today is national pink day

I didn't know that National Pink Day existed, and I am not even sure why it exists... but, I am glad that it does! :)

So what does one do on Pink Day? I would think wear something pink. Or at least waste some time on the internet looking for cool pink things to share on her blog! ;)

One thing is for sure: expecting a little girl fills your house up with more pink things that you could ever want or need (as testified by the last picture below...).

Enjoy Pink Day!

could you wear the same thing over and over?

I've always been fascinated by Steve Jobs' approach to fashion:

He always dresses with a black turtleneck, jeans and sneakers. It's his uniform. I guess it's his way of saying that he just can't be bothered with picking clothes before heading out of the house. Or, it could be that he really loves this clothing combination, thinks that it looks great on him and doesn't see a reason not to wear it over and over and over again.

I've found myself thinking "could I come up with my own uniform?" many times.

Wearing the same stuff every day would definitely help streamline my closet and spend less money on clothes. But would it make me as happy as my closet full of different choices makes me now?

I don't think so.

I like change, and my taste changes without me even realizing it sometimes. So there is no way I could wear the same stuff for too long.

But here is someone that is trying something along these lines:

Meet the girl (not sure what her name is) from The Uniform Project. Started as a fundraising blog, she has pledged to wear the same dress 365 days in a row (it's really 7 dresses). Of course, she tries to accessorize it differently so that she doesn't look like she's wearing the same thing every day.

It's a very cute idea, and she does a great job at accessorizing it, sometime to extremes, where you can't see the little black dress anymore.

The Uniform Project is obviously very different from the Steve Jobs uniform.

This girl wakes up and still has to think about what to wear. It actually might take her even more than usual, considering she needs to include the dress and she has to make sure that it's not going to look like anything else she has already worn before.

Plus, even though it starts from the "uniform" idea, which to me should also mean "more economical" way of dressing, once you take a look at her site, you'll quickly realize that she is not saving any money, and all those "accessories" are definitely expensive, and take a lot of room in the closet (so no closet clean-up either).

While her blog is pretty cool, and you can get some inspiration on how to spice up the same outfit on different days, it just proves me right: it's impossible for a girl to wear the same thing over and over again!!! ;)

fashion disaster: arm accessories

Holy Crap!

Wouldn't you feel a tiny bit weird walking around with such a big plastic bag wrapped around your shoulder?

I know that if it were up to it, the Louis Vuitton bag would much rather end up in Chinatown than spend one more minute hanging from the same arm as that huge white plastic thing.

Or being mis-matched with the checkered coat.

It's just not easy being an LV...
