duplicity

III
One shirt, two ways.

The age old trick of layering, taken to my advantage.
 Grey
 becomes slightly more interesting
 upon closer acquaintance.



The same friend, in a different mood, appears in this slightly reminiscent set.
 Sleek
 Chic
 not very meek 
---
but yet a trace of that innocent school girl
topped off with an excellent shoe.
-ironic pun- 
(Maybe someday I'll write good enough puns that I won't feel I have to point them out.)

a little menagerie of inspiration

II


An allusion to menswear with a vest underneath a jacket.



  An elegant heel, reminiscent of a salsa dance of yesterday.


 A pair of shorts, stolen from a lover, now nearly forgotten.


There can be a story in any outfit.
Even if it isn't true.

Jacket: An old lady Boutique
Vest: Goodwill
Tshirt: Gap
Shorts: Gap
Heels: Nine West

Red, White, Blue. Black.

I
Red, White, Blue.

 Sophisticate.
 Dated.
Elegant.

I love to mix patterns like this. 
Something about the clashing is more beautiful than any solid color or matching print.

Blazer: Goodwill
Scarf: street vendor in Roma
Skirt: Patagonia
Shoes: Payless
