TIE DYE KIMONO, DIY
I C RT THRU U TANK SINGLET, MYVL
MOTOR CITY SHORTS, UNIF
RAZE PLATFORM BOOTS, Y.R.U

The kimono thing is something I made all by myself, no pattern and no sewing knowledge whatsoever! The fabric was already tie dyed and one day (added to my very very very long to-do-one-day list) I'd like to try replicate this acid looking tie dye effect with other colours like acid green or light blue, and make more kimonos but maybe ankle length.

The lamest thing about living in New Zealand is that our seasons are opposite to pretty much the rest of the world. I've started this new strategy of buying my summer clothes now, even though its the middle of winter over here. Otherwise everything I like sells out by the time I'm ready for it. I almost missed out on these Motor City shorts by UNIF, I had to scour the internet for hoooours until I found an online store that had one left in my size. They are AHHHHMAZING. and the quality is soooo good. I can not wait another 4months until summer to wear thesm so I did the tights underneath thing. I don't really like wearing super short shorts with tights though - I dunno, it always makes me feel like a prossy. But when I see others wear that combo I don't think they look like prostitutes, weird. Can't wait for summer!

FUZZY SWEATER, THRIFT STORE
TARTAN KILT, THE SCOTLAND KILT COMPANY
PLATFORM CREEPERS, DEMONIA

Holy damn, this is the palest I've ever been in my whole life. I worked all summer so my skin didn't get to build a tan and now that it's winter over here I'm vanishing! I really love this fuzzy sweater it feels sooo nice against my skin and how perfect is this kilt?! I found it via Thelma Romu. I looove those two belt buckle style things on the side and it comes with one of those giant kilt safety pins too but I forgot to put it on.

SHIRT, THRIFT STORE
VINTAGE SLAYER CONCERT TEE, THRIFT STORE
BLAZER, THRIFT STORE
SPIKE LEGGINGS, EBAY
PLATFORM CREEPERS, DEMONIA

This is a new "work appropriate" outfit I conjured up the other day. I love how blazers can make a vintage tee suddenly ok for work. I added the grey collared shirt underneath because the tee wasn't long enough to pass my crotch area and maybe it's just me but I feel really naked when that happens haha. But I love how well it goes together!

VELVET BUTTERFLY TOP, THRIFT STORE
VEGAN CROC SHORTS, BAD VIBES // TUNNEL VISION
RAZE PLATFORM BOOTS, Y.R.U

This velvet cropped top is my absolute best thrift find ever! The butterflies and botanical prints remind me of those scientific drawings you see in museums. I've been searching for the longest time to find an old book of those drawings and stick them up all over my walls. As I'm writing this I'm realizing I could probably just find some online but it wouldn't be the same - it's the 'finding' part of thrifting that makes things special :)
