In another life....or maybe this one.

Lately I've been thinking about what career I would have chosen if I'd grown up in a larger city. I love fashion and accessorizing. However, I can't draw to save my life. Well maybe I'm not that bad. I wish I would have taken my mom up on learning to sew when I was younger. At that time in my life making clothes wasn't cool. Everyone wanted the trendy clothes from Guess, Limited Too, and other like stores.

While actual fashion designing wasn't in my future a career in styling could have been. Again, growing up in the Midwest didn't lead to this kind of career. So, I'm left to styling myself. When I moved to the East Coast many people were shocked to learn that I was from Missouri. Their impression of people from the Midwest is country folk with no sense of style. It was fun to dispel the myths.

Last fall I developed a love for the color yellow. I loved everything yellow. My favorite color combo was purple and yellow. Over the past few months my love for yellow has waned. Recently with the release of spring collections, my love for yellow has been revived. Here are a few of my favorite yellow accessories minus my scarf.

Since I'm not pursuing a career in fashion design or styling, I'm considering taking classes in graphic design. I've always loved designing layouts for scrapbooks, making cards, and creating other things. Here is a few of my favorite layouts from my London scrapbook.
