I knitted you a hat of blue and gold to keep your ears warm

When I was making the list of fashion influences the other day, it reminded me of the MA project of a friend of mine...she was basically studying the discrepancy between what people think/see of themselves and whether that translates into what others actually interpret from us visually--she called it "Body Image: The Thesis"--and made me want to do a little experiment to see if my influences match up with my practice. So I decided to track my outfits for a week or so and see if I could see those influences in my clothing choices....all that below the cut.



It's been interesting to keep track like this--mostly because of how very much I don't look like what I think I look like, right?

PS - The T-shirt in the final photo is one of my treasures from mental_floss. It says "I'm an English major....you do the math."


ALSO. I just finished knitting my very first hat. LOOK AT IT.
