2009: What I Wore
Clothes are never a frivolity: they always mean something. ~James Laver
How an entire year has gone by remains a mystery, and certainly my enjoyment of reviewing and blogging has dropped off a bit, but with the passing of 2009, I felt a silly desire to do one of these “Year in Review” entries, sharing a few of my favorite items that I picked up along the way.
Fair warning: I’m not trying to make a “best of” list or anything like that. What I am listing are my favorites of things I actually wore (for the most part) and enjoyed my virtual self in. Not all of these items were created in 2009, but 2009 is where I found them and they found me, so they’ll be featured here for that reason. While I will do my best to include the names of items and the stores and content creators I will not be listing prices because life is simply too short to go back and do that research. Also, I’m going to provide links to the images in my Flickr instead of embedding them in the blog entry. The WordPress/Flash bug makes posting a batch of images a form of torture that should be reserved for people Jack Bauer needs information from. If you want to see the Flickr image that goes with the selection, click on the word IMAGE beside the section title. I’ll try to get images for things that are missing added in a timely fashion, although for things like skin, hair, eyes, glasses, etc, they’ll be represented in other images, obviously. Yes, there are some editorial opinions here amid the rest of my blathering. If you expected different you obviously haven’t been a regular reader.
