// 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.

Right now these babies are responsible for my bone health. EBayed Doc Martens, Marc by Marc Jacobs ruched leather boots, old leather boots with rubber bands. For more formal outfits I can go for my brogues or Jimmy Choo for H&M toad shoes.

What can I say. I miss my heels.

// My chartreuse legs

In the middle of the dark and gray autumn…

…do you ever get the urge to fight back and wear something pale and bright?

I wore today old blush Stella McCartney for H&M knit (this is pretty worn, but I kind of like that), old Marc by Marc Jacobs silk skirt, chartreuse tights from Lindex (a great find for three euros, I’m all about funky colored tights), old Topshop wood wedges in cream lacquered leather.

Wedges work well for rain. Trust me.
