style icons

i've never been all that traditional when it comes to style. i love "cute" and "fun" as much as i love "elegant" and "classy." and i've always found inspiration in a random assortment of people...

first, there was clarissa of "clarissa explains it all." st

riped tights, bright colors, and a funky personality... and she had a cool alligator named elvis living in her bedroom!

and then there was mary richards (mary tyler moore), who embodied the young woman i so desperately wanted to be! she was beautiful and stylish and graceful, but awkward and funny and quirky. she was both in control and completely lost, and i could flip the bottom of my hair up just like hers.

there have been others... but these two are my all time favorites. 

i haven't been inspired in a long time. and i want to be. so i'm putting it out there... i'm ready for a new muse.
