//// Uncolored…
Posted on | August 25, 2010 | 3 Comments
I photographed this outfit in low light, thus the grainy images. I have worn lots of grey, lately. All grey outfits, tonal greys, greys combined to greiges… …yeah, kind of boring but also somehow weirdly fitting for a woman with road dust colored hair and wolf eyes.
This inexpensive little second hand mesh thing has found its way to surprisingly many of my outfits. This time I’m wearing it the wrap piece front under my all time favorite H&M cardigan. American Apparel tank is doing shoddy job underneath protecting my modesty — but fortunately I’m not too shy to show a glimpse of the neon purple Monki bra now and then — especially when the outfit is not revealing by any other means. Jeans are Cheap Monday — and Topshop shoes I bought nearly unused from a girl who could not walk in them. Good for me, these are excellent addition to my everyday shoes! The heel height is actually very moderate (maybe 9 cm) — but definitely too much for totally inexperienced user.
I haven’t been thinking autumn too much yet. August is one of my favorite months, the nights start to be decently dark and noticeably cooler, days can still be warm, but there also are days for light layers like this. I have been buying quite a lot of clothes this summer, even the sales were favorable for me although I did not scour them systematically. I’m definitely not having regrets, all pieces are great and will definitely go in circulation. But now I really have to face the fact that my wardrobe has it’s limits… …I have to start to consider my purchases more carefully — and honestly I don’t have much needs for the winter. I would love to find a sculptural cape coat — and always could add a pair of new boots — but I can definitely do without. Should I stop high street shopping altogether? That would probably be good option to consider…

There’s definitely nothing boring about this combination… Being of almost similar colouring, i find your way with gray and other non-colours infinitely inspiring. And i should have guessed you’ve found the perfect mesh-y layering piece at a thrift store… we really do need to make that thrifting pilgrimage happen this autumn!

I’m also loving the all gray outfit! And I’m sad to hear that the mesh thingy is indeed second hand, would have liked to own something like that myself.

Todella kauniit, sensuellit kerrokset. Utuista ja hurmaavaa!
