Alice In Borderland
Posted: May 26, 2023 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: green, olive culottes, pink, pink loafers, pink teaset blouse Leave a commentI guess it’s the week of titling my posts after pieces of media I’ve never actually watched/listened. Yes, same as the post on Wednesday, I’ve never watched “Alice in Borderland”, I just like its play on “Alice in Wonderland”, and considering my outfit is sort of Alice-inspired, I thought it would be appropriate. It was all built around this top, of course. The puffed sleeves are a little much for me, but when I saw the tea set buttons, I just couldn’t pass it up. For this outfit, I went with the olive culottes and pink loafers to match the embroideries (plus, pink and green are one of my favorite color bombs), but I can definitely see other ways of styling this top to tone down its frou-frou-ness while still letting it shine. Can’t wait!
The Rooster’s Crow

It doesn’t sound very interesting or exciting, but I’m glad that my wardrobe is now consistent enough that I can just throw things together without much thought and end up with a halfway-decent outfit.
1940s Extra
Posted: March 8, 2023 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: beige peter pan collar short-sleeve sweater, brooch, brown, brown lace-up boots, burnt orange wide-leg pants, green, green plaid jacket, orange Leave a commentThis outfit originally started out with just the sweater and the trousers. But then it was colder than I expected, so I added the jacket (riveting stuff, right?) It makes me feel like an extra in Foyle’s War or All Creatures Great and Small, and that’s no bad thing. (Also, I feel like I’ve worn this brooch with this jacket before, but I was too lazy to dig through my archive to find out. Ah well. It was drizzly that day, so I just felt like a watering can brooch was appropriate.)
