Happy Valentine's day everyone, as we speak I'm stuffing myself with lots of Chocolate, curled up on the coach while having a movie marathon :) perfect :)
I was actually clueless what to wear stepping out, Sunday is after all my lazy day, I was initially wearing these "flare" jeans with my Topshop sailor top, perfect combination but ... no coat that would go with it :/ I somehow miss a perfect navy coat... so then I just grabbed whatever...
I bought this John Galliano top for $45 in a consignment store!! a steal although it took me quite some time to figure out how to wear it :)
The trench is from the H&M, I think I ones bought it having job interviews in mind, its scary to see how easily a trench can make a whole look more sophisticated/fresh/clean..
Today I really felt like going for an elongated silhouette, soft colors, lots of layers, socks and chunky heels. I love "funny" proportions in clothing... :)
I'm wearing about three vintage slips on top of each-other, a peachy oversized mohair jumper dress I found in a consignment store (Tokio7, east village, NY) a vintage (?) ruffle coat from Beacon's Closet (Brooklyn, NY) and Chloe chunky platforms (also from Tokio7)
I came home and heard the news about Alexander McQueen, I'm so devastated, to me, he was one of the few designers that gave Fashion a pulse, I always completely indulged in the visuals of his creations... :(
Still freaking cold :(
I have been on a massive sock hunt lately, looking all over the place for knee high socks or over-knee's that I can slouch down, getting ready for Spring but decided to play with it already :) Honestly I haven't found any exiting socks yet, these are old H&M socks, I was googling Missoni, hoping they would have some jaw dropping ones but.. nope.. not what I'm looking for... :(
I made the coat when I was still in Art-School (Fashion) for one of my collections inspired by the movie "Metropolis" (Fritz Lang), some other designs are up here (from a different collection, though) and I'm still busy making a bunch of skirts...
H&M top, Aldo shoes, H&M socks, woolen tracksuit trousers from Humanoid, Scarf Marc Jacobs
This Winter-y weather is so hard to dress, I can't wait for Spring! You pull out what to wear and then you have to make it Winter proof... meaning adding tights, adding cardigans, adding jackets and coats, adding, adding...
I guess I have to wait for Spring to really show off this Parisienne Sailor Blouse which is now basically hidden under 2 blazers, I wear a white Zara blazer over my black Wang blazer, keeps you warm plus adds a new touch :) and yeah... I'm into sailor stuff right now :) another color that's really missing in my wardrobe; Navy...
wearing; Alexander Wang Blazer, Zara Blazer, Parisienne Sailor Blouse, Navy dotted cream skirt, Black tights, Zara boots, Tassle Rucksack
The H&M faux fur leopard jacket was such a steal, I got it on sale.... but... I really don't like the lining (inside) it kind of make the jacket look cheap, no? I actually just really noticed it on the photo... so I might "operate" the jacket and change the lining, knowing myself I might do something crazy with it :)
The leggings are my absolute fav but.... totally loosing its shape/stretch :/ does anyone know a little "fix" for it?
I'm actually busy making a whole bunch of skirts, it feels so good making stuff again :)
