Love Jas, but Julia did not turn out as planned. Hopefully my next one will be better!

The other night I wore my Maschina top out with my synthetic leather pants and a cocoon cardigan from Target.
I safety-pinned it closed when I wore it out to avoid subjecting people to the horror of my nude figure.
Thank you, everyone, for the kind words in response to my last entry. I talked with one of my favorite ladies (another Kathryn!) and I feel much better.
The arrival of my new Alternative Apparel shirt from Karmaloop was no doubt another small thing that lifted my spirits. While I can’t call myself a “textile nerd” necessarily, I have a penchant for modal (a textile spun from beech trees) due to its incredibly soft texture. It also breathes exceptionally well (much better than polyester), making it a great lounge material as well. The particular shirt I bought was a 90% modal and 10% silk blend, lending to a more sheer and slinky feel than my other modal shirts (which are a modal-cotton blend), and for less than $30, it feels so incredibly luxurious. It’s absolutely comparable to T by Alexander Wang, and far cheaper.

While I do love that its sheer, it’s a bit too sheer for completely practical use. When going out, I’ll definitely have to throw a blazer or sweater over it (which shouldn’t be a problem in our current weather, but eh…) Anyway, everyone should go get this staple tee! It’s truly amazing!
P.S. I curled my hair! What do you think? I’m trying to love the blonde at least a little before I go back to red.
P.P.S. Sorry for the terrible lighting!
