//// Once in a lifetime
Posted on | February 5, 2010 | 8 Comments
A friend of mine (who I don’t see too often) discovered my blog and asked if never wear “regular clothes” — like jeans and t:s… …of course I do, but I just don’t want to document that all the time. My jean and T outfits tend to be super simplistic, there’s really not much to see.
Anyway I ordered the ‘Once in the lifetime’ shirt from Your Eyes Lie in last autumn — and I really like it. This T-shirt dress cut is good and the rayon fabric really drapes well. Plus I’m actually digging the print… …I’m quite picky with those, but would love to have more…
I’m also wearing some eye-makeup — and that really makes a world of difference when processing images. I’m a colorless olm in the state of nature — and although I kind of like the olm look in real life (and it’s OK to photograph in natural lighting targeting to images with minimal processing) it actually makes image processing relatively challenging if I don’t want to lose all detail of my face. Next step will probably be lipstick… …whoa..
The jeans are the old Lee ones, I like their slightly quirky, twisting cut, cardigan is from H&M (I think that they have pretty similar ones this spring, I’m slightly tempted by the powder color), boots are Marc by Marc Jacobs, they have very low heel and the leg length makes my legs look bit stumpy, but I love them still, they have been worn beautifully. Coat is old Filippa-K and I’m wearing the second hand — Zara vest on top of it. Have done lot of that lately, the vest is incredibly warm and I love the hunchback silhouette it creates for me. And if you noticed the blue nails… …the polish is from H&M (I picked it up on my recent visit, wanted to see if they had cheap triangle bras for fuller bust and left out with this and a pair of tights) — I deeply love it.

OMG, this eye make-up suits you so well! you look fantastic with it. my routine is to emphasize the eyes and do nothing to lips, so i really love this look. like black T you have. what’s the text on it?
hey, did you see those black tights with white splashes in Kappahl? i thought i told you cause they are very you…i got them, loved them. they look like someone splashed white paint on the black leg. supercool.

Once in the lifetime. ok, i got it. dont like text Ts and Ts with peoples images on them but this one is pretty cool.

I have to agree about the eye makeup. I’m too lazy usually but I did notice it makes a world of difference.

Lisa — thanks! I haven’t been in Kappahl on ages, but don’t really know why — I used to like their tight department. Funny thing is that I had a pair of color splash leggings in my hand on H&M… …but then I decided that they are too rainbow-colored for me
.
Yeah, laziness here, too. I do more than the very minimum make up now and then — but definitely too seldom because this was the first proof of that actually happening…

You look lovely!

I tend to never show my so called “regular clothes” on my blog, I feel like I look too ordinary and there is nothing to show. You on the other hand, are far from ordinary.. It’s actually nice to see regular blue jeans once in awhile in the blogosphere.
I so know how make-up makes a huge difference! It seems that the pictures suck all the make-up, so I usually need to add some extra in order to look like a human.

Haha, now I need to add additional routine to my photoshoots… …makeup. This will be full time job soon — minus the income!

Tykkään meikata mutta aina en jaksa, ja joskus suorastaan haluan olla au naturelle. Joihinkin vaatteisiin se sopii paremmin, ja muutenkin en halua olla liian riippuvainen meikkaamisesta. Kyllä pitää pystyä lähteä ihmisten ilmoille ilmankin! Ja vaikka meikkaaminen voi tehdä paljonkin joskus, niin ei se kyllä vaikuta käsitykseeni siitä, onko joku ihminen kaunis vai ei. (sinä olet, sekä meikillä että ilman)
Hieno paita, ja Your Eye Lie on ihana, omistan niiden yhden ihanan kreisin trikoomekon! Menis vaan tä talvi nyt pois niin pääsis sitäkin käyttämään.
