// White T season

Posted on | July 5, 2011 | 6 Comments

The wardrobe basics — well, they can be even better when they are slightly special. I know that I’m getting back to them again and again, just to clean up the clutter in my mind, remembering how simple dressing up can be.

However this white heavyweight Pour shirt is not exactly a basic tee — but something in-between a minimalistic jersey dress and tunic. The shape and length makes it perfectly versatile and the tail hem just encourages to layer it up with other garments.

It has been so warm and nice lately — thus the lightweight outfits. I love the tunic tucked in to these thrifted and cut acid wash jeans. I left the tight legged jeans purposefully longer — wanted leave more fabric to show off this pretty awesome bright blue / bold bleach wash. Boots are by Ash — and the arm chain by gTIE — honestly it needs some sleeve for hiding the attachment arm band… …works from front with this shirt, but not from the backside — could not resist for the photographing purposes, though…

Another garment begging the company of this tunic: the sheer tail skirt from Weekday. I turned it 90 degrees to get this pleasant hem play — additional perk: my operated knee nicely hidden. Wearing with old supermarket leather sandals, Lindex neck cuff and some very pink lipstick by YSL.

// Washed out again

Posted on | June 7, 2010 | 3 Comments

These Cheap Monday jeans have inspired me a lot this spring. I have built lots and lots of chalky, almost colorless outfits around them for everyday wear. I think that I had jeans with almost exactly similar wash in eighties, maybe that is the reason for my warm feelings towards these.

The top is from Gina Tricot — this is a lovely piece, the cotton is super soft and has a beautiful two color weave, which gives the fabric nice depth up close. I really like the peasant blouse shape at summertime — and it does not feel too romantic with this dove gray color and simple material. The chunky knit organic cotton scarf is from Vietto — another relatively new staple in my wardrobe. You can get these from Vietto Etsy shop or Goodis at Helsinki. Shoes are Sixtyseven heels from last summer. They are very nice to walk, but I have to confess that my accident has left some very persistent fear for wearing heels… …a flash of pain memory still strikes so often that I often have to change to flats before I leave home. Not a huge problem… …my leopard print ponyskin flats look good with these jeans!

FYI — I haven’t been partying hard lately. I got an infection to my right eye — but I’m trying to compensate the lack of eye makeup by giving some extra attention to my hair and adding some color to the lips… …that does not help to the persistent dark circles around my eyes, though!

// Chalky palette

Posted on | May 3, 2010 | 3 Comments

I’m inflicted by the spring light and digging out all my chalky, pale clothes from the closet. This is pretty much a boring jeans + T –outfit, but I’m loving the palette so much that I end up photographing it anyway.

I’m wearing my old Filippa K trench (which is actually in need of washing), Cheap Monday jeans, Chloé long sleeved T over sheer H&M tank, fringe scarf with silver beads from Lindex and my old all white Converse. I have the weirdest relationship to these… …I love all their whiteness so much that they get really a minimal amount of wear, always on dry and sunny days — I really did not guess that when I purchased them few years ago. I definitely need a pair of colored Converse to be mistreated to the glorious state of sneaker decay.

Personally I have never understood the concept of jeggings — and I blame Cheap Monday for that. Their slim jeans are made from extremely stretchy fabrics and although they have all jeans details they feel like a pair of leggings when they are on. I mostly favor denim with zero or very low elasthan content — but these comfort skinnies definitely have their place on my rotation. I also adore this very eighties style wash — unconventional but more grown up than some other heavily chlorine inflicted ones… …and they go so well with the chalky palette I’m feeling right now.
