26.09.2011 First photos without a photographer

 

Scarf: borrowed from my sister

Cardigan: second hand (3€)

Shirt: second hand (3€)

Bag: made by me

Pants: second hand (3€) + re-made by me ( How to make pipe pants )

Shoes: from Makasiini (13€) + painted by me ( Painting shoes )

I'm having some problems with the outfit photos. I haven't got anybody to help me take them, so I have to take them by myself using the self timer. I'm sure I look ridiculous and foolish when doing it (sometimes I even laugh at myself), but I have decided not to be ashamed of myself. If it's something that I enjoy doing, and it's not causing anyone else any problems, why should I care about what other people think? Although taking pictures of myself is strange and even superficial, I allow myself to do it because it is so much fun and makes me feel good. And in times like these I really have to hold on to every little thing that makes life feel worth living...

Wardrobe inventory part 3 /// Turning pants into a skirt

Pants: second hand (around 4€)

I'd had these pinstripe pants at least for 4 years. I wore them rarely, but I liked them. Well, during the wardrobe inventory I went through all my pants and tried them on and found out, that these pants didn't fit me anymore - they were too small! I wasn't ready to throw them away, so the only option was to turn them into a high-waisted skirt.

I don't know if I'll be wearing this skirt a lot, I guess not, because I wore the pants rarely too. It's not really my style. But some days, when I'm bored and wanna wear something different than usually, I will wear it! Hmmm, maybe with the yellow tights... Or the orange belt...
