//// All black with shiny leggings
Posted on | August 26, 2009 | 7 Comments
I have hard time picking style icons I really follow, but I’m embarrasingly influenced by movies. One persistent source for my inspiration is Mad Max trilogy (yeah, I said it loud, now I feel truly awkward :-O). In my interpretation it means disheveled layers, utilitarian elements mixed to tribal things, using whatever works for whatever, biker romantic, texture clashing, dirt. In my first outfit with woven latex look leggings I turned to my favorite source of inspiration and thought an imaginary (priest?!?) character that would fit to the imagery… …minus the dirt — this was for evening out, after all.
Wearing DIY woven leggings over cheap matte nylon leggings, 2or+ cotton tunic/dress with cascading asymmetric cut, H&M scarf (love the texture), old Vagabond booties, Sonia Rykiel studded bag, some old necklace with nice wooden cross, don’t really remember from where I got this. I apologise the infamous pigeon toe pose — I guess that it just happens when I try to set my thigs to most flattering angle =).
So now you know…

Found you through Kingdom of Style and had to comment right away because I’m in love with your studded bag. Lovely!

Mad Max on ihan loistava tyyli-inspiraation lähde, jonka ääreen palaan itsekin säännöllisesti. Kuvaat elokuvien tyylimeininkiä tässä niin osuvasti, ettei mitään lisättävää!
Lookkisi on mahtava — tuo tunika/mekko on fantastinen. Mulla ei itsellä ole ainuttakaan ko. merkin vaatetta, mutta olen usein ikkunashoppaillut ahkerasti niiden liikkeen edessä. Nyt pitää mennä sisällekin — jahka taas Hesaan käy tieni.
P.S. Onko muuten ok että kommentoin suomeksi? Olen pahoillani kun en ole aikaisemmin älynnyt kysyä vaan kirjoittanut vaan…

dreamsequins: Welcome! The bag is my favorite, too — and it gets lots of attention when I take it out.
Anna: Kiitokset! 2or+ kannattaa todellakin tsekata, kiinnostavia leikkauksia ja hyviä materiaaleja näissä vaatteissa. On todellakin ihan ookoo kommentoida suomeksi!

Your outfit is cool, but all I have eyes for is the BAG! Ok, today I’m apparently and officially the bag lady
, but I love this bag too. If you ever get tired of it, you know where to send it!

Fisu: haven’t you seen this many times already? I’ve had this like three years!
August 27th, 2009 @ 8:50 pm
Nope. I’ve seen many great bags, but not this one. My theory is that you’ve been hiding that from me. On purpose.
BTW Any chance that you’ve gotten tired with it, since you’ve owned is soooo long?

Nope, dear, sorry =)
