Update
I am so ashamed of myself for not posting in weeks, but I have been collaborating with a friend on an ebay store. We will be selling vintage, reconstructed, new, thrift, and originally designed apparel and accessories for guys and gals, and maybe eventually home accessories, furniture, and art, etc. We want our store to be just so before we "advertise." I'll post the details the minute we get it prepared properly, because to begin with we are selling many items from my obscenely large wardrobe and then we will actually buy items for the store.
In the meantime, I have read "The Fountainhead" and "On the Road." Both jolly good. I am currently reading "The Great Gatsby."
I have watched many interesting films:
It was directed by Kenneth Anger in 1949, and I can only assume the music was latered added by him in the 1960s. I am a little obsessed with the 2 songs featured in the movie; I am dying to find out who sings them.
I am also planning a trip this May to Portland and Seattle with my friends, which should be terribly fun.
Here's a look I wore to work the other day. I tried to somehow make neutrals POP! Wow, what an exciting, cohesive post.

DIY: dresses from the lazy seamstress
A. I bought a cobalt blue sweater skirt at Savers, added straps, and what do you know?!
A dress.
B. I laid down a dress and a top on some fabric (for the shape), started cutting, and added a red stripe to both sides because I haven't really seen that for some reason.
C. I augmented a 1970s blouse pattern to create a navy polka dot 1940s-style dress.
You too can be lazy like me and still make stuff.

DIY: knitting
This is the first scarf - the first anything - that I ever knitted. I made it a week or two ago, and I am extremely proud of it. I have used a guidebook my good friend gave me, as well as "Stitch 'n Bitch" by Debbie Stoller to teach myself. I look forward to creating new and better items.
Eventually, I want to get the knitting books "Twinkle's Big City Knits" by Wenlan Chia and "Domiknitrix by Jennifer Stafford.
