So, my mad posting of everything under the sun is basically a waste of time.  What would not be a waste of time?  Well, using this as a place to think about style - to figure out what I like and why I like it - would be a more worthy use of my time.  If thinking about anything so silly as style is worth anyone's time.  If I allowed myself emoticons, I would put a wry simile there.  From now on, if something is deemed worthy of posting, it must be accompanied by an explanation of why it is worthy.  So there.

This is glamour to me.
Jennifer Connelly, on the left, photographed for Vogue. I don't adore the dress, but the spirit is right.  And, heck, it's a great picture.
Carey Mulligan on the right.  I probably wouldn't have the guts (or, let's be honest - the money) to wear it, but wow. That's some dress.

Sasha Pivovarova for American Vogue in Alexander McQueen.
That sentence is amazing somehow.
I (renee) have decided that, from now on, I will either post pictures of clothes I would actually wear or seriously beautiful images. And that's it. No more reckless posting of things I only half-like.

Kate Winslet

By the way, I would like to congratulate myself.  Renee, you have set a new record - 50 something posts in one month.  Also, something you should be proud of, you have emptied and deleted three folders on your computer.  Bravo.  You have only.. uh..five more to go.  Oy.  But you can do it! You can have a completely cleaned out Style folder.  You can!

Oh, what the heck.  Let's be all girly and post some...
Jane Austen, baby!
One of the main reasons I enjoy the new film of Pride and Prejudice is because the colours - particularly the blues - are just gorgeous.  With modifications, obviously, I would wear just about every costume in that movie.  Well, at least, Lizzie and Jane's. Gwyneth Paltrow has lovely costumes in Emma as well - but they aren't as personally (gosh, I hate this word but it's the only one I can think of-) inspiring the way the Pride and Prejudice clothes.  P&P will date, already has a bit, but it still looks pretty to me.  Although, I liked Keira Knightley's hair a lot more in '05. Hm.  
Kate Winslet is gorgeous, and that hat is totally sweet, so she is included, too.
