NOT DEAD! The dustpan and broom saved a life this week. If you are reading this and think I am an OCD cleaning freak or something please read my previous post. This week has been very mixed and very disorientating. I've found myself ending up quite lost with no sort of focus. A general vagueness I guess,or as a friend of mine called it 'megness', but overall its made things quite confusing. Nothing specific but just a range of different things. What I do know though is that I was super excited when I finally discovered a book shop that sells DIY Couture, http://www.diy-couture.co.uk/home.html. A book filled with instructions for self made clothing gracing its pages. I saw it there on the shelf in all its glory and the DIY list has now extended to great lengths and I think I am set until the day I die. But thats okay! Why? Because even when I am a grandma I will still be spending my time knitting together awesome things for my grandchildren, who, although will find them old fashioned and itchy, will be wearing them for me all the same, forcing a smile on their face to make me happy. And that my friends is what life is all about.
I would also like to use my 'daziness' this week as an excuse for the crap photography quality which I didn't really take notice of until now.
It is also council cleanup this weekend in tha hood so now is when my underlying scavenger comes into play as I forage through the piles of unloved junk. One year I hit the jackpot and found an old Longchamp bag and a trashed pair of skis which me and my friend then decorated to look terribly garish and tacky. Just the way good things are.
Quick outfit post as well.
Again the Paper Wings skirt making an appearance. At first I was inspired by this acid pink theme which I thought was reflected perfectly in my Isabel Marant pink netted top but then I started layering more things on and felt more comfortable in this. Acid pink will be an inspiration for another day.
I love my mums Marni shoes with the giant buckles on them. They are a sort of ballet flat boot buckle combo which I really appreciate and are also extremely comfortable which only adds to the countless positives they provide. The cardigan is Seed and the purse is thrifted.
