People's Revolution


This is actually my outfit from Sunday. I'm a couple days behind. I got this cute ruffled dress from Value Village a couple weeks ago, and it's much more of a spring/summer dress, but I still wanted to wear it. It'll be a perfect sundress for whenever summer does come along. I wore my cute little polaroid pendant that my Mom got me for Christmas. It even has a little polaroid picture that pops out!

I went to my second interview today. Now I'm just waiting to find out whether or not I got the job! Crossing fingers, commence! Oh, and my online school started yesterday! I'm trying to figure out all this junk and hoping that I don't owe them money (which is remarkably difficult to discern).

I'm currently watching "Kell on Earth" about Kelly Cutrone and People's Revolution. I think it will be an interesting show. What I hate most about reality tv is that it's all about people trying to get their 15 minutes of fame by being ridiculous and stupid. I like that this show gives a different perspective on the fashion industry. I mean, it's not all pretty clothes, it's a churning business that can eat you alive, and I find that aspect pretty fascinating. I hope they focus the show most on the interesting work that Kelly does and not so much on silly interpersonal drama.

In some more fashion related quasi-news: I just got two tickets for the Academy of Art University's grad school fashion show and this is solidifying my desire, nay, need to get to NYC for fashion week. Dear Chictopia, I love you, please give me free tickets to get there!!!! PLZTHX.

I'm loving that green cardigan!! I was just lamenting my very small collection of cardigans last night.

I know your blog is super popular so this may not mean much coming from someone very new to all this, but I really love reading your blog. I am passing on the Best Blog award to you today - the details are up on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration!

What Would a Nerd Wear said...

crossing my fingers for you to get to new york!
i have been reading you for a while and yet to comment, but i have to say i love your style and your outdoorsy-ness and your sweet photo locations. so many people have these lovely patterned dresses they're breaking out in winter and i love the way it changes up the rut of winter clothes.

Fashion can definitely eat you alive. But if you have a passion for what you do, it is worth it. My office has so much drama but I always keep in mind that I love what I do. I have three rules: I am nice to everyone, I never lie, and I am always ethical in my work. This goes for all industries but it more needed in my opinion in fashion and beauty.

Sidewalk Chalk said...

I covet your outfit, seriously. All I've been wanting to wear recently are dresses. Your cardigan and tights are awesome, and that necklace is so cute.

I hope you get to go to NYC! I really like reading your blog.

I love floral prints in winter! Something about the floral print against a snowy backdrop. And how cute is your necklace?!

I watched Kell on Earth too...I enjoyed it! It showed quite an interesting behind-the-scenes view of fashion.

Orchid Grey said...

The whole outfit is great, but that necklace is AMAZING. amazing isn't enough of a word to describe it. so cute!

Also, I really liked your last post, it was really cool of you to share those other aspects of your life (and your life is, indeed, amazing!) you were a commercial fisher-woman for chrissakes!

Out of Order said...

wow love the outfit. I want to get floral skirts to mix with lace tights now! And your hair is totally my dream goal now that I've stopped straightening mine; sadly it's not even shoulder-length... If only wishes were inches of hair growth!

I hope you get the job you are interested in :]

Jessica said...

Love the dress and belt. It looks great with the lace tights. And that necklace is so awesome!

Good luck with the job stuff. I bet you'll get it!

So where is this show? I keep seeing it being mentioned but I don't know what channel it comes on or anything.

And they announce the chictopia contest winners tomorrow right? Fingers crossssed!

Julia said...

Beautiful vibrant color here. I love the pendant, too! I haven't seen Kell on Earth, but I'm sure I'll get around to it one of these nights...

You look great!

Jessica said...

Thanks for the info! Even if Bravo doesn't have it online I can probably find it somewhere. I do a lot of TV-catch-up online. Tvduck is a good source for lots of links if you're ever looking for something!

junebabie said...

Cheyne and Cayla said...

I really adore this outfit. The green cardigan is wonderful, you're a great color muse! :D

BARGAIN BEX said...

I just watched (and posted all about) Kelly Cutrone's new TV show too! I'm already totally hooked.

And as for your cutest-necklace-I-think-I've-ever-seen ... well ... I wish it were dangling from my neck as I type this. Darling. Mom's got some uber good taste :)

Okay, I have to know what you do with your hair (if anything). I have curly hair, but as much as I try, I just end up looking like the homeless version of Shirley Temple. I must know your secrets!
