2015 aesthetics (ghosts, pastels, neoimpressionism, and.... Sam Weir?)

 all images from tumblr- i lay no claims, and if any belong to you, tell me!

every new year, i have what experts call a "shit load" of personal traditions relating to trying to create some sort of inspiration for this year. with that, i usually make a playlist, a list of words i like, and at least 20 or something collages of images that i think are going to define my aesthetic for the year and help me somewhat attempt to be fashionable.

they never work (and you can take this from me; i'm currently sitting here in my oversize black sweatpants and robotics volunteer tee. fashion.)

the thing is, i really enjoy personal style, but mostly i enjoy aesthetics and art. i like saving a lot of images to my computer that i think embody me. i like printing out photographs that look like they could be movie stills and making stories out of them by pretending that they're all from the same imaginary movie. but... i don't... dress well.

when asked my trend predictions for 2015, i said "parisian night suits"

obviously.

i was going to end this post here, so that you could all reflect on how funny i was, but googling for that last image, i found.......

and, perhaps unsurprisingly...

 ha. the picture they chose really seals the deal.

anyway, i'm off to read a dictionary in search of words that will truly define my 2015.

happy new year!
