On the subject of style
I thought since we were talking about personal style last week, I’d post my “idea wall.” I don’t know how it got that name, it started as a Cirque du Soliel calendar that had a kind of creepy picture one month, so I started clipping pictures of clothes and shoes I liked on top of it. Now I change the page each month, and it is always interesting to see what items make the cut from one month to the next. Some things get tossed at the end of the month, and I am glad I didn’t jump on that trend, and when something lasts for a few months, often I buy it (or something very similar.) Like those studded ballet flats from capezio (top right) have been up there for a long time….I hope soon they will be on my feet!
Emilily, and

Oh, thats very nice. You should laminate it when the year is over. It’ll be like a time capsule. Maybe I’ll start one!

that’s actually a cool idea. If I had saved the discards each month, and left them all on a time line, I could look back over the year and see how my tastes had evolved. While it might not be that thrilling from just a “this is what i wanted to wear last year” perspective, wouldn’t it have been cool if we had done one of these in college? Or if our moms had done one when they were in college? I think we should develop this project more!
