Golden Accent Mess of a Skirt


Hello dear readers, "long time no see" from your favorite blogger... hahaha yeah right... I know, I know that I had promised more summer pics and outfits before, but please believe me that I lost those promised images, they are no longer present on my memory card, no longer in my camera!!?? who would have thought? yes, yes, lost, lost, gone, done, cant find them, disappeared, something went wrong, blurred, gone! gone! gone! I bet and I bet a ton you all know what I am talking about and wont feel too annoyed with my constant self-explanatory tone, now I just need to plead guilty and move on and need to produce some new ones, and while I am doing so - I decided to use the above, a set found while looking for what was permanently lost, isn't life funny that way? yes it is, of course it is...anyhow, since I really really like this skirt, I still decided to put it up.
I love its richness and festiveness displayed in its royalty-worthy pattern, I love its deep color and I love how overall "weird" it is, all ruffled up and with this funky sash et all..don't you love such clothes, all kind of messed up yet working altogether? I love such pieces, statements, not just clothes, I am weird and twisted yet trying to remain elegant myself, take that world, I announce this to you via a skirt :)
Here, I paired it with a rich -in-ecor stocking, and not just an ordinary one either, it is a stocking with a long history (first of all, stolen them from my mom, second of all, girrrrrls! you wont find such stockings/tights anywhere now, gosh not that old
as these old dogs! I am not sure how old they really ARE, but I remember being like 7 years old and playing dress up with them, so yeah, they are must be like over 20 years... plus, those survived handling by "a crazy little girls impatient little hands and nails", my gosh? who makes something like that now, now you open a new pair, take them out the foil and there is a whole in them already because you touched them the wrong way"...those, geez, must have been made in some crazy quality control special factory or something, back i nthe day people seelling stuff wanted you to hold onto thier product...)
Anyhow, let me know girls, what is your favorite weird/asymmetric piece of clothing, or maybe share a story about a really old piece of clothing that just refuses to "get old"....

Flowers and Shashes

Posted by Picasa


It has been a while since I shared my outfit with the rest of the world, not like I was not dressed all those days, more so, I have been dressed and I have been dressed fine, oh yeah, dear readers, I am always so well put together… but just like every lazy blogger’s, my excuse will be the same: here…wait for it... i just had so much going on, too busy, life is so busy, blablablabla, wheew, whatever, time to move on and pledge I will do better… like them all, lazy bums, hopefully for the better though. I had one more set of pictures, before the premier of spring/like-summer outfits, which I thought is kind of too cute to dispose of, so I am sharing the older set with you, it is a cute ensemble and since summers have been a little cranky recently we never really know how warm it will come to dress this season, especially here in Chicago, so it may be still, at least somewhat relevant, especially since the pattern of the main piece is sooo nice and flowery. Yup flower patterns are taking over, everything from big ornamental flower motives to meadow – like patterns are very much back and staying around, I love it, I love color, but this far one color palettes were dominant, it is good to finally see colors TOGETHER!What I love about this combo is its comfort-level, feels like wearing pajamas (leggings and a loose fitted tunic which you can hide everything under, especially this bloated tummy after bigger than normal lunch or dinner), however, it still meets the casual yet put together look standards of a business casual office, I did, I wore it to work and people loved it. I put on a color coordinated sweater and to make it more me, I sash-ed it with a old ribbon from another shirt I don’t wear anymore, recently I have been a little more creative with what I wear as a belt encouraged with the recent belt-craziness unleashed in all forms, colors and shapes. Anyhow, I have some more outfits brewing on my computer already ready ready, ready to ready, so check back shortly, I will be sharing a couple summery looks
