Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream; red gold and green, red gold and green

It’s pretty much summer outside and I have to wear heavy gear due to a flu that seems to stick like glue (hey, it rhymes!). For some unknown reason, the outfit of today has very autumnish colors; I guess being sick has slowed me down from changing into the spring mode. Maybe I’m just rebeling until the last moment, since spring fashion has never been a true favorite of mine. However, I am craving more light colors into my wardrobe, indicating that some brainwashing has happend while browsing through a bunch of fashion magazines and their spring editorials. Being sick has its upsides too: plenty of free time which you can devote just for the world of fashion.

Now I’m off to enjoying a hot cup of tea and praying for a miracle healing so I can attend Club Vintage’s 80’s night tomorrow. Actually, I’m gonna go no matter what – rebel on!

Welcome back, flannel shirt

Spring flu caught me during the weekend and has forced me to stay at home resting, drinking tea and taking vitamin C like crazy. All I’ve been wearing is this flannel shirt I picked up during the weekend for a bargain price of 3.95€ from a place where I used to get all my flannel shirts back in the early nineties. Circa 1994 all my outfits used to consist of Levi’s 501’s, combat boots and different colored flannel shirts. In my cd player the Cranberries, Nirvana, and the Smashing Pumpkins were played on repeat, in order to learn the lyrics by heart just in case I’d make it to their concert one day. Oh those days!
Thinking about the essence of a flannel shirt, it is actually very comfortable, versatile, and an unisex piece of clothing. Wearing it I don’t have to think about any of the pressures of having a perfect body. Actually, I’m not even wanting to look sexy, I’m just plain old me. I can move and breathe freely, not having to worry about getting dirt on my shirt or getting soaked in the rain: the flannel shirt protects me from the big bad world. If you haven’t heard it yet, just look at fashion icons like Alice Dellal or the Olsen twins as they all know it: grunge is back. And it makes me extremely happy – in the nostalgia kind of way.

Mayday

This three day weekend has kept me so busy that I haven’t been able to post anything in ages. You’d think that it would be a perfect time just to relax but no no, not me. Partying, hanging out with friends and painting a deck at my mom’s place has kept me busy as a bee. On Thursday night we headed to our dear capital city Helsinki for the Vappu festivities (1st of May is a labor day here and an official day off) and since I didn’t have too much time to think about the outfit of the night, I went with an easy all-in-one solution: a grey I American Retro shortsuit.
I figured the shortsuit would be the perfect choice for the evening since on Vappu people tend to dress up in costumes and the students of different student associations wear a variety of overalls. The shortsuit combined the best of both worlds. I had a fun night in the capital city but I still have to say the clubs in my hometown Tampere beat the ones in Helsinki – anytime. And yes, I’m a very picky person when it comes to clubs and music.

Time machine

I’m finally wearing my self-made harem pants the way I wanted to wear them originally: with heels, fitted jacket and a lose t-shirt tucked in the pants. Whilst walking around town today, I did feel some curious eyes burning on me, like I’d have this huge diaper in my pants. I could care less though cause these are way comfy, and the right kind of pants for warm spring days like today (+20 Celcius wohoo!). The background of the picture fits perfectly to theme too, looking like a time machine that’s gonna take me right back to this era.
Enjoy your day!
