Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

ita ! is a bona fide genius. Wow.

repentant yards of clothing.

That is a wonderfully evocative phrase. Man, it was such a revelation to me to cast off (mostly) that inner critic and just say FUCKIT, I'm wearing what I want.

OMG, I just bought this dress from Voluptuous Vixen and I looooove it

Gorgeous! I need more casual summer dresses, mine are mostly too dressy.

I have a style in my brain that my body can't support.

I have a style in my head that my laziness can't support. Okay, more like twenty styles I'd like to rock, but the point is I mostly stay generic and easy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Which I will get to, any minute now. Any minute.

This is also when I will do my yardwork and then set to dealing with the mound o' paperwork and craft supplies I hauled out of my study.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am too lazy to have any real style, but if I ever did put in the time, I'd want to dress like a cross between Djuna Barnes and Nora Charles, with a bit of Morticia Addams thrown in for good measure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dagnabbit, the dryer is still broken. I should have gone to the stupid laundromat! But see above re: lazy. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't thrown in a cat-hair-covered throw, thinking that the hair would be pulled out in the dryer. Yikes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That business plan was brought to you by zolpidem tartrate and chocolate.

I don't think I could ever have a style, but having a little bit of a few is just fine. I basically want to wear all the clothes and jewellery that I find on the web that make me coo, and I feel I've made a decent stab of it, with the obvious gap of special occasions, of which I have very few.

My sister has three weddings to attend this year, and I'm very jealous. I love weddings. Well, no, I don't. I love dressing for weddings. But all I have on my calendar is one engaged cousin, from a family of flibbertigibbets, so I don't know if anything will come of it, or when.

I think of you as quite stylish, ita.

::curtsies bashfully::

I feel my wardrobe has multiple personality disorder, which is why I think I couldn't have a style. I don't know if I can get extra points for having seven and a half. Part of me does wish I could be as consistent as Jilli, but I do realise that's totally not my mindset, since I don't possess that degree of single-mindedness, and am much more magpie-like in my shopping philosophy.

But, since I don't have any particular feeling of "ita ! wouldn't wear *that*" of most things I like, it's only a theoretical sad.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I want you to dress like that! You need that steampunk corset.

I must say, JZ does a good job incorporating the Bathory Boots (available from Clockwork Couture) into her wardrobe.

The MySQL server at Clockwork Couture is down. How depressing.

"Eclectic" is a style!
