incredible indecision

Guess what happened right after I posted by last blog entry? If you said I changed four times, then ding ding you are correct. I feel a little silly for making a blog post of an outfit I didn't even wear, so to make up for it, here's the actual outfit I wore!

The only thing I ended up keeping was the Adidas shoes. I must say, I'm a lot more pleased with the way this outfit came out. It's a little more mature but still keeps some elements of my old style (this maxi skirt is a Claire Patzman staple). I also LOVE this top; I honestly bought it just because it matches my hair, but boy am I glad I did. 

(here's a brighter pic so you can see the color of the shirt) 

My dad's birthday dinner was also absolutely lovely! I wish I could have eaten it all, but it was so filling.

warriors, come out and play

If you're confused by the title, it's a reference to the movie The Warriors, which contains the line, "Can you dig it?" multiple times. I'm going out for my dad's birthday today, so I decided to go for a more sporty, which is something I've been doing a lot more of as of late - probably as a by-product of buying a pair of Adidas shoes. As you know, I can be quite conflicted with my style, and I think my main problem is I just never feel fully satisfied with what I'm wearing. I'm always worried that it's not me enough or it's boring, and it's super frustrating. Hopefully the more I post, the more I'll figure sh*t out. Anyways, I'll leave you with the song that runs through my head every time I wear my Adidas. xo

welcome

Hello world, my name is Claire, and welcome to my pad blog <3

(this is a pic of me)

Recently, I've been struggling to reinvigorate my passion for clothing and for fashion. I feel as though I used to have a very defined style that was my own, but now I'm not really sure where I'm at. Thus the creation of this blog, to hopefully help me find my love of fashion again, and to put my nervous energy into something productive (ish).

Past: my style used to be very manic and colorful, with inspiration coming from clowns and the 50s. I wore lots of dresses and skirts, with insane mixing and matching.

(like this minus the fur coat)

Present: like you probably figured, my style is a little confused atm. Pants and hats have been my friends recently, and I find I'm buying more simplistic and less colorful pieces. I don't quite know if I'm going for a 13-year-old boy in the 80s or something more modern and refined???

(like this is what I wore today)
