So, I decided to start this blog for multiple reasons, not the least of which is to keep my feeble mind occupied in a less-than-desirable geographic location.
The pursuit of the endeavor is to create a blog that is enjoyable to read, informative, interesting, and that sheds light on my current location.
I am a girl who absolutely LOVES all things related to fashion, especially classic, preppy styles. Living in a small Texas town certainly presents a challenge when trying to pursue fashions that fit my taste. My solution? I am going to start scouring not only the Internet, but the local shops (yes, here in Wichita Falls) that may be able to feed my need. I mean, I COULD drive the 2.5 hours (one way!) to Dallas every weekend, but what is the fun in that?
So, I invite you to follow me on this journey, understanding that I am, in no way, shape or form, an expert in fashion. I am, however, a person who has always enjoyed fashion, and I have been accused (by more than one person) of being a "fashionista". So, hold onto your pink bows, and follow along!
Don't want to leave you without a little nugget of inspiration, so here are some sites that I am currently OBSESSED with! Enjoy...and buy something!
The first nugget is a new company I discovered by following another blogger, Sarah Vickers, of Classy Girls Wear Pearls www.classygirlswearpearls.com. This is her company, and they sell amazing, nautical-themed accessories. Check them out! www.kieljamespatrick.com
My second nugget of inspiration this week is Wisteria. They sell all kinds of amazing things, from home furnishings to hand-made jewelry. It just so happens that a good friend of my works for them. They have an amazing on-line store at www.wisteria.com, as well as a boutique in Dallas, TX. I recently ordered some seed bead necklaces and some sweet nautical-themed coasters.
Alright, fashion lovers. That's it for this inaugural edition of "The Non-functional Belt". More to come for sure...
Oh, and if you're wondering, the name of this blog is The Non-functional Belt in honor of my amazing boyfriend. While he completely supports my love of fashion, he doesn't always "get it", and he refers to any belt I wear on my natural waist as my "non-functional belt"! Gotta love that guy!
Ok...until next time!
