTLE NECK // thrifted

VEST // thrifted

SKIRT // thrifted

BOOTS // payless

SUNGLASSES // forever 21

NECKLACE // my mom's

Annie Hall is such a good film. Diane Keaton and Woody Allen are brilliant together.

I'm also trying to create a piece of artwork every day to help build up my portfolio so I can hopefully get a full-time job.. I've been doing odd jobs off of Craigslist for almost a year now and, while it's been interesting (to say the least), the income is sort of patchy. Here's the piece that I created today. That's my cat, Coly! I have two cats at my parents house where I'm living now and have been called a cat person on multiple occasions. I like to think that I would be very accepting of a dog, but I haven't had the opportunity to be a dog owner yet. I'm just hoping that I don't wind up a crazy cat lady like the one Indiana of Adored Austin is writing a screenplay about!
