//// Time traveller?
Posted on | August 31, 2009 | 8 Comments
This blog has already revealed me one thing. Dressing up is costume play for me, at some level.
One day I just thoughtlessly pulled on my harem pants (I love this quite extreme silhouette, got them from Only sale last winter) and started to think what to combine them this time. I threw out the rules to stay with fitted tops with harem pants, picked a flesh toned silk tank, my own super-oversized silk mohair knit (free knitting pattern here), a broken studded belt and distressed leather boots with rubber embellishments. The result looks hard to time exactly, did I come from the past or the future? And weirdly androgynous, which is an achievement with my ultra feminine build and all that fleshtone.

Ooh, I can almost feel the softness of the knit from these pictures! (If it is infact really scratchy and itchy, please don’t tell me, leave me to my illusions!
I’m not much of a commenter, but I have been reading your blog for a few weeks now, and I really like it

You made the harem pants look great, unbelievable. Yep, they are still not my favorite piece of clothing, but these piccies made me warm up. So, I love the outfit, once again!
And on top, now I have the feeling that I should start knitting.
Your blog is seriously dangerous…

stellagee: kind of my thoughts… …thanks!
elle s’ennuie: fortunately I don’t have to disappoint you — this knit is soft as baby’s breath on the skin! Thank you!
Fisu: I know that you would love a pair! First: they look great on a tall person with light build, like you. Second: they are the most comfortable thing to wear after tracksuit pants (and those we don’t wear, right
).

I agree with Stellagee’s comment — it’s the same medieval/pre-historic element combined with an unconventional take (i.e. no space-suits as such!) on futurism, that draws me to Rick Owens et al. I do love your style more and more, it’s subtle yet surprising.
