The other day on my holiday break while cleaning out my really old magazines, I had a brainwave. Literally. My mother wanted me to clean out the messes and recycle, but rather than doing that, I sat down and ripped out all of my favorite images, photos, and ads that I could find. I stuck them all over my closet door and my bedroom door, and labeled them 1-40 (there were 40 images) with the following in mind: whenever I was lacking clothing inspiration in the morning, I would choose a number randomly and that was the outfit I would mimick and/or style I would take on for the day. I've heard MANY people say that if you want a style mixup, have one of your friends choose an outfit for you, but now I have 40 paper friends in my own bedroom to help me out. I felt very proud of my achievements. So out with the old, in with the new: the only 2009 magazines I have around are the March issue and the September issue (of course). Try something different, and take your old vogue magazines and make it into an art project that can help you for the rest of the year. Or at least the season. I don't know about you, but a Colorado winter ends in May....
