My outfit from December 2nd
I wore a medium-dark dress from the store "Varga" tucked into a white embrodiered skirt found in a thrift store in France for $4. I wore black tights underneath [my other tights were in the wash so sorry bout the black on black], black Old Navy flats, a knit white, grey, red old navy button-up cardi, and a necklace I made from string & a baby rattle type cow charm from my babyhood.

Garageband.com
www.garageband.com is amazing! You can find new, independent, underground bands of any genre. It even has a section of many, many bands with free mp3s you can download.
Some bands found on garageband that I adore-
Faded Paper Figures
an indie-techno band from Irvine.
With a mix of indie rock and techno, this band is very unique. The lyrics are incredibly original, poetic, and the songs are catchy!

Daydreaming of fields of lavender and polaroids
I find inspiration in so many things.
Fashion spreads, photography, poetry, music, and the world around me.
Here are outfits created inspired by lovely songs and photographs.

Lyrics to Polaroid Solution
Polaroid Solution
I put on a disguise
And put out both your eyes
…you will not see me
…you will not see me.
So put on infrared;
Turn the light off in your head
…you will not see me
…you will not see me.
It's my polaroid solution
'till we sort out this confusion;
in a station at the metro,
holding out for revolution.
Train your lens down on my face;
Come kinetoscope my place.
…you will not see me.
…you will not see me.
When the train has disappeared,
Every trace of me has cleared,
…you will not see me.
…you will not see me.
Shadows, shot and framed in time, developing.
From Sartre to Lacan
You can keep your flashlight on,
But you will not see,
Or hear a thing from me.
So turn on your TV,
Pixeled faces on a screen.
…you will not see me.
…you will not see me.strong>
A feminine skirt and top for the softness of the lyrics of the song. A feather hairclip to add mystery. The tights are bright like the music of the song. The necklace shows a heart intertwined with strips of metal- poetic yet making a statement. The shoes are delicate yet fierce. And of course, a polaroid camera for added effect :).
