Pints of Guinness Make You Strong


I think I'm getting a better attitude about school. I still don't really care much for most of the writing I'm doing, but I think I'm learning more about what I like to write about. While I loathe writing about trends and runways, I really like writing about people and places and music. Those three things just have so much more interest. I guess I could write catchy deks all day long telling you to "Release your inner child with this season’s fun-loving rompers," but there's nothing there that has any interest to me. There's no story, no emotions to describe, no conflict. No passion. I know some people can do it, but that kind of writing turns my brain to mush.

Well, I'm kind of behind on outfits. This is from St. Paddy's day! Had to wear some green. I tried to wear my green tights, but I ended up not. St. Paddy's day as a whole kind of turned out to be awful. Some how I got the stomach flu and spent some quality face time with my toilet all night. The awesome thing about being sick on St. Patrick's day is that you can't really call into work sick the next day and expect them to believe you. "No really, I have the stomach flu!" "Riiiight, get your hungover ass to work." Just my luck, right?! Haha!

I hope you guys' St. Patrick's day was more fun than mine! Geez, I'm so far behind on life, eh? I need to catch up to real time. My life needs Tivo to fast forward to the present!

I love your outfit & your boots! Write things that make you smile regardless of what it is! =)

Ohh I hope ya feel better! I'm in NY but I know of a few people that caught the stomach bug this weekend too.

KT said...

I agree with your sentiments about writing fluff. Some people can do it... but it's so much more interesting if there is a person or story behind the words!

Love your blog - just found it through IFB, and it's completely fantastic! I know what you mean about the writing situation. I'm in grad school, and some of the writing I have to do just irks me...

Julia said...

Lovely green dress -- I adore it with the rugged boots.

Desiree said...

I adore this dress.

I'm sorry you were sick. I had it a few weeks ago, it is definitely not fun at all.

Sarah K. said...

you're such a hottie! I love how the black lace and boots add a tough girl edge to the ruffles.

I spent my St. Patrick's day watching America's Next Top Model...hope you're feeling better!

Blanca said...

Love the reference to Against Me!

Dylana Suarez said...

Gorgeous dress!

Amanda said...

I love the patterns on your dress! At first I had no idea what the heck you were wearing, my eyes just couldn't pick it out, but up close I love it!

SWF_Terra said...

Oh, there's plenty of that LOVE YOUR BODY IN THE PERFECT JEANS commentary out there. No need to contribute more. I read what you write because it's uniquely you. And I love a unique perspective on the same old thing (or something completely not the same old thing).

Great timing on that flu. Oy.

Out of Order said...

great outfit, I love the lacy bodysuit thing you've been wearing, with all the contrasting textures and your hair I keep getting reminded of Renaissance era influences :]

fashionforwriters said...

Haha I love 'Release your inner child with this season’s fun-loving rompers!' It's exactly the sort of silly, banal stuff that I hate about fashion writing too. Stay true to yourself, of course, your writing on this blog is wonderful.

sharonlei said...

Imagine life on Tivo.. that would insane!! :) You look lovely sweetie, bummer that you got sick! Hope you're totally feeling better.

xx Love & Aloha

Jenn said...

You always have such darling clothes! I feel sick to my stomach that the local F21 is 6 hours away when I only like to pick up a few things. Grrr. Damn you Fairbanks!

Orchid Grey said...

I was super sick last week too, missing St. Patrick's Day completely, glad to hear you're feeling better!

tess said...

Well at least you're learning what you really love! And you're gaining writing experience and clips in the meantime

Once again I love the layering of the lace sleeves. What a great look!
And I agree- the trend writing is simply mindless. Power to you for finding something about fashion that isn't mindless and writing about that!

If my work told me to come in when I had the stomach flu, I'd tell them to kiss my ass, and stick them with a lawsuit. They can't ask you what you are sick from(against the law in most states). Anyways, I love your dress. You look very cute:)

ana b. said...

I get what you mean! A lot of fashion journalism is made up of overblown adjectives and annoying enthusiasm -- and others just take it too damn seriously.

You have the.most.incredible hair. You make me want to cut thick bangs right this minute.
