What I Wore: Impulsive Love

Jeans, KappAhl; tank top, H&M; sweater, not sure what brand, I got it at a grocery store in France; booties, Fly London

As I followed my mother around the grocery store on Saturday, complaining about how I don't have enough sweaters and generally acting like a spoiled brat, we came across a sale rack full of sweaters. I am making a point to be a brat more often now.

In all seriousness though, this sweater is amazing! As soon as I have time I'll take better photos of it, but as you can sort of see here, it has this really huge shawl-like collar that goes all the way around. Other pros: PURPLE and COSY. Need I say more?

Do you have impulse buys that have become favourites?

Love,
Rosie

What I Wore: Twin Jeans

Jeans, KappAhl; tank top, Joe Fresh; sweater, 66 North; shoes, Merrell; scarf, thrifted

You may be thinking "Really Rosie? Have you worn anything other than those jeans recently? " And I have! Because I am know the proud owner of two pairs of black skinny jeans from KappAhl. When mummy was in Sweden recently, she brought back this pair. They are about an inch longer than the older pair, and have orange stitching.

Have you ever loved a piece of clothing so much you went back and bought it again?

Love,
Rosie

Art Show Time: It's Abstract! Sort of...

Pencil, marker and collage on drawing paper

We had to do a project in art class on sexuality and how we see ourselves, and since mine was sort of related to fashion, sharing time!

I don't want to go too into detail (everyone knows you aren't supposed to share too much online!), but I wanted to represent how I saw myself (the black and white part) and how other people could see me (the collage). I chose to use colour and put it in the center because the outside is what we see first, but it's also not very life like because it doesn't always show who we really are.

I'm thinking about making this a regular feature, would you find that interesting?

Love,
Rosie

Eclectic Love 6: Over the Moon

 

Galaxy with Studded Belt

I'm fairly certain that this is one of if not the most amazing thing EVER. (Ok, slight exaggeration, modern medicine is pretty great too.) In all honesty though, how many things can you think of that are more awesome than a skirt like this one? 

I have no idea where I would wear it, but if I could get it, I would wear it with all sorts of thing.

What better to complement my non-existent moon boots?

Imagine how amazing it would be with a neon body-con dress underneath!

Need to add flare to an all black outfit? This would be perfect!

How cute would it be with a star patterned top?

Or anything studded?

How would you were this skirt?

Love,

Rosie

What I Wore: Warm and Comforting

Dress, Suzie Sheer; sweater, hand-me-down; leggings, ???; belt, Joe Fresh; healthy skin colour, forgetting to check the white balance

I've pretty much been living in this sweater lately, because it's so warm and comforting, and right now my life really needs some warm and comforting. Half the outfits I wear this sweater with don't include it in the original plan, but it's so darn cold when it's 7 am and it's raining and dark and you have to walk to the bus stop, and I just never end up taking it off. This outfit was meant to include the sweater, and that part worked out splendidly, but the leggings didn't live up to expectations. I think it would have worked better with a pair of thin nylons or some fishnets, the leggings made it feel a bit too covered.

Do you have pieces of clothing that consistently work their way into your outfits despite not being part of the plan?

Love,
Rosie

PS: I'm blaming my absence on caffeine withdrawl. The past week has been plagued with a queasy stomach and an inability to do anything other than watch old episodes of Firefly. I should be back to my usual fully caffeinated but still fairly unreliable self soon.
