Last Friday I attended a book party for a new collection of poetry by Aaron Smith. As with any event the question always comes up, "What will be my outfit?" You may recall back in the spring how I chose an outfit based upon the gift I was giving here. This time around I coordinated my outfit to the book cover art. The cover art is black, grey, and white and this being poetry I figured best to go a bit edgy, hence the faux-leather shorts. I didn't want to be too stereotypical poet in all black so I went with a colorful blouse and balanced out the edge of the shorts and boots with cutesy polka dot tights. Of course this strategy only works if you're privy to the actual book cover.
And if you're looking for an Christmas gift for any artsy/angsty relations/friends I high recommend Smith's book "Appetite"available here.
