//// The ugly truth
Posted on | January 9, 2010 | 4 Comments
The ugly truth about my outfits right now is that I don’t care about much else than warmth. And snow eligibility. So lots of wool, layers, scarves, sensible shoes. And I’m completely in black & grey rut. Don’t care about pretty. That is so counterintuitive — a person should fight with color against all this darkness?
Comme des Garçons H&M jacket (I love the unexpected skin exposure of this, deeply), two AA tanks, DIY mitts, leather cuffs from some small accessory boutique, All Saints pants (love ‘em, too, they are unapologetically ugly shaped), Doc Martens, minimal makeup, undone hair. I like this kind of ill-fitting — fitting, twisted variations of a suit and very subtle tonal plays: all other garments are cool toned — but the sheer burnout tank leans to warm gray. I really dig that AA sheer material. Ok, it is bit static, but it is so soft and super stretchy, great fot tying and twisting. And although it pills, it does it somehow pretty.

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.

This outfit is far from ugly and I love every single layer of it! You just inspired me to get my docs out, I haven’t done that all winter. Oops!

first, i love the outfit. it looks comfortable and that is always stylish, me thinks.
second, i personally do not understand why darkness should be fought with color. i love blending into the shades of my surroundings and find it counterintuitive to pop out. intuition is a funny thing, right?
