28.03.2012 If I was a boy...

Beanie: second hand (1€)

Shirt: second hand (2€)

Yoda shirt: borrowed

Pants: second hand (1€)

Shoes: Makasiini (12€) + painted by me

Creating an outfit is my passion (and of course the reason for this blog's existence). I love to choose clothes for others, too, and especially for boys. One day I missed that so much I just had to create an outfit for a boy. It's hard to explain it, I just need to do that every now and then. Since there were no people available, I started to imagine what I would wear if I was a boy...

03.03.2012 How to save money part 283

I buy almost all my clothes from second hand shops and recycling centers except underwear, socks and tights and lately I've become to notice that those are the most expensive clothes that I buy. It feels so stupid. And because I am so broke I got an idea to repair all my socks instead of throwing them away. I don't know if it's too much and totally crazy and waste of my precious time... I just thought that it would be both economical and ecological and I did it, haha.

25.02.2012 Lovely wall

Skirt: from Lindex

I was so happy to have a proper background! I hate taking pics indoors with boring white walls. This wall was so delicious!

22.02.2012 Me? Blue? No way!

Beanie: second hand (1€)

1st scarf: second hand (from my grandma)

Coat: from Exotic

Bag: gift

Skirt: second hand (1€)

Tights: second hand

Boots: second hand (from my mom)

2nd scarf: gift

T-shirt: second hand (from a friend)

Top: second hand (from my sister)

I just don't like blue. I don't know why. At some point I almost started to like turquoise (omg!), but... I always end up thinking that it's not for me. Sometimes I ask people to choose me colours to wear (usually my sister) and if they intentionally wanna make it difficult for me, they say blue. So this outfit's blue and violet are of course chosen by my sister. If I find myself thinking "I feel like wearing blue", the next thought is without exception "There's something wrong with me today!".

Worry #1

The quality of the photos sucksssssssss. They look fine in my computer but when I upload them here everything just looks horrible. I've no idea what I should do to make them look ok. Ohhhh, I just hate computers so much today.

Worry #2

That skirt doesn't really fit me anymore cause I've been losing so much weight (unpurposely). That's a shame, cause I really like it. And the problem doesn't concern only this cloth but almost all my clothes. It's funny when you can't really see or feel any difference, but suddenly your clothes just are in different size. Maybe they'll return to their original sizes soon.

Worry #3

I'm having an identity crisis. I think this outfit looks way too feminine. Nowadays I'm having difficulties of deciding what to wear cause everyhting feels wrong; way too feminine or way too masculine. I feel like I'm somewhere in between and these days it feels like I can't really find my place. I wish this problem would concern only my clothing, then it wouldn't be such a big deal... Well, I try to believe that there's a place for us all in this world and that some of us just have to work harder to find it. I shall not lose hope!

Lovely sunshine made me feel good and dream of summer! I wanted to pretend that it is already summer and wear happy and colourful clothes (hmm, don't I always...?) and listen to reggae and smile and dance and be in love with the world!

P.S. I think that sunflower necklace has become my symbol of summer! Everytime I see it I start to think of summer and all the good things in it. Lovely, lovely necklace!

Knitting a beanie

Beanie: made by me

I hadn't been knitting in years because I always ask my grandma to make me mittens and woollen socks and everything. But one day I found that old mitten and it had no pair, and I liked that shade of brown so much that I just had to get something made out of it. Bought some more yarn and decided to make a beanie! I really like the result. And knitting was so relaxing, I really should do it more often!

My mission was to find cheap and ugly notebooks and I think I succeeded very well! Who really wants to buy notebooks like that? And who the heck has made them? They are so ugly that it makes me laugh. We'll see how they'll change!
