My New Old Obsession


The New Chic: Sporty. Sexy. Chic.



My New Old Obsession isn't a shoe, a designer, or even a person. It's the website Polyvore. I don't know why but I just up and decided to make a set one day as the boredom overcame me. The last thing I expected to be was entertained. The website has been revamped to the point where the sets anyone makes can look professional. And I'm entranced. I've spent my days and some nights actually making sets. I'm beginning to get really good at this. I wanted to share some of my favorites with you guys, before I make more and can't choose.
I've also found that I really like muted neutral color palettes, with pops of color for that for this summer. But what do you guys think of these sets? Tell me in the comments!

Playlist: Paris Nights, New York Mornings by Corinne Bailey Rae

 This song, make me think of Paris in New York. Corinne Bailey Rae almost always make me thinks summer days in my most favorite place in the world. This set took me an incredibly long time to complete because I had no idea how to mix the two cultures. But here it is! Enjoy! Love, Dream

Scene:
Walking out of the NYC subway, the sunset of the city creating an orange, purple hazy backdrop for the skyline. Heading to a Parisian bistro to enjoy this Friday's end of the week dinner. This outfit was trying to capture the perfect Parisian girl without comprising too many of the ideals you learned as a New Yorker. As you  walk past the stores and windows, you turn slowly to catch a peek of yourself. How gorgeous! That bag looks sturdy, not delicate, but the scarf you added was the stroke of genius. It adds delicacy and mirrors the shy demeanor of girl blushing on your shirt. The cardigan adds a bit of covering. However,  the real stars are the cute shoes and barrette. The shoes, ivory colored, are intricate yet simple, just like a Parisian, but funky and smart, like the New Yorker in you. The barrette exudes pretty, but dangerous and unpredictable with the jewel encrusted spider tucked between the delicate looking ribbons, within your half updo. You smile coyly to yourself, happy with your own blend of Parisian and New Yorker.
