It's time to take a trip down SpyGirl memory lane!

My first post for this blog was a selfie, sort of:

I started SpyGirl as a place to post fake visual journal entries for International Fake Journal Month. 

I sketched what I was wearing every day from 3/25 through 4/28/10 in a small Moleskine blank book. I created the fake persona SpyGirl for this fake journal and she has taken me through many blogging adventures!

I crawled through my early posts to find my first documented full figure outfit selfie:

June 14, 2011 link 
I also sketched the outfit.

Well, it took me a while to photograph myself, right? Haha.

That corner of my back patio is now totally overgrown by a Rose Geranium. [gotta do some trimming]

I'm curious -- what was YOUR first "Fashion" selfie? Did you crop your head out? Is it just part of your body (Remember Arm Parties)? Is it an awkward mirror pose? Is it your first blog post? Let's share!

Today is the 11th Year of SpyGirl! Not April Foolin'

 April 1, 2010 I posted this:

It was my first entry of my second fake journaling for "International Fake Journal Month".

[If you look at the Archives, there ARE "earlier" posts, but I wrote them after April and back dated them]

Do I still have any of these garments, 11 years later?

Looking...

2/4 of the outfit ain't bad!

I still have the Mary Jane Clogs as well, but I couldn't find the box of broken shoes, so you get my fluffy leopard slides instead. The striped socks are long gone. The paisley leggings I was too lazy to remove.
The gauzy runner around my neck was pinned to the skirt, I think to cover a large oil spill.

Is it crazy that I still have these items? Some would say yes.

Others would say, no, repair or refashion!

The tee is actually quite comfy, though I would only wear it under something, because, stomach.

I now have to clean up the eruption of Mending Mountain that transpired while looking for the skirt.

I found lots of stuff I'd forgotten about! Mending Mountain has A LOT of skirts in it. I no longer wear full skirts.

Cheers, 

SpyGirl

Could she maybe not take Prince so literally?
"Let's Go Crazy" indeed.

[ENID] Coral Belle

She pulled out her Todd Oldham Mosaic Jean Jacket.
Amashing it with every other patterned garment.
It's pattern insanity.

[ENID] An Apple a Day...

Keeps SpyGirl OK.
I wish she would keep this skirt in the studio pile.
It's full of stains + holes.
Digitize the print and Spoonflower it already!

[ENID] Raspberry Bray

Most of this outfit was left in the car, for note-taking purposes.
(That sounds risque).
The skirt was listed on Poshmark but has made a return to her real closet.

[ENID] Hello Heliotrope

(I Googled that color name. I was stumped).
This look came together without a hitch and she merrily went off to work in it.
Yay me.

[ENID] Purple Passion

Last night's fashion show outfit.
And yesterday's last day of textile class outfit.
And purple.

[ENID] Jacaranda Jive

This look won't be leaving the back patio. At least she was willing to stand in front of the camera in it.
Scarf pretending to be a tunic. Like many sketches last year.

[ENID] Purple Rain

No Prince Nooooo.
Is she wearing today's purple? She doesn't care. I don't care.
It's purple enough.
RIP you Purple One.

[ENID] RIP Prince

(Gah! Forgot my little notepad!)

Prince has left the building.

Nevermind all the clever things I was going to say.

[ENID] Sky's the Limit

I convinced her to wear her "house dress" to work today.
"But it's smelly."
"That didn't stop you from wearing that body-con dress on Monday, now did it?"
"Oh, all right. Fine."

[ENID] Navy Gazing

An easy, breezy day so far.
She is under the impression that the car has B.O. Is that even possible?

[ENID] Blue, Blue, My Love Is Blue

Oh Miz Bagg, dare I say that I miss you?
"You wore this dress two times last week."
"I don't care, it's the perfect blue color."
It's dirty."
"Well, why didn't you wash it yesterday?"

[ENID] Tealin' Easy

This outfit won't last long. She's getting all twitchy like a mad cow.
(Ha. I just called her a mad cow. Hahahaha).
"Put it on Poshmark, dear. I hate it."

Let's just imagine that yesterday didn't happen. 

It was plaid hell.

[ENID] The Greeny Blues

An especially trying morning with Her Highness.

She is tired of the green tones and wants more blue colors to work with.

"There aren't any more in the tin."

"Check the other tin."

"That tin has the same colors as this tin".

"This tunic is sticking to me. GET IT OFF NOW!"

[ENID] Into the Wild Green Yonder

Every garment has a pattern on it.
Oh my eyes!
Cannot unsee!
And the antique leggings! From 1988? 89?

[ENID] Pattern Smash

Squiggles, Floral/Paisley/Stripe Shirt, Stripe Socks -- she's wearing it all.
Wafting around in an 80's haze -- I can't get her to concentrate on anything.
