That's the word I think of when looking at this outfit. It's crazy in the sense that you don't see a fur vest very often in Wyoming and if you do, I'd think it was real. I'd also think he'd killed it himself, assuming it was a man wearing the fur vest. He'd be all Dexter-like about it, taking a trophy of his kill. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglFd7gVP5-JDl7ANPGlYVCPFiysjlc83gEE5wkhW8UCIHri7g6UCxhXSSw1h6DAoKQbd7AjNm_XvssdHJYjU-hpfTtDqy7tSECC3yTbtBt5d1azzAujpG4YzXbjh4MpsxsCe4n34ATQmf6/s1600/11.30.11b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglFd7gVP5-JDl7ANPGlYVCPFiysjlc83gEE5wkhW8UCIHri7g6UCxhXSSw1h6DAoKQbd7AjNm_XvssdHJYjU-hpfTtDqy7tSECC3yTbtBt5d1azzAujpG4YzXbjh4MpsxsCe4n34ATQmf6/s640/11.30.11b.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Which leads to why this post is called "Darlyna." As you know, I love the show "The Walking Dead" on AMC, and one character has really developed this season, becoming my favorite character: Daryl. He supports the "back-woods redneck" stereotype in season 1 and takes it with him into the first few episodes of season 2, but he slowly grows out of that view when he starts to do upstanding things for the group. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELjEaSXSYhV3-Ge3QQXlO9PiYzm5mGN5HfG9B2plDgy-nQbYQpaWfNNZ2VBHjbEB-GgZdDwLNGce584Bsmg6GaMfrm3ROg8GLFW6-NGTaW_HshCoxekJgQEpTqiE0uPhKt-GX0zHs9mWP/s1600/11.30.11c.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELjEaSXSYhV3-Ge3QQXlO9PiYzm5mGN5HfG9B2plDgy-nQbYQpaWfNNZ2VBHjbEB-GgZdDwLNGce584Bsmg6GaMfrm3ROg8GLFW6-NGTaW_HshCoxekJgQEpTqiE0uPhKt-GX0zHs9mWP/s640/11.30.11c.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's a scene in the episode "Chupacabra" where a vision of Daryl's brother comes and taunts him by calling him names, one of which is Darlyna. I was inspired to create a look for what I imagine Daryl's possible girlfriend would wear (also realizing they are in Georgia means this outfit would never work down there...oh the humidity). I love the way this character is opening up and becoming more human in a world where humanity is threatened by zombies. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4ULUttqaBGd4QdAu69SOu9YwzRuug_DIG-JM5aJC5ZxkT9S7TKZXRw3m780hKWiHtWNlpKaLUMR85mjBAeJQzrdyk3gpQ_ZIzCnwlQ6w3QoNONP45zHHohRKsiOcuQyNNcY254pFjL77/s1600/11.30.11d.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4ULUttqaBGd4QdAu69SOu9YwzRuug_DIG-JM5aJC5ZxkT9S7TKZXRw3m780hKWiHtWNlpKaLUMR85mjBAeJQzrdyk3gpQ_ZIzCnwlQ6w3QoNONP45zHHohRKsiOcuQyNNcY254pFjL77/s400/11.30.11d.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sadly though, the show is on hiatus until February. *sigh* But for now, I'll be enjoying spiced eggnog and gingerbread cookies over the holiday season, at least until the gore begins again in February. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM8e8WBHHM71RC5ufgVrD_w5hQGoiDDN3b3KPVi94SdKrIU0USeX3aj5mWlE1-6FeihEsmLaN7xm8tZnL5oO0dBsYljq0R_s58tUGkL-cbgDsfsUvrhUg3zVtv29iCZp0w8zOls90hdomo/s1600/11.30.11e.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM8e8WBHHM71RC5ufgVrD_w5hQGoiDDN3b3KPVi94SdKrIU0USeX3aj5mWlE1-6FeihEsmLaN7xm8tZnL5oO0dBsYljq0R_s58tUGkL-cbgDsfsUvrhUg3zVtv29iCZp0w8zOls90hdomo/s640/11.30.11e.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Vest: <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74384&vid=1&pid=878782&scid=878782002" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shirt: American Eagle</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dress: Target</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tights: Old Navy</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Necklace: Urban Outfitters</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Boots: Enzo from Nordstrom</div>

It's slowly getting there, but it's been an uphill battle to finish it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you haven't noticed, my hair is getting longer! I've had a short haircut since college started, which is also when I started cutting my own hair. Ya, you read that right, I chop my own locks, so if you like my hair cut then try it yourself. You'll have no one else to blame but yourself if you don't like it and if you do like the result, kudos. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwL8w3GlirxhldObxYZ3S2Zg4ds8XrfP46yjghan14VqwBbXRcb7JKHstt8KPXWJRzIdOTvtWcJKBpSyeQsuUMWNp8z9Sv1m0I2Q-eWZ7jyVfaRPl5po4Zlm6d-9wKP22RBlfEvsm8fAu/s1600/11.28.11b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwL8w3GlirxhldObxYZ3S2Zg4ds8XrfP46yjghan14VqwBbXRcb7JKHstt8KPXWJRzIdOTvtWcJKBpSyeQsuUMWNp8z9Sv1m0I2Q-eWZ7jyVfaRPl5po4Zlm6d-9wKP22RBlfEvsm8fAu/s640/11.28.11b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I feel like...senior pictures. That's what these pictures remind me of. The pretty background with the sitting and the hand folded the correct way. The only difference between these photos and my senior photos are that I have them. My family took senior pictures but didn't buy any...what a waste, right? Whatever, I didn't like what I was wearing in those pictures anyway. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, this is Day Two of the 7 Day Dare. Good so far, but I can for sure tell you that come the end of the week, I'm going to hate wearing this dress and I won't want to look at it for a long time...at least a few days.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincVmoycehSqETS5D5nkDL3bqCbfViVxCCBdYjI-741oSwbyeunTAcpP7VeUuG4HxNg9FuaLmaWuNfan_RPDu-eyupsdpQd3sn-SZL8lNcTAdl_EKpX3yvn3Q6TjnmYY3AlLreLDurXzIp/s1600/11.28.11c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincVmoycehSqETS5D5nkDL3bqCbfViVxCCBdYjI-741oSwbyeunTAcpP7VeUuG4HxNg9FuaLmaWuNfan_RPDu-eyupsdpQd3sn-SZL8lNcTAdl_EKpX3yvn3Q6TjnmYY3AlLreLDurXzIp/s640/11.28.11c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Sweater: Target<br />Dress: Target<br />Scarf: Urban Outfitters<br />Leggings: Simply Vera from Kohls<br />Boots: Uggs<br />Sunglasses: Wayfarer Ray Ban

I don't know about you but I am a huge Dexter Morgan fan and can't wait to see how Dexter will get away with murder this season. Secondly, I watched the TV show Pan Am last night, LOVE! It's like the female version of Mad Men, only the office is an airplane.<br /><br />Finally, I know the last picture is blurry but I just love easy, breezy and beautiful. I look CoverGirl.

Sagging and Bagging

I recently read a newspaper article in a Savanah newspaper. The article was over a proposal for a new ordinance which would prevent teens from wearing their pants in a droopy fashion or exposing too much cleavage.  The Mayor of Savannah, Otis Johnson made a request for the to the City Council to explore the ordinance.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNcw2nntg2ExibCCkrUgk8Pp99RoKb1xooAtI2ywEhKnimyjUnkDtwyRPAD0DaAjNQQahdk4V5_FSxgG-r1zRz9yBIzrJsvrdz-kSSHROhW16PaWXEB3BrrR4nK3w18gEphyQmuNii_aqR/s1600/30baggy600.1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNcw2nntg2ExibCCkrUgk8Pp99RoKb1xooAtI2ywEhKnimyjUnkDtwyRPAD0DaAjNQQahdk4V5_FSxgG-r1zRz9yBIzrJsvrdz-kSSHROhW16PaWXEB3BrrR4nK3w18gEphyQmuNii_aqR/s320/30baggy600.1.jpg" width="320" /></a>As I was reading this article that fashion is extremely cyclical. By that I mean how did we get from the pants at your waist style to pants falling at your ankles because you pants aren't up to your waist. Where and when did this fashion start, a little research revealed that Lee D.Baker, Dean of Academic Affairs, from Duke University states that it is widely believed that sagging was adopted from the United States prison system where belts are prohibited.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagging_%28fashion%29#cite_note-2"></a></sup> Belts are sometimes prohibited to avoid by hanging oneself, or to avoid being used as a weapon in fights. The clothing was later popularized in the youth culture through the influence of hip hop artists.<br /><br />A reference on <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sagging">Urban Dictionary</a> stated that originally,"...this was a prison thing that signified that you were another prisoner's property, ie bitch. Punks were forced to wear their pants this way so it would be easier for their masters to pull their pants down and assault them." Whether this is true or not the are no other references that can be found which indicate anything else but a prison culture influence, I am not to sure that the reference to prison sexual assault in accurate as maybe reference below.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzQk3kv8Sqgzt0b1kiTg0_7RfvS9PcVWA98ZLguo5678j_vdI9kME2r8ZCpEU4tDDPwpu3x-qJfhu7zgDzpIVVo8lwbWm82PkxRA_ab4eBqr6CrF89UTkn4QT03yxoM7eZZ1TyRrX6XDZ/s1600/saggy+pants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzQk3kv8Sqgzt0b1kiTg0_7RfvS9PcVWA98ZLguo5678j_vdI9kME2r8ZCpEU4tDDPwpu3x-qJfhu7zgDzpIVVo8lwbWm82PkxRA_ab4eBqr6CrF89UTkn4QT03yxoM7eZZ1TyRrX6XDZ/s1600/saggy+pants.jpg" /></a>The website <a href="http://www.snopes.com/risque/homosex/sagging.asp">Snopes</a> indicates that although it may have originated in the prison system, back in 2003, Snopes found little indication it was over sexual assault, but more about poor fitting clothes. It may more be that clothes issue din the prison system were not built for fashion, many were over sized, maybe multiple sizes for some. Since belt's were not issued, keeping your pants up became a very difficult for inmates to keep there pants up. Obviously this trend carried itself back into the community through exposure to released inmates.<br /><br /><br />But much of the style has also been popularized by media, music and pop culture. So why would youth accept this fashion appearance, which has limited functionality and can cause injury by tying up there feet. Obviously like many other fashion trends over the years. Rebellion! <br /><br /><br />It is appearance that led to the arrest of a University of Mexico <a href="http://www.kens5.com/sports/123986169.html">football player</a> at San Francisco International Airport in June 2011. According to the spokesperson for the airline, his dress violated the policies of the airline for passenger dress. The implication is that the player had his underwear exposed, which might indicate a concern for biohazard materials, or cross contamination of the seats.<br /><br />The question might be when is someone's appearance conflict with public safety issues and health issues? The next question would be what is the governments role in addressing these issues and how to do they address them? Lastly, what role do parents have in this? Should they be addressing this issue earliar on, before it becomes offensive, or inappropriate?<br /><br />What is your opinion? We want to hear it!
