Training or something like that


I think that all my years of training to be an art teacher have ruined me forever when looking at others works. I constantly find my self wanting to give some sort of criticism towards every painting, drawing, photograph, or sculpture that I see. I can't just appreciate art for what it is.

The worst part is, I know that I can't necessarily do better. Just That I know how to tell them how to make it better.

Damn you teacher training. Damn you.

A little post about fashion

So I recently been enjoying buying retro clothing. I currently own 4 dresses and a few tops. My bridesmaid dress was purchased from www.pinupgirlclothing.com.

Awesome website with a lot of sizes to choose from.

But I've begun to think. If I'm going to go for the part of a retro queen or something like that, then I need to actually take it to the next level.

For starters, shapwear. My Spanx are awesome. They are comfortable, they are breathable, but they aren't as shaping as I'd like them to be.

I ordered a while ago an awesome shaper from www.hipsandcurves.com. But it's not high enough wasted for me. Creates a bit of a bulge at my core. Not as flattering under tight fitting clothing as one would think. But the brand name of the shaper interested me, and I have now found other higher wasted shapers that are not too expensive and will give me the look I'm going for under stretchy and clingy fabric.

And it's very retro looking. :) Exactly what I'm going for.

Also, I'm tired of my bangs. But if I actually get them cut and keep them shorter, they aren't such a problem. (Most people know how often I really cut my hair.... I went a year once). But I do like them... When they behave.

Other then that, putting on eyemake a certain way and having red'ish lips, I got the look. And I do it well.

Lots of love,

Olivia
