//// Lingerie & menswear
Posted on | September 22, 2009 | 6 Comments
Another pattern: when I start using a neglectect garment I soon discover lots of ways to incorporate it to my outfits.
These All Saints pants have been here before, in quite different company. Today I combined them to upcycled lingerie dress from CreoleCollection (I highly recommend this Etsy shop, the owner does amazing things with vintage lingerie pieces and some garment dye) layered over thrifted nylon slip (Fida) and Vagabond brogues. Later I threw on a thin merino cardigan and white scarf to go out — but it was too dark to photograph that. I’ll get lots of practical blogging problems later on the winter, there will not be too much light in this apartment.
I like the contrast of my lower and top half on this, quite nice yin / yang between feminine & masculine. The shape of the slip dress is fitted enough to avoid totally shapeless silhouette, but somehow manages to deal with my chest at the same time.

I'm especially interested in young designers creations, non-established labels and indie fashion. So if you have something interesting to show, feel free to contact!
You can find Finnish design from both specific and some outfit posts - but both are tagged.
You might be also interested in DIY posts, How-to posts, DIY ideas - or my adventures in Etsy =).

Yes, I like.

I like too! I’ve been thinking of ways to wear slip dresses and not look too tragic, yours is an encouraging example!

Hyvin mielenkiintoinen ja yllättävä — samalla silti tasapainoinen ja elegantti kokonaisuus. Alusvaatteiden mahdollisuudet ja estetiikka kiehtovat kovasti muakin tällä hetkellä.
(Kadehdin muuten pikkuisen teitä pitkiä ihmisiä tällaisista asumahdollisuuksista. Kaltaiseni kääpiö ei ikinä saisi tätä homma toimimaan, luulenpa.)

Thanks, girls! I think that slips work actually pretty effortlessly when layering, just peeking under other garments. Cardigan (preferably oversized and / or men’s) & slip(s) is easily one of my favorite combinations, works well with several bottoms.
Anna, kiitos! Luulen, että lyhyet alusmekkokerrokset, villatakki, sukkahousut ja bootsit yhdistelmä voisi toimia lyhyellä ihmisellä mainiosti!

Niin, mitenkään kovin pitkä varsi ei minullakaan ole, 168 cm on tuommoinen sangen keskimittainen.
