I find it difficult to mess around with clothes back home in Malaysia as much as I do here in London, mostly because of the familial mockery/surprise that greets anything remotely new, but partly because it's so damn hot. They get pretty hot 'n' humid summers in Japan, though, so it's interesting to see how they dress despite it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2009/160/04w.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 491px;" src="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2009/160/04w.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This is my favourite outfit that I've seen so far, but one wonders if it isn't a little <span style="font-style: italic;">too</span> perfect. It is a bit ridiculous of me, but will she ever be able to come up with so ideal a combination of hat, hair, sun, dress, bracelet, socks, shoes and sunlight again? If you asked me why I thought this so beautiful I would have to say it is because of a) the colours and b) the fact that the dress and hat are both a little too big. The precise lines of the dress, the wrinkled socks, the angle of the hat on her perfectly bleached head ... it is too beautiful to think about!<br /><br />And the Japanese are the emperors of layering. Layering in the summer! Madness. And yet they don't look like they're about to up and drop dead of the heat.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/031/04a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/031/04a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/014/01a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/014/01a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/012/01a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 466px;" src="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/012/01a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Possibly it's just because they're made of tougher stuff than we are.<br /><br />What I find particularly interesting is the fondness of shapes that don't necessarily have to anything to do with the shape of the human (female) body.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/007/02a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/007/02a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />That isn't very clear, is it? What I mean is -- so much of (Western?) fashion is focused on being sexy, or showing it all, or not showing it all but suggesting. Which is fine, obvs, I'm a huge fan of the tiny mini shift dress and that's hardly modesty central. But it's interesting to see fashion that isn't fixated on how much you can show off or suggest, where a baggy T-shirt is not the worst thing in the world.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/033/04a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/033/04a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/036/03a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 500px;" src="http://www.dropsnap.jp/img/2007/036/03a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I'm not going to say it's not about sex, because who knows? I'm not here to do a sociological study. But it's cool to see summer fashion that isn't just tiny summer dresses, much as I love tiny summer dresses!<br /><br />- ZenLemms and Hemshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113758097672962284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028257257916376488.post-21709403675325851242009-05-28T19:05:00.001+01:002009-06-05T14:25:22.889+01:00Pretending to be a little boy in the girliest wayApprox. 1 million years after everybody else, I have come to the realisation that waistcoats and formal shorts make the cutest combo.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3598/3573127973_37a3734bfe.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3598/3573127973_37a3734bfe.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3245/3573942366_81e231aa6c.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3245/3573942366_81e231aa6c.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Chain scarf/necklace - knitted by me; black waistcoat - H&M; white lace cami and grey shorts - ...

Although I’m more likely to stay indoors and enjoy the coolness while admiring the bright colours through my window>_<. <br /><br />Since I have contemplated running (and my old pair of trainers + bad training regime = problems with shin splints this year) I’ve been looking around (online mainly) for new running shoes. Maybe I should get a pair of Asics? Obviously while looking at Asics...I got distracted by the Tigers and all their pretty colours! Now my brain desperately needs some Onitsuka Tigers...and seeing as how I’m such a t-shirt+jeans person...a pair would round off my daily get-up perfectly:D <br /><br />I love the Fabre series, because I love basketball and I love the cut (I am truly simple-minded>_<). <br /><br />This blue low-top pair is more or less exactly what I'm looking for, I love blue so will definitely go well with my monochrome wardrobe... <p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339505950122649250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 183px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ6NwpXiLLEPcMuAW8WBMn2fi1JCfsJPzxXRk6o9y3SJdlF03eIpltf1t7DpSGQ85hoWOE5rhwz7jJTPGIOaKukcGtNrIqWhE3JNmlNuxr0wOmfDLkoGMuR1PwpIyJqG3XS6zcyla8dDWp/s400/Fabre+74.jpg" border="0" /></p><p><br /><br />This high-top Fabre is amazing!

Almost all the pictures are angled like 23 degrees above the plane of my head. I am short as it is already but these pictures make me look even shorter. Anyway, I'm practically living off leggings now because they are super comf and easy to style. I mean I can just dump on a huge shirt, accessorise and that's it. Let me point out that these leggings are made of proper pant-elastine-whachamacallit material unlike footless tights so nay I do not run around showing my bare ass. <br /> <br />Actually, I now recall that I use to wear leggings and over sized T-shirts (mainly of the Mickey Mouse variety) when I was about 7. I still remember they were from St. Michael's, now rebranded as Marks and Spencers. My aunt bought a pair as a gift for me and from then on I never looked back. There was even one in black checks, in a nice way of course, not too big to look stupid and too small to be too mind boggling. I doubt that was fashion sense then, as a while after that I fell in love with the likes of dungarees and Timberlands but oh well, life goes on.<br /><br />Leggings are like the Gwen Stefani sweat pants of my early teenage years and it being the trend now is the right timing as well becuase it's the exam period so comfy clothes equals hight efficciency.

It's been 4 years since I have written a proper essay (currently everything subjective are either derivations of equations or calculations) and I ran out of ink. Obviously there was an extra pen because I play safe like that but as strange as it sounds, I have this satisfying feeling when a good pens run out of ink. It's like a 50p pen has been put to good use throughout its lifetime and can now die of honour and dignity instead of being lost into the depths of the black hole to never return. Can you imagine how much money you could have put into that Chanel 2.55 bag fund if all the pens you used were used to death? Like maybe £100? Srsly because some people spend A LOT of money on gel ink pens and it doesn't help that when you fiddle with your pen, pen dropping accidents lead to a loss of another good pen. So there, now you know about my pen-finishing obsession.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, last week I wanted to buy some antibacterial gel because again, I am safe like that. Hey the swine flu was scary last week okay. I wasn't the only one because Boots ran out. Instead, their till points proabably had a week's worth of anti-bacterial hand wash. So I decided to get the new <a href="http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?categoryParentId=13349&storeId=10052&productId=870703&callingViewName=&categoryId=13357&langId=-1&catalogId=10551">Boots Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum</a> for the mum since they were on 3 for 2, plus they were recently published in the Journal of Dermatology - proper scientific proof that it works. (I am never buying stuff that 'claims' to work anymore unless publish. hmmph) And also this.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDZnd7cvz8_ilEpFGXEC-7VtIvZHAOrqszS9ToyX2OtgZg-hL_y-FLNf7WjSfJoJfBB5T8wr9eC-jyxdmoLEnAnoJe6i0N3b_F-FOUJQGK1LcNQHkw9CWxRrgjlg_tRmXkaLjlUJOLRW7h/s1600-h/Untitled.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 381px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDZnd7cvz8_ilEpFGXEC-7VtIvZHAOrqszS9ToyX2OtgZg-hL_y-FLNf7WjSfJoJfBB5T8wr9eC-jyxdmoLEnAnoJe6i0N3b_F-FOUJQGK1LcNQHkw9CWxRrgjlg_tRmXkaLjlUJOLRW7h/s400/Untitled.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332330903322223186" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" >L'Oreal Pefect Slim Pro-Massage</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Hahah, I know, am I paranoid or what? But no, I am not. I am 22, UK size 8 but I suffer from cellulite. Okay honestly? You have to squeeze the thighs to see them but I noticed that there are more and more of them appearing and man I don't want them to appear in full glory when the need to squeeze them to view 'em horrible things disappears. To all girls who think I am crazy, I am not. In fact, I would issue this strict warning that once you reach 18, never, and I mean NEVER take your metabolism rate for granted because when you realise what hits you, it's too late. Weight gain and weight lost is no problem-o but don't gain weight too fast because then when your fat cells expand too fast, the lack of flexibility in the nearby connective tissue will cause the fat cells to tend to bulge upwards towards the surface of the skin, hence giving you a thigh with weird dimples. (Sigh, why can't cheeks get dimples that way huh?).<br /></div><br />Oh my goodness. Read this<br /><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><p>Lastly, women's panties are a very important causative factor in the developement of cellulite. Women's underwear today is radically different from their counterpart 50-60 years ago. This discussion is not intended to be a history of women's underwear. However, in the sixties hemlines on skirts started to get shorter and thus the length of the underwear shortened. In the last 40-50 years we went from loose underwear around the thighs to tight underwear going across the middle of the buttock. Interestingly, with the introduction of the Mini Skirt in the 60-70's era, along with the Hot Pants, there came a wave of exposed cellulite.</p> <p>Wearing thongs, boyshorts, or sleeping naked can reduce the occurance of cellulite. Underwear that has tight elastic across the buttock limits blood flow, causing cellulite to form. This is especially important while sleeping, as the legs are not as active. When taken into consideration with the above two methods, cellulite can be prevented with a couple easy precautions.</p></blockquote></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay I always had the suspicion that I started getting more cellulite after wearing skinny jeans and this has proven me right. Noooooooooo 3 years of being in fashion caused cellulite? I am disheartened. Where has fashion freedom gone to? Sigh<br /><br />Back to the product that can hopefully reverse the errors of my ways. The way this baby works is you have to knead your thighs with the rollers, which kinda pinches your skin then you rub the gel around the areas you have just massaged. I don't know if it works or not, we'll see. Like eye cream and sun screen, this is going to be an imperative regiment for me. Now if only I was not so lazy to exercise.<br /></div><br />-SueLemms and Hemshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113758097672962284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028257257916376488.post-9196326668539952642009-04-24T14:02:00.006+01:002009-06-05T14:26:32.066+01:00Matthew Williamson William Matthewson<div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328242859627399298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 293px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPBfgf0sWt6nKcL_jNC5GXl6oGSJX3SnoNaSkg1ysHzr6JwUnUcmKxQ5HI5FYANmbU_lR4iTkqnlxUuI3wIf1c5_n_fkoKJ_HcdtqZK7kvGzNYlLqn-wqu93ifAjAqUs9LVRroNeP2x6Ko/s400/Daria_Werbowy_for_H&M_by_Mathew_Williamson_00.jpg" border="0" />I know there has been a whirlwind of wants from this collabo.

I like the demureness of the soft rose tights under the staid brown of the trench and the shoes. The delicate straps on the shoes, the profusion of buttons on the coat, the contrast between the creases in the pushed-up sleeves and the neatly folded scarf. But most of all, the colours. A subdued greyish-blue, rose pink and I'm-not-sure-what-to-call-it brown. It's just so pretty and thoughtful and gentle, something you'd wear on a grey day when you weren't feeling too chirpy but you weren't too down either -- just tranquil and in a mood where everything is beautiful.<br /><br />I don't have tights which are that precise shade or a skirted trenchcoat of any hue, but one could mock up the scarf with a pair of knitting needles and some patience, if one so desired:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2178/2231900280_51f1df667e.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 247px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2178/2231900280_51f1df667e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://people.delphiforums.com/knit_chat/knitchat/patterns/bowscarf.htm">Bow-knot scarf by Katherine Burgess</a></span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2250/2385567369_f1642bbf8d.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 343px; height: 228px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2250/2385567369_f1642bbf8d.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://nebuladesigns.blogspot.com/2008/04/ribbed-mini-scarf.html">Ribbed mini-scarf by Celeste Glassel</a></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3035/3049557815_d24e7ab869.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 394px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3035/3049557815_d24e7ab869.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/anthro-inspired-scarflet">Anthro-inspired scarflet by Kim Seio</a> (on Ravelry)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">And looking at that picture, one thinks one might be inspired!<br /><br />- Zen<br /></div></div>Lemms and Hemshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113758097672962284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028257257916376488.post-28721601016767808202009-03-26T13:01:00.002+00:002009-06-05T14:23:11.048+01:00Of printsYesterday Sue and I went to the Burberry sample sale. The only thing I can say for it is that it confirmed my impression that the Burberry tartan whatchamacallit is <span style="font-style: italic;">ugly</span>. Why put this print on the lapels of a perfectly good polo shirt, rendering it hideous? Why have it on a quilted bag with black leather handles and panel? Why put it on wellies? <span style="font-style: italic;">Dim gai ah?</span><br /><br />In justice I should say that they had one rack of women's clothes which were interesting and which I might have bought if they were not over £100. I tried on a gorgeous empire-waisted calf-length deep purple dress which was made out of some sort of matte silky/satiny material and was just heaven to touch. And some other things -- a gold dress, a hilarious aquamarine top covered with big plastic sequins -- were interesting. But on the whole it was a mildly depressing experience, filled with overpriced mackintoshes.<br /><br />We bought shirts for our fathers and brothers and grandfathers and skedaddled. After a dim sum lunch to revive our spirits, I ambled with Sue to South Kensington, where she dropped me off at the V&A museum.<br /><br />I didn't pay the requisite £5 to see the <a href="http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/contemporary/hats/index.html">Anthology of Hats</a> exhibition, but I did have a leisurely poke through the permanent Fashion collection, looked through some of the Asian sculptures and carvings, and then wandered around the V&A shop.<br /><br />I lusted after these Japanese print cotton scarves, which you can get from their <a href="http://www.vandashop.com/">online shop</a> if you're willing to fork out the £20:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1fowRJSBrVl9IFsEt3nsWG_EJa9EufQMq-yHnKqZCPXGoQj6o-vagujVtUX7sNWXTmL0JXizhrL8B31W6k-eVnE42HxPC87WrjRcj1TdqyDEyIqCX8hXiVKRXY2niZ1AfDemgP-mSERH9/s1600-h/098394_pop.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317486416403148562" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 291px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1fowRJSBrVl9IFsEt3nsWG_EJa9EufQMq-yHnKqZCPXGoQj6o-vagujVtUX7sNWXTmL0JXizhrL8B31W6k-eVnE42HxPC87WrjRcj1TdqyDEyIqCX8hXiVKRXY2niZ1AfDemgP-mSERH9/s320/098394_pop.jpg" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2LaiKnjyX3QI4M0SC4gazn8u-Arbn3c7lwjMu9pJwA6LJ-CKJVU4CD3berFtl1w6c87fKP63z0YV2PX5ME-Stzdw45ow3fhnCMHB5QweaVLLMx2gPm03KalKdprkKMrGBnsG9wUvYf1v/s1600-h/098401_pop.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317486416770667298" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 291px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2LaiKnjyX3QI4M0SC4gazn8u-Arbn3c7lwjMu9pJwA6LJ-CKJVU4CD3berFtl1w6c87fKP63z0YV2PX5ME-Stzdw45ow3fhnCMHB5QweaVLLMx2gPm03KalKdprkKMrGBnsG9wUvYf1v/s320/098401_pop.jpg" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOr6_4fuDfk7ECDtaHiHySmDbxO-YZlWgPh5jNfIqstYSoubEa6Ovr0uFa5LuSziPkq9bKV3Pf1MIkamFEzjY-cfmh26TfMFAXWukl_Jtq-n8TMTst_M2r0svyY3qcM8cx5P32rsR2xTss/s1600-h/098397_pop.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317486419442777106" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 291px; cursor: pointer; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOr6_4fuDfk7ECDtaHiHySmDbxO-YZlWgPh5jNfIqstYSoubEa6Ovr0uFa5LuSziPkq9bKV3Pf1MIkamFEzjY-cfmh26TfMFAXWukl_Jtq-n8TMTst_M2r0svyY3qcM8cx5P32rsR2xTss/s320/098397_pop.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />So pretty, so light, so perfect for spring, so ... much more than I would be willing to pay for a scarf ...<br /><br />Sigh. :(<br /><br />I was cheered up by these headbands, which, like the scarves, are pretty and expensive -- in fact they were much more expensive than the scarves, their prices being in the range of £40-£80.

They're surprisingly versatile. Under a cardigan and belt, they are reasonably convincing dresses; they add lightness when tucked into a ladylike calf-length tweed skirt; they are super comfy when worn with tracksuit bottoms as sleepwear. But most of all, with a scarf, a pair of jeans and Converses -- I may look like a misguided hipster kid, but damn it, I am comfortable!<br /><br />So when I saw that <a href="http://www.threadless.com/">Threadless</a> was having a sale, with their super cool graphic T-shirts going at US$5, it seemed an opportunity too good to miss.<br /><br />Having dithered and finally settled on three T-shirts from the site, I started wondering how I'd wear my T-shirts.

I'm too sleepy/stressed to make a post with, like, words in it, so here's a bunch of recent outfits.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3444/3273714425_27b759952b.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3444/3273714425_27b759952b.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Black cardigan - Topshop; slinky taupe dress - Zara; grey tights - Tabio; oxfords - River Island<br /></span></div><br />I really liked this outfit; I've been having a thing for pale neutrals recently.

I think it might be the shape of the vest -- it's quite rectangular, isn't it? I wore this with my black cardigan over it; maybe that made it look better (or maybe not).<br /><br />It's actually quite good to take photos of your outfit, if you can be bothered. It allows you to see it as other people will, and it's surprising how different it looks from how it appears in the mirror sometimes.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3663/3291348394_80201a0789.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3663/3291348394_80201a0789.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Blue top worn as dress - G2000; black boyfriend cardigan - H&M; black bead necklace - somewhere in Malaysia; tights - H&M; blue knee socks - Tabio; brown leather knee boots - DUO</span><br /></div><br />I pulled this top out of the closet with the idea of wearing it under my white dress (see below) -- as an experiment, you know -- put the top on, then realised it pretty much worked as a dress. As a <span style="font-style: italic;">short</span> dress, but hey, I was planning to spend most of the day at home trying to work and getting distracted by things on the Internet, so why not?<br /><br />I get such a kick out of finding new ways to wear old things .... That said, later that day I went to Sainsbury's to pick up some groceries, tripped over a pavement and scraped both my knees. So serve me right for trying to do without trousers.

But it is a very nice T-shirt!<br /><br />I initially wore it as a normal sort of T-shirt, tucking it under the skirt, but that somehow did not look as nice as wearing it <span style="font-style: italic;">over</span> the skirt did.

My final year is partly to be blamed for. If I were to let on that I busy myself 24/7 with the design of a complete refinery plant based in Kingston upon Hull, anyone would reject my credibility of having any sense of fashion. So I would spare you the horrendous details and let you on on something more extraordinary. Skirts.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Ever the versatile but sometimes overwhelming boring, I injected some fun by trying out different ways of wearing a vintage skirt I got from Notting Hill Gate. Of course, you have the normal and 'unoriginal' way of wearing skirts - on your hips.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDmjDXMoKSZh6lfCDOc_YVQSmatqjcgS4-jiNnRpV5Y72Mdwcax1Wzx1MydRAE0e1pgtbDxH8ZYL1AokHeVe2AiJwRNNzpQuZoe-Bt4wfbksho3WQfraBfxBNtewlKp-eVYx9DvlX46_W/s1600-h/DSC_0210edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDmjDXMoKSZh6lfCDOc_YVQSmatqjcgS4-jiNnRpV5Y72Mdwcax1Wzx1MydRAE0e1pgtbDxH8ZYL1AokHeVe2AiJwRNNzpQuZoe-Bt4wfbksho3WQfraBfxBNtewlKp-eVYx9DvlX46_W/s400/DSC_0210edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302658093534304834" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpbLeFroT4fPuN3w9zdNXmj9u8oDjAaWVSYHgjoJMrQlsB6G3_-_wwMSX1ZpMy3oIG_f48bCcjnM9YX-jP6FbRwh5MgbwJQ8uQlr8lxC9SjgY5If9qTSwaqMYjX1qqNvl-JzjNl0gdDqLb/s1600-h/DSC_0184edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpbLeFroT4fPuN3w9zdNXmj9u8oDjAaWVSYHgjoJMrQlsB6G3_-_wwMSX1ZpMy3oIG_f48bCcjnM9YX-jP6FbRwh5MgbwJQ8uQlr8lxC9SjgY5If9qTSwaqMYjX1qqNvl-JzjNl0gdDqLb/s400/DSC_0184edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302658715258332450" border="0" /></a>The looks here are for more formal wear but the skirt can also be worn with a white tank with your Alexander McQueen skull scarf paired with your flip flops ala Olsen twins style. Don't forget the wayfrayers.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, I tried them on as a dress. It was slightly harder to so, as you can see from picture #1, the waist band is not elastic, but has a metal clasp to hold the skirt. I was surprised myself, but with a little tightening of the chest, all was well. In fact the tightness was good as that meant the 'skirt dress' would not fall off.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid9Nx1KPn7_4hUL1-iG6msJWGivq_KXAGS8HC3hPU00sVdUGsDudy3MqcjdVmVf9S22oBsnZilWnLd7_8h0ucqkDhqTi1tRKyNl0gxrEqy1zIqMPxpQJNmdfnaK-Xn9X8d3PBnntZy-06Z/s1600-h/DSC_0262edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid9Nx1KPn7_4hUL1-iG6msJWGivq_KXAGS8HC3hPU00sVdUGsDudy3MqcjdVmVf9S22oBsnZilWnLd7_8h0ucqkDhqTi1tRKyNl0gxrEqy1zIqMPxpQJNmdfnaK-Xn9X8d3PBnntZy-06Z/s400/DSC_0262edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302660071169892770" border="0" /></a>Here, I had the ends of the skirt folded in to give a bubble dress look.

And the resulting picture looks more to the side of sophistication. It's something I could defintely wear to a tea party, with pearls of course. (:<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Who would have thought how much versatality a skirt would have? The right skirts can bring you from a business meeting to the club to lazy summer days to places where ladies lunch.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I have yet to wear them out as of yet because the skirt is rather thin and looking at the snow last week, I will not brave the cold with that skirt. Plus, don't forget that final year design I have been working on. Time waits for no woman who wants to dress up when it's crunch time.<br /><br />- Sue<br /></div>Lemms and Hemshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113758097672962284noreply@blogger.com2
