I've been tagged by Little Boat to give a basics post, which I have avoided in the past since this challenge seems like so much effort to dig through my wardrobe and dresser to find "basic" items...
Two of my basics are black liquid eyeliner and various scarves, all are either secondhand or gifts or once belonged to my mother (and I have more).
I am addicted to ballet flats despite being 5'1" (I always give my exact height, because what some people term "short" is very vague) and my adoration of vests is nothing new.
Nearly nary a day goes by that I don't wear a full/a-line/circle skirt and this is the very basic outfit I am wearing today.
From ur pics, I've always thought u were like 5'4''! I'm neither very tall, and I prefer to keep flat when it comes to shoes as well, since I walk so much everywhere, and heels are just not comfy enough.
Cute pictures -- a great way of displaying your basics for us to see. I'm addicted to ballet flats as well and I've only got an inch on you (although apparently I'm actually 5'2 3/4").
I am definitely addicted to black liquid eyeliner too. I sing its praises from rooftops, but most people seem too nervous to use it because they think their hands will slip.
I too am addicted to liquid eye liner. I love the one by Shisedo, with its fine brush tip. On another note, I'd love to exchange some link love with you. Please come on over an visit me at www.superkawaiimama.blogspot.com
ohh i was going to say what 'unrealized fish' said. damn! The picture wall is very cool. a also like your scarves and the way you have shown them. -jenna
I really love the red and the yellow shoes ! I am searching for red shoes since 3 months but I dont find the perfect ones! Your style is so beautiful i love your blog!
I love the picture you are with your flats! so cutee!! I am too much into scarves at the moment, yours look good;)!
Oh! about Edie Sedgwick I don't think she was kind of Paris Hilton because she was into art, she was Warhol's muse for a while, and Paris... well, I don't consider her an artist or related with art. But I am happy you think like that because I've never heard anyone saying something not-good about her;) It's cool to hear different opinions.
Great pictures!Love the skarves and the ballet flats. Also, I dont think you cans see that you are 5'1.It always looks like you have long legs in the photos!
Hey! I'm in the middle of photographing my basics post too. I got exhausted mid way though-it's an on going process. I even did a little shoe circle just like you did....
i'm 5' and sometimes i feel a little lousy about meself when im in flats and not booties or anything with heels. but you've definitely changed that because you look so awesome and cute in all your outfits with flats. (:
thanks much. (:]
(ps: i always thought you were really leggy because of your poses in your pictures. they all elongate your legs and calves nicely!)

Love ur collection of scarves!
all my basics are like that too. Except for the liquid liner, i think its scary to put on.
oh thats hilarious that you are putting on your liner with your little hand held mirror necklace
I couldnt tell you how many vests I have!

Quite jealous of your collection of ballet flats and skirts. Definetly agree about vests, love them.

Nice shots--you have to come to NYC and visit my fave dressmaker/ clothing store with me--
Love the pics :)
this reminds me i have to do my basics post...
Your shoes look fab like that! Can't believe your 5'1" (same as me) but you look way taller in your photos. Must be the good outfit choices!
Your closet is full of goods, I would love to visit it someday!
