A Letter to That Kind of Woman

Dearest Kat,

good eve!

I write to you now to ask (with a bit of desperation and heaps of admiration) for help! regarding clothing.

you see, I am in a curious situation, that being, I go off to school on a farm.

tis my second year, and after this, I shall have one more year.

the problem, of course, is that I'm rather a City Kind of Kiddo, and my personal style (ha! I feel sort of silly and posh, my personal style,) is finally developing.

If you'll allow, I'll now tell my clothing story, as it were.

*ahem*

when I was a youth, t'was nothing more important (clothing-wise) than comfort. do you remember when gaucho pants were The Thing? well, every so often, I would go to Gap or Old Navy and stock up on black gauchos and black sweatpants. and for years, that was all I wore, with t-shirts, and the occasional sweatshirt.

and then I got a bit older, and I moved from black sweatpants to black skinny jeans, and again, that and a t-shirt was all I wore.

then, during my first year at my current school, I would obsessively wear a black sweatshirt over everything I wore, which was a t-shirt and black skinny jeans.

and then I got a bit of sense, and I would wear button-down shirts and jeans.

and that was it.

but!

I've fully grown tired of that, and I've gotten addicted to dresses, and folded up jeans, toms, and stockings, and big knitted sweaters, and charming arm-warmers, and rustic, wrinkled scarves, and I've gotten over myself enough to wear a cute t-shirt without a sweatshirt, and all of that goodness.

yay!

and so, finally, my question is how to keep my style still my style, and to, perhaps, keep developing it, whilst I'm attending my little farm-school. (it's not a school for farming, it's a long story...), for I understand you yourself live or have lived on a farm!

I really quite admire your tumblr, and your clothing posts, and all of that. and you. you're suups cool, lady. <3

thanks for making it, your tumbler.
seriously.

P.S.

I positively dream of college, what is getting a degree in English like?


and about college (this isn't necessarily to Kat, but it can be, if you want,)

what the devil is one to do if one wished to get a degree in cooking and/or baking, violin (or viola or 'cello, if I ever manage to learn them), language (french, italian, romanian, and japanese are the languages I wish to learn/am learning now), fictional writing, some kind of art, and English (what do you even do with that?) .

god help me.

Bread

'ello, loves!

Hand-made bread is a glorious thing.

also, if you make risingsunbakery.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/rsb-challah, Lily's Challah, with half all-purpous and half whole grain flour, it makes the most delicious whole grain (un-challah) bread in the world ever.

seriously.

in other news, I go through bouts of reading through That Kind Of Woman, an amazing tumbler. I love.
