The simple things we have are the things of truest beauty.

January 10, 2011

Our third, very interesting subject is Amity's closet! Comfort is not lacking in these casual outfits, but it fits the wearer. Everything about them is practical for an active person that doesn't care a hill of beans for a lot of fooforall (or huffyfluff.)   :)    Decisive, but not showy; attractive, unassuming, and original, this is a simple, every-day style for the practical artist. Unfortunately the pictures are poor quality because of the low lighting, but I'll try to make up for it by heavy descriptions.  With all that said, let's take a look!







No need to stay by the fire in these sturdy clothes. Normal jeans, combined blues for a lovely plaid shirt, pink laces on the shoes just to be different, (and cute!)  My favorite part is the green X on the knit hat! It's almost the first thing that I notice, and it's the one item that I remember. She likes wearing a bold pattern with solids that are similar in color.




Amity likes hardy materials, and that's just what we get in this outfit: a heavy black crocheted sweater, gray velvety pants, and dependable flat shoes. A splash of white under the sweater provides some levity to the dark color scheme, which, by-the-way, looks great with her dark hair and eyes.





Notice how rugged this style is. The solid layers are connected by coordinating plaid in the center. The boots are not wading boots, though they do look like something straight from the Civil War.  :) Dark leggings between the skirt and boots help the two to flow together.





The cream-colored button-up has little rows of tiny ruffles running up and down, and is heavily populated by teensy blue dots. Jean jacket with matching jeans is cute and coordinated. The blouse is lengthened below the jacket by a longer tank top.




From head to toe, this particular outfit is Amity signature. An easy, cute hairstyle with the top layer in a pony tail and the bottom layer swinging under the chin; bold green and white plaid with rolled up sleeves for action; a favorite pair of blue jeans; and healthy at-home bare feet!

Fitting the needs without being inhibiting, this take-it-or-leave-it style leaves plenty of room for a girl to really live. It is simple and realistic. The biggest personality expression is in the undisguised smile.

Thanks for reading! and keep your online binoculars ready next week for the last in this fashion episode.
