   I was completely addicted to Polyvore for a few weeks, but I haven’t spent much time on it recently. It can be a really interesting thing - inspiring not for the fanstasy shopping aspect, but to give you an opportunity to experiment without commitment. From my fat fashion online community sprung a Polyvore challenge community that we’ve had a lot of fun with. Many of us brought items out of our own closets and then asked the group to create outfits around it, which of course helps you to see the potential in the piece you may not have previously seen.

   Here’s my profile as filledecoupe, but and yvetteregrets and henedina on my contacts list are my favourites.

   Love it, though genuine funkyness can get overshadowed by all the chanel and starbucks type pieces, I love using it for interiors.

   I have stayed far away from Polyvore because I know once I start, I won’t be able to stop.

   And this outfit is amazing.

   You know, last year I found myself dragging myself everywhere I went. I was very, very tired and then I got a cold that I just couldn’t chase. The last straw was a bump on the back of my neck. I finally went to my university’s clinic and the doctor figured out the bump was an occipital lymph node. After a blood test the conclusion was mono. I have a serious boyfriend, so it couldn’t have been from me “kissing around” but it’s true that anytime you share things with people (a cup, a spoon, etc) you also share germs.

   Basically I laid low for a couple weeks and got better. It took a while though; I had to give myself time. I hope that you don’t have mono, but whatever you have, I hope you’re beginning to feel better. I miss your posts!

   Hugs, Raphaelle

    Thanks for sharing. What a way to play with color and texture without building a second closet. It’s making me rethink my wardrobe. A few of my sets: livingsmall.wordpress.com. Lemme know what you think.

    Polyvore: The Clotheshorse Solution…
