made for walking

[fahye]

I wasted a lot of time on fashion blogs yesterday, and it reminded me that I have been lax when it comes to making wardrobe posts. But I want to see more from you guys! Because I am nosy! So: what are you wearing today? Photos or drawings!

Here's me:









+ black singlet top from Cotton On
+ red tutu skirt stolen from _leareth
+ belt pilfered from my childhood dress-up box; was probably my grandmother's
+ black military jacket from Valleygirl
+ gold cuff and red glass bracelet from stalls at Glebe Markets
+ angel wings necklace was a gift from ryokophoenix
+ dark red boots from Goodwill store in San Francisco
+ hat from god knows where

YOUR TURN.

Considerably less fashionable

This skirt is... six years old? Mum made it for me, back when peasant fashion was the thing. I want ANOTHER ONE, but she won't make my clothes anymore :(

That shirt! I miss that shirt. I take it it's Casual Friday?

Re: Considerably less fashionable

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

It is indeed Casual Friday!

I love my shirt :D

[lilith-lessfair.livejournal.com]

Um, yeah, I've just returned home from rehearsal and am wearing a leotard, tights and a tracksuit to cover.

You do not want to see that.

But I must say that I like the skirt very much (excellent color) and your jacket and hat are marvelous. And the bracelets too.

Well done!

The skirt is one of my favourite items of clothing, and I got it for free during someone else's wardrobe cleanout! This pleases me :)

[sainfoin-fields.livejournal.com]

That outfit is ridic fab. And my roommate says you're cute.

I am a bit limited in my clothing choices right now because it's 40 C and I am not a hot-weather-dresser, so this is what I threw on.

(skirt hits mid-calf)

plus black flip-flops.

+34500 indie points for you! And despite my (weakening) personal bias against pink, I like the pattern of that skirt.

[sainfoin-fields.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, indie points emphatically not sought. From the time I was 17-24, 95% of my shirts were of possibly defunct local bands. I decided to dress like an adult, though, and donated most of my favorites to my mom for her to make me a t-shirt quilt memorializing my ~scene~ years.

Yee! All so amazing *_* I drew an outfit picture yesterday but I haven't got a scanner. :(

I'm trying to decide if I can wear this to the Opera House tonight or if I should tone things down a bit in the direction of elegance.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

We-ell, I've been to the opera in jeans and a wifebeater so I can't counsel you. But if I were going to counsel you, I would say yes, because the median age of opera-attenders is death minus 2.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

This is Verdi's Requiem as opposed to actual honest-to-god opera, so hopefully the average age of the audience will be, er, closer to death minus 10?

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Death minus 10 might still mean you'll be more comfortable a little closer to the society banker end of the boring<>interesting spectrum?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

True. I will ruminate!

I just had a lecture on the ethics of IVF and now I'm reading about The Physiology Of Intercourse. This is make-them-paranoid-about-infertility week!

[lo0o0ony-lauren.livejournal.com]

I had a badass outfit on today but now it is 1am and I am wearing my big jumper instead. :( I can do you a picture of that, I guess, if it holds any interest.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I am annoyed at the futility of posting a request like this at the beginning of the AUSTRALIAN day. Sigh. Maybe post a picture of whatever tomorrow's outfit is?

THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO, OTHER PEOPLE READING THIS. Post in the morning. I'll wait.

[lo0o0ony-lauren.livejournal.com]

So I FINALLY REMEMBERED TO DO THIS. Ha ha ha oh dear.





No pictures of leggings and shoes because um er I was running late and I am not very good at taking pictures of my general self. OH WELL.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

JACKET ENVY *_*

[lo0o0ony-lauren.livejournal.com]

It's new and I love it and it was DIRT CHEAP. £3, second hand. Two sizes too big for me, but ruffled in a way that means I get away with it and I was just like, oh whatever, be mine.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Dirt cheap and secondhand is the best!

[deutscheami.livejournal.com]

:( I wish I had outfit-fu. My style tends to run on a flow chart that goes something like IS IT CLEAN-->IF YES, WEAR-->OK I NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO GO WITH THIS-->OK HOW ABOUT THOSE DANGLY GOLD EARRINGS YOU WEAR EVERY DAY-->IF YES, OUTFIT!!

Today I wore a pair of blue jeans, lace-up light brown leather and suede tennis shoes, a brown linen blouse, and the mentioned dangly gold earrings that are pretty much just a loop of wire with tiny golden beads strung on.

Right now, I'm wearing a pair of running shorts and a tank top, so, uhhh, no photo.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

My outfit-fu has been developed over a long period of a) staring at people on the street, b) reading an unwise number of fashion blogs, and c) getting very bored and spending evenings experimenting with garments I previously wouldn't have thought to put together.

Jewellery is another matter. I wish I had another HEAD so that I could give all of my jewellery the airtime it deserves.

No one needs to see my work uniform. There's a smock involved. *ominous chord*

[fahye.livejournal.com]

:O

Well now I *DO* need to see it.

[shati.livejournal.com]

Alas for you, I have just changed into pajamas. *smug*

[fahye.livejournal.com]

There is always tomorrow! I made this post in the knowledge that most of my flist would be pyjama-ing. TOMORROW.

[mercuriazs.livejournal.com]

You are adorable! I love the purple on the belt.

Here is what I am wearing AS WE TYPE. (http://mercuriazs.livejournal.com/160366.html)

[toujin1.livejournal.com]

Nyan! Hehe, no photos from me for now, but I wanted to say sorry for running out on you guys on Friday. It took my bus AGES to get me home! Anyway, I hope we get to meet up before you go back to Canberra!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I don't have much free time before I go back to Canberra for the hols, BUT I'm only going there for two weeks, then I'll be back in Sydney and in need of socialisation to distract from my frantic study :D We should definitely meet up.

[toujin1.livejournal.com]

Sounds good! I need someone to raid King Street with me ^^V

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I am excellently located for that :) What do you need to raid it for?

[toujin1.livejournal.com]

I need to check the prices of paintbrushes at the art store, then I need to drool over some dresses I've been keeping half an eyeball on. Oh, and the bookshops need to be visited as well! I love Newtown!
