I’m feeling like what my title says. I find myself jaded and unimpressed by many things, I guess being old does that to you. Who knows? I may shock everyone by wearing colours instead of a black outfit. I’m kidding.

Or am I?

Wearing 3 necklaces on my neck has proved to be a pretty tiring affair after a whole day out. I honestly love loading up on chain necklaces though, I think I might need more.

I’m using a nifty program that makes all your photos look like it came out of a lomography camera. I’m really loving the effects.

Black outfit breakdown:

  • Dress: T by Alexander Wang
  • Shoes: Acne
  • Socks: H&M

Go Fashion Bloggers, Go!

Edited by Debutante Clothing

As more and more print magazines fold, bloggers seem to be growing in professionalism and media legitimacy. When bloggers such as Previously Owned and kaKofonie Of si(gh)lenS can get the scoop on international designers, you know the fashion playing field is being leveled. If bloggers can host great giveaways like Retro Chick’s, I wonder why the FTC needs to play big brother. Fashion Pulse Daily wants to know if you even care. It seems we are becoming the pretty, little websites that could. Yay bloggers!

monoxious_guide_to_wearing_shirt_as_skirt
Today, we’re offering an alternative to wearing your boyfriend shirt. You heard me right, we all know our wardrobe extends far beyond our own cause there’s always nothing to wearrrrr and we all know that boyfriend jeans/blazer/shirts and all the rage this season. It’s time to raid the boyfriend’s wardrobe for this DIY clothes tutorial.

We start of with a simple men’s shirt.

This one’s from Primark [omg cheapppppp!!!] and dare I say I bought a couple to rip up and deconstruct. A little wrinkly I know, it was fresh off from the packaging so yeahhh… let’s proceed.

Excuse the srs face. It’s about 1am when I took this picture. I’m not naked you pervs~!!

We start off with buttoning the shirt at your waist. Obviously it’s not going to start at the collar, I managed to button mine about 2 buttons down, it should probably be the same for you.

After that, we try and form a drape in the skirt so it doesn’t look that boring. Here we will be buttoning the alternate buttonholes to the buttons.

Follow the diagram drawing above and you should be able to get a the first drape going. We’ll now move on to the second drape.

And this is what you should end up with after the buttonholes are in place. So total, just 3 buttons.
Tip: if you have a longer shirt, the drape will be more obvious and thus more interesting when worn.

After that we tie the sleeves together. It also serves as securing the waist so if the buttons accidentally pop, you won’t be baring your booty to the world.

mnx

Hello, earthlings. A friend jokingly commented that I looked like “an alien from outerspace came to earth and won the world wrestling federation championship!” when she saw me in this outfit. I did feel like I could kick some ass in this get-up, though. I am loving the shoulders of this dress, and the stuff I snagged from the H&M Divided Exclusive collection.

Close up of the belt(s) and shoes. So amazingly comfortable.
