Daily Outfit -- 18th May 2007

[ 18 May 2007 ]

Grr

Today was cold! We decided to go out & get fish & chips for dinner, which involved a walk to… dun dun dunnn… the suburbs! We kitted up accordingly. I ended up looking like Swedish Tank Girl. Okay, I thought so anyway.

Daily outfit

<3 Hat ($3 last year, I bought it to wear at Burning Man but never did)
<3 Blue bindi
<3 Long-sleeved black dress from Laurie Foon
<3 Shanghai t-shirt
<3 Star stockings from Sock Dreams
<3 Black legwarmers from American Apparel
<3 New Rock boots

Aren’t those stockings the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen? I actually had them on a “winter wishlist” on here a long time ago, back when I started the site. WELL. Today I checked the mail to find them in a package from an amazing woman called Liz who is an iCiNG devotee! I am gobsmacked. Talk about restoring my faith in humanity! What a champion! I am soooo happy. Thank you so much Liz! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 !


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  7. cute stockings, and even better story to go along with them. don’t you just love surprises in the mail? i know i do! :)

    i like the bindi, used to wear them all the time when bellydancing, but never just for a daily outfit. i think they are so pretty.

    stay warm!

  11. Oooh you look like you’re gonna scare the locals in that first shot! The pearls really make this for me – a cute little unexpected juxtaposition.

  12. I am hugely impressed with the New Rock boots/legwarmers combination. Mental note to try that one…...

  14. Fun tip for a bindi: I buy the ones that have elongated, swirly shapes, and wear them around my eyes rather than on the forehead. Either at the corner of the eye or under the eye close to the corner. If you get a colour that complements your eye colour, it will really draw attention to your eyes, and it’s original!

  15. Nobody said they loved the hat?

    It’s perfect!

    I love the texture and multicolored yarn. Does it have any silk in the yarn? Just curious…

  16. Love the outfit, I own a cap like that :-)

    Just a note, the bindi is supposed to be worn lower, between your eyebrows.

    but I love Katoo’s tips too !

  17. I’m in love! gah, I keep coming back to it…over the months, I’m just a tad obsessed :)

  18. This has to be the IDEAL outfit! Too bad it kind of requires specific weather to pull it off…
