Monochromatic green

I've been really productive this weekend. Not having stepped my foot in a shop since the begining of January meant  I had to do something to add new stuff to my wardrobe. I've been refashioning my jewellery like crazy. The web is full of wonderful ideas and I plan to photograph all that I've refashioned or made so far.

 

 

collar necklace  made by me    pants stigma    belt skondras    cardi worn backwards zara  h shoes massimo dutti

This is one of my as monochromatic as it can be outfits. It's shades of green with a bit of unexpected ...my cardigan worn backwards once again. It's such an easy way to feel I have something new.

This collar necklace is one of the things I made. I just recycled a piece of fabric of my silk dress and I made myself a collar necklace. I made the template, cut a left over faux leather piece to it and glued the fabric. Easier than going out to shop and took my mind away from the political situation in my country,too. It's becoming a sort of therapy. I'm drawn to creativiy as if my life depended on it. It keeps me balanced to know that at the end of the day I will sit down and create something when my country and the world around me as I knew it is falling apart.
Excuse my constant rambling but it's something I've never experienced before.Have a nice week ,everyone!!!

Silk memories

I don't know about you but I prefer to get dressed and then take my photos and a bit later in the day to put it all together in a post. I don't take all the photos of the week in just one session or plan ahead in any way. This way each post is new and fresh to me  and keeps my interest. I don't like writing about older outfits , it feels like cheating although I understand that a busy scedule can easily make someone do it. I also understand that sometimes I get into a creative mood and once I start I want to wear and photograph many outfits. Today's outfit is a few days old and a product of this kind of creative mood.

This dress was made by my aunt back in the beggining of the 80s and I have strong memories of my mother wearing it. She was about the age I'm now. I shortened it a few weeks ago but I did a bit too much shortening.
