//// Nineties cover-up-op
Posted on | June 16, 2010 | 2 Comments
I’m not turning this blog to outfit posts only. It’s just that I haven’t been surfing too much lately, haven’t got any fascinating e-mails from interesting indie designers *hint, hint* — and I just can’t get myself excited about fall fashion when the summer is just hesitantly beginning here far north…
Anyway, there has been a long period in my life when dressing to vintage nightgown belted as a dress combined to probably the most unfashionable vintage pair of sunglasses was totally out of question. But apparently that is not the case anymore. I layered this lovely pale peach silk vintage gown over a canary yellow vintage slip, threw a H&M cardigan over it — I love this one, especially after I changed the ugly plastic buttons to dyed mother of pearl ones — what a shame that there is no sight of them in these pics, haha! (Side note: I’m not always worrying about minor details, but ugly buttons are certainly an issue for me.) And then let the white Converse and couple of leather cuffs cut down the sweetness.
The sunglasses are my very first high profile brand pair from nineties (Emporio Armani) and they have started to look fresh to my eye just recently. I especially like how they combine metal and plastic to distantly antiqued look. Truth to be told they are actually my cover up plan for non-existing make up.

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 =).

Converse are serving their duty quite well.
cute vintage dress, pity cant see the neon top too well. but lovely idea to layer neons and pastels — i should try! you know, i saw those neon green plastic wedge sandals in H&M and i totally realize that it is fashion junk but i started to want them, i could already see them with a white broiderie anglaise dress!! and you know, recalling your pleated skirt, i am wearing one today as well. with a thick flowery obi belt. too bad flower pattern is so exploited this season, i can almost cry when i see all those prints in various colour schemes. always loved flowers and always will, but now trying to take it easy on that front.

The color of the slip is not neon; it’s bright but relatively pale canary yellow. And the effect is quite subtle, but some details of the slip can be seen through the dress.
Oh, I want a white broderie anglaise dress! And neon green sandals would definitely be a plus!
