this is rambly and disjointed

Trying to get better at using my fashion tumblr. I still REALLY wish I could change which one is primary - also wish more people had this issue so maybe Tumblr would eventually get around to it - but whatever. (Sometimes I consider just using mimicofmodes for the fashion stuff and the regular stuff, dropping itmeansapricot, but then I'm like "but everyone who just wants fashion stuff will hate me".) I thought analyzing the decoration on 1810s/1820s dresses was a decent subject. That's the trouble, it's a million times easier to write labels if you've got a fairly narrow theme, but I'm not always that great at coming up with them - so I end up writing bland stuff about chronology. But it is nice to go back to it when I'm not working in a museum, feel like I'm still connected in some way (meanwhile everyone else from FIT has a real job).

I always fall back to "nobody gives a damn about your text, they just like pretty pictures." I mean, look at the blogs that post constantly with minimal info and usually no links. People love them, because they just want pictures. I'm not sneering, it's just mildly disappointing.
