Being "Normal" Doesn't Suite Me

Being "Normal" Doesn't Suite Me!

I want to make this my mantra for 2011

I'm honestly disappointed in my overall creative spirit for 2010

Last year I had close to twice as many blog posts.

I'm not sure exactly why this last year was so blahhh

but I think a lot of it had to do with me feeling numb,

because heaven knows I certainly had the time on my hands

to accomplish 3 times more

I think I've been Numb to the fact that I have NO clue what to do with my life

I never imagined I would be 25 and have no career and no kiddos

in fact I think my biggest mistake was planning to raise kiddos as my career.

I know 25 is still young and there is still plenty of time...

blah blah blah

but it's hard to build yourself up when everything you try seems to fall apart

the funny thing is that I actually have lots of ides of what I want to do

it's just I haven't a foggiest of how I'm ever going to achieve them

or if they are even plausible.

this might come as a shock but I think honestly

I want to own a little grilled cheese deli

lol I am always thinking about it... it's the strangest thing

I have all these ideas about how it would look and what I would serve.

Think cute cupcake bakery except with bread and cheese!

Because who doesn't love cheese?

Might be the wackiest idea ever

but at least it's something, right?

Anyway, I've gotten really off subject...

One of the ways I plan on getting my creative juices

back in the swing of things

is by being more bold and more importantly more ME!

This might sound silly but it's the god honest truth

- I feel on top of the world when I dress "quirky"

I feel beautiful, and while dressing like a "kid" might not seem sexy

I feel more like "that" than when I'm trying to dress like an "adult".

A very sweet new friend shared with me some new terminology

for Japanese fashion trends

that has opened up a whole new world of sweet eye candy goodness.

The differences in styles are still a little confusing to me

but I believe my new favorite is Fairy-Kei

which most closely reflects my own personal style.

I haven't really had a chance to share most of my looks

from the last past year

mostly because I'm picky

and like them to be staged and what not

but for 2011 I plan on setting up my tripod

and just focussing in on what I'm wearing.

One other fashion style to come out of Japan

is Mori Girl or "Forest Girl".

I just had to share this picture

doesn't she just look so angelic?

So what are your pre-New Year's resolutions?

Don't worry you still have time...

I'm just curious if anyone else is feeling really excited

for a fresh start - on the right foot

and to make it even better maybe in a new pair of shoes!
