Inspiration for the cooler months, since I live in Florida, and I won't be able to pull this off until November or December.
I already have tights, boots, and scarf necessary but I don't have a dress and over shirt, or the socks. The dress and overshirt will have to be one of my sewing projects. I think it's also time to visit Sock Dreams, as they always have beautiful affordable socks that fit me well. :)
My First Mori Girl Make Up Look (and new bangs)!
BEFORE:
So, yesterday afternoon I was sitting in my room and studying (by which I mean procrastinating by looking at my mori kei pinboard). Finally I threw up my hands and said "Enough! I need bangs, and I need them now!" So I went to the bathroom and cut them in. Then I looked at my sink with the bottom halves of my locs sitting in it and I said to myself, "What did I just do!?"
They were sticking out all over the place, it was horrible!
But after a night in foam rollers,
my bangs were looking satisfyingly adorable, so I decided to try out some make up too and I am VERY happy with how that turned out. I'm going to have take some time next weekend to do a video.

What to Wear to an Indie Concert?
You might want to reconsider the ban on skinny jeans; being a size
14 doesn't mean you can't wear them. Depending on your figure, skinny jeans can
actually look great on plus sized women and can give us a slimmer look than
flared, boot-cut do. A good compromise if you're still not comfortable in the skinnies, are straight-legged jeans. Like any other style
of jeans, just make sure you get a good fit.
As for everything else? The goal is to balance looking good and
being comfortable. As good as you may look in 4-inch heels, that's not exactly
the best way have fun at concert, especially when there might be time spent in
lines, dancing in front of the stage, or even outdoors. I recommend flats (with
good support), low platforms, and for the occasions that just demand, it a
low heel, will at least ensure that your tears are from the
music and not the pain in your feet.

Spring to Summer 2013 Inspiration: Mori/Natural Kei
EDIT: All my images broke! So I had to find new ones and rewrite this post. :(
A lot of the mori/dark mori coords I enjoy are made for winter. In fact, fall and winter are my favorite times of year for fashion because of all the layering and details (even though I enjoy summer weather more). So I've had to take up the quest to find more weather appropriate options. I hope you enjoy this new and improved post! :)

The End of the End of the Beginning
So this year I will be incorporating more writing into this blog The Book of Style and keeping *most* of my Polyvore sets on my tumblr, The Appendix to The Book of Style as the photos are supposed to be supporting content for my actual thought on fashion.What this hopefully means is more content and more personal/meaningful writing on my part. So yay! Onto the good stuff...
