Shadowplay

My official photographer, a.k.a. boyfriend, has caught the spring flu from me, meaning photographing is now my and the Gorillapod’s responsibility for the next couple of days. Therefore the strange photos; although it was fun playing with the camera and the sunlight. Frankly, I haven’t worn anything really exciting since Saturday, just some clothes I’ve been able to grasp from my closet during the five minutes I have time each morning to get dressed for work. The red lace-ups have played a major role in my outfits lately and let me tell you, they are really growing on me by every footstep. I’ve also worn the same hairdo since Saturday but tonight these crazy curls will be washed away because I started to feel like some weird hybrid between Jayne Eyre and the characters from Edgar Allan Poe’s work. Then again, that sounds like a pretty cool combination, eh?

It was a Saturday night, I guess it makes it all right

I’m coughing like a madman and my voice is rather raspy but I’ve convinced myself that it just adds a sexy note to my presence. Nothing’s gonna stop me from having a good night tonight, dancing the night away and seeing some good friends. Whom, by the way, should arrive any minute now.
The outfit for the night is somewhat inspired by 80’s (theme for the club tonight)  as well, as I’m wearing a power suit-ish dress that I got in a dress swap from Ranna (she got my Rodebjer dress), vintage lace gloves and a my favorite hat.

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.
