name a style, i've probably tried it. there have been weeks where i left the house one day in all black with dark rimmed eyes, doc martins and fishnets... only to wake up the next morning to don some hot pink ensemble and pull my hair into pig tails. i've never been able to decide which style suits me best, which expresses who i am... so over the years i think i've thrown them into one big melting pot and come out with well, whatever it is i wear today. if i HAD to describe it, the only two labels i'm comfortable with are bohemian, and punk rock.
i've recently stumbled across this website: polyvore.com
be warned, it's pretty damn addicting. polyvore is like a huge database of any and every clothing item and accessory you could wrap your tiny little head around... as if that itself wasn't enough to get you addicted, this site allows you to make collages of these items, to create outfits, or "looks." it allows you to visually define what you like. i've made about four looks so far, all very different... yet all somehow simmilar.

revelations.
i've been through a lot since i graduated high school; two (two-year) emotionally abusive relationships, an on-going divorce between my parents, an alcoholic father, falling outs with friends and family members, discovering myself, losing myself, rediscovering myself, discovering i never really knew myself... and finally... confidence in myself, my life, who i am, and what i want. i truly, honestly feel i've got most of my life figured out, and those places that aren't quite perfect, i'm absoultely confident i have the ability to sort out. 
whats standing out the most to me at the moment is my over-all fabulousness. my dad recently gave me a data cd chaulk full of pictures of me in high school. now, i can't claim i looked fantastic every damn day (i was a little goth-queenie, and i did not pull the look off all that well), but i CAN claim that i put effort into every outfit, and everyday i wore something new, and i felt fabulous.
i've always had a knack for fashion, ever since i was little my outfits took meticulous planning and were very well coordinated. my mom is convinced i have a "fashion 6th sense," i'm constantly creating a outfits, or an articles of clothing she'll spot in magazines, on runways and in clothing stores months later. all through high school i dreamt of being a fashion designer, till the end.. where my plans changed to personal shopper.. since i'm much better at designing outfits, and not so much clothing. i even began the steps of registering at FIDM in san fransisco, majoring in visual communications... but once i took a tour of the campus, i decided the girls were all way too bitchy, and the fashion thing wasn't so much my scene.
since high school my fabulousity level has dwindled. i've stopped putting as much time and effort, not only into my outfits.. but myself, and my life, interests and surroundings in general. i feel dull, boring.. and pretty damn bored. it's time to up my fabulousity.
