Lookbook - Looks that make me, me
April 28, 2016Hello my dear friends! Long time no see!
Arrghh mid-semester is a disgusting time. I feel there is no nice way to tackle it,(actually productivity and forethought would probably do it) but who has time for that?!?
Anyway, with the majority of my workload behind me, I thought get back into blogging with something new and exciting.
The Social Print Studio are running this cool projects that has inspired me to come up with a lookbook that highlights all that makes me, me. So I've come up with some styles that I would love to see printed in one of their funky photo books.
My dilemma, If I showed you all these pieces, which I would love to do, is not only would
the post go on FOREVER, as I told you the nitty gritty of every single thing
but I would run out of clothes!
I have a remarkably small wardrobe (probably due
to the millions of half made items waiting to be finished), and everything in
there is there for a reason. I’m pretty brutal like that. First they get
demoted from hangers into the drawers, and then one day they’re gone. Poof!
Usually to my cousin (who takes pleasure in wearing my old clothes just to stir
me) or to the local op shops, because I could never dream of throwing a
perfectly good item away just because I didn’t like it any more.
So today I have decided to show you a few of my “styles,” or
moods that I have.
My wardrobe is a fascinating place, a place where vintage
mixes with new and Alannah Hill hangs next to my handmade tunics.
What makes a person a person? The past…
In my case literally.
Fashion today is always changing but there is always this underlying
need for “staples,” or “the basics.” These are things everyone should own, and
occasionally there are items that I think, well that would be nice… but I’m not
a “staples” person, nor do I ever wear things only once.
So many words in and no clothes yet… This is going well…
*Get on with it! *
Two of my friends bought the same dress one day. Personally I couldn't understand that, how could you both walk out of the store with the same dress? The next time we went shopping they found the dress again, this time in my size. So I let myself try it on, just to see...
But as soon as I put it on, I knew that this one was mine for the keeping...
I'm going through a Peter Pan collar phase at the moment and have a general love for tartan. This dress is almost a dream come true and is the most perfect fit! I'm in love.
Stepping back another decade. This is the piece I "borrowed" from my grandmother.
And finally...
Do you have any favourite items that just make you feel like you?

I really enjoyed reading this post and seeing your different looks. There are so many lovely things but I like the A line dress you made and the red coat a lot! The photos are gorgeous too.
