I need to change this pattern. I need to flag my thoughts, so that as a performance or party is coming up, I will remember that I am terrible about preparing my outfit, and start as soon as I can. I will have more determination to set out time and intention.

I’m quite fortunate that I live with @nopantdance. She saves me time and time and time again. We make a great team, I help her with transitioning to a different eating lifestyle, and she helps me transition to a more prepared fashion lifestyle!

hooray!

p.s. I’ll post a picture once the full look is on and looking smokin HOT! I’m really looking forward to this party in SF! It marks a new adventure in our relationship!

have a great weekend you guys, if you are in reno, go out and check out 210 North Saturday night. Not our usual kind of playground, you know how us “freaks” go, but I love that our group can mold and play in all types of playgrounds! Makes it a better way to share so many different experiences with so many of your friends at once. The Black Rock City Allstars and bohoburlesque are warming up the night for Freq Nasty! Go get your dancing on!! It is going to be great energy, in a beautiful venue, and there is sure to be a lot of hugs and smiles!

Years back when I was a frequent shopper, I always over bought, and over consumed. So much that I still have things in my closet with the price tag on them! Unfortunately most of the things I am no longer interested in, and have been shipping to the good will. Most of the things I do not need, and many just take up space in my side of our not so closet……. closet.

The last few years have really taught me so much about myself, my priorities, and where to focus my attention. Some things I have learned:

1. When living on a limited budget: It’s way more important to me to spend the money on quality food that I eat everyday. I got off track for a bit and started consuming more processed and junk food. YUCK! I have been paying the price and now thankfully slowly and steadily weaning myself back off. By focusing on living everyday, and making sure that I consume enough veggies and fruits, I am getting back on track! Watch out summer, I am working on it! It feels so good to make my money count. Sometimes it’s okay to make do with what you have, even if you have to stretch it out over a few years. The time will come again when things are more providing. I believe!

2. Clothes do not make who I am. Regardless of what I am wearing, or what I am not wearing, I am always me. It’s most important to focus on myself, my health, my skin, and my self love, the accessories I place on my body are just that. Taking the time to really get to know myself, and how I feel, were really important in developing my ideas for future ideas of fashion. ( someday I will create a very limited clothing line, even if it’s just for me to wear)

3. It is important for me to have a plan. This plan ensures limited consumerism. Filling empty or lonely voids with shopping and distractions does not fill the void. In my case, it only took me further and further from myself. Now that I have a plan, I feel so connected to every single item I bring into my life. Everything new item will have a place, and I will know just how to work it into a few different outfits, and love and enjoy every single bit of it!

4. The more clothes I have, the more upkeep and work it takes to maintain them. argh! I am a very simple and easy going girl. More effort and time spent on laundry and folding is way beyond me! ha ha I can easily spend an entire day building this wordpress blog, but laundry! HELL NO!

So now, I have a plan:

1. I want to be mobile. I want to travel. In order to do this, I need less not more. I need items that travel easy, work with a few different things in my collection, and are easy to wash. (no dry cleaning please!!!! the chemicals that dry cleaning creates and the fact that they are on my skin, is not what I consider happy clothes, and happy skin!) If I need a quick wash, and can possibly line dry, then I am in!

R.E.I

I keep telling myself how would this item travel in a backpack?

2. I want to feel and look sexy! I love items that when I wear them make me feel incredibly sexy and desireable. Color and vibrance! Things that flow and work well with my body. I’m a curvy girl, and plan on always remaining so. I love open collar and neck lines. I feel suffocated when there is too much fabric around my neck.

I love this yellow dress from victorias secret

I love dresses and skirts that require no bras or panties. I love to be free. I love looser fitting items that don’t restrict circulation. I like jeans sometimes, but really they are not as important. Most of the time sitting in them causes creases in my skin, and those creases block my skin from free flow and circulation. I am a nut ball about treating my body the best I can.

** Bras? I have the most expensive bra ever! I chose to get a boob job around 6 or 7 years ago. I think everything in life is moderation. No matter what you want, you should go for it. My breasts get lots of boobie massages from myself and shone, and I skin brush them well to help keep them soft and happy. I don’t wear a bra, I don’t like blocking circulation around them. Ask me about things like this if you are interested. I will share more with you on another post. **

3. I need to feel grounded. Clothes that allow my skin to breathe and take in the magical sun rays. Items that I can step right into nature, or right into a big city! I’ll always be the little country girl. No matter where you take me!

4. I love costumes! Costumes that can be shared with the boho crew! Items and accessories that we can all share while wearing on stage, or in a photoshoot! I don’t need them all to myself. Sharing is caring, and fun costume clothes can come and go, jumping into many closets, and always in a good home. These have a travel/storage place all on their own. And with @nopantsdance in the house, we’ll have the most organized costume closet ever!

5. I may not be flowing in cash right now, but when I do, I do not mind paying a nice price for quality items. Once shone found these boots that were $1100.00. I would easily get them, and use them well. I would maybe wear them for a year or so, and then start sharing with the crew. Quality is quality, and the price always reflects that quality. I am okay with this. If something makes you feel so sexy and desirable, then it should get good use out of it!

Okay, so this is the start of a great plan. Now I just need to find the online resources that will be useful for me. Any suggestions? Guys I love to hear from you too. Shone always picks out the most amazing things. I know you guys know what looks good on a woman! Share please!
