the cheesy "Why I'm Writing This Blog" post and then we'll get to the good stuff

I started this blog a year ago.  Or maybe more.  (Obviously, I'm not counting.)  I had this urge to step out of the plain, drab grey world that I filled my closet with and branch out into, well, pretty stuff.  I wanted to start wearing pink.  And accessories.  Yep.  I'm one of those girls who gravitates toward the blah things of life because you can't go wrong with something neutral.  Also, I never learned how to accessorize properly.  This means that when I look in the mirror and think that my outfit needs "something", I panic and shut it down IMMEDIATELY because I know I have no idea what I am doing and I may inadvertently cause the retinas of the public I come in contact with to dissolve in pain as soon as I come into view.  I don't like to hurt people.  That means I play it safe and don't take any unnecessary risks.

That also means that I'm bored.

So as I was saying, I started this blog a year ago or so to chart my progress on the long, long road from Boring to Fashion-Forward.  (Keep in mind, it is a long, long journey to Fashion-Forward and I don't expect to make it that far.  I would like to make it as far as Put-Together before I kick off, though.)  I haven't actually posted anything in the year since I made that first step of choosing a blog name and a color scheme but that doesn't mean I haven't been making progress!  Hold on as we enter the risky world of Trying New Things and Living to Post About Them.
