The clock has 3 hands

Hello,
How are you? I'm well... happy, I suppose. I have been dressing more "avant garde"-ly recently, which is good. I guess. What I mean is by doing this I have to force myself to do something at least mildly productive everyday. When I don't dress like this I feel like I have betrayed myself and my mission (?) somewhat. This may not be the most healthy way to view getting dressed but it does mean that I have a constant in my life. That being clothes and experimenting with them.
Anyways moving on from the obligatory Charlotte Musings...


So for this outfit I wore an old coat my mom made in the 1990's that was never finished so the arm hole on the left side was not totally sewn closed. I stuck my real arm through the hole in the arm hole and pinned the sleeve and a white glove up on to my right shoulder creating a "third arm"(?).

Also did you notice my sick new glasses? I am, like, super thrilled with them! I really, really, really am going to try not to lose them (good luck with that)...

Anyways I hope y'all are doin' well!

Love,
Charlotte

I'm a Bird in an Aeroplane



Hello, 
How have you been? I've been well, I suppose. I have had to quit my internship at a vintage store (some of you who read my old blog may be aware that I had an internship working at Bobby From Boston) because of insane amounts of work, which I try to balance with having somewhat of a social life. While the fact that I have been insanely busy with school would generally mean that I had less time to get dressed but for some reason I have been experimenting despite my work load... I suppose it is because I have not had much time to do much else creative so dressing kind of has become my oasis. It's funny but it seems to me my interest in fashion fluctuates not necessarily in relation to anything else in my life. Well that is not entirely correct, the way I dress tends to indirectly reflect how I am feeling. Black, white and red has been my motif of late. Black and white I think have to do with my continuous switches between extreme happiness and sunkeness. Red channeling Lady Vengeance. Anyways that was just a little ramble explaining my current fashion feelings. I'm sorry if it was not particularly interesting. 


I am wearing a 1960s mens' button down under a 1960s sheer slip and a wedding veil from the 1980s. This veil was really quite annoying to wear. It kept slipping in my hair as my hair is not long enough to really hold it in place and because it is so long I had to tie in into knots on top of my head. But overall I was quite pleased with this outfit.


Love,
Charlotte
