Daily Outfit, 13th January 2007.

<3 Long woolen cardigan from Ricochet
<3 Olive green tunic-style dress (also from Ricochet)
<3 Patterned stockings
<3 Platform New Rock boots
<3 Pink silk scarf around my neck
<3 Black off-cut piece of cotton on my head

This is a strange outfit for me. I felt like a stylish digital spy or something. The tunic dress is amazing, I love it, but I barely ever wear it. I think because the weight of it is unusual — it’s usually not warm enough in winter but too heavy in summer. Today was one of those disturbingly seasonless days which seem to be occuring more often… so it seemed like a good time to wear it. Usually I wear it with a white shirt underneath — or at least, I used to when I worked in an office — though it looks good over a knit top too. The detailing on the shoulders is beautiful.

The black cotton on my head basically exists to cover my shocking, shocking regrowth. It’s a coarse solution but it works. I haven’t had my roots touched up since AUGUST last year. Amazing. This piece of fabric has done a lot for me over the years! I think I cut up a t-shirt one time & that is all that remains. It was my first experiment with wearing a scarf (or at least a makeshift scarf) on my head, & it kicked off my love affair… I have a whole drawer full, but some I love more than others! Head scarves are indispensable — they’re a great way to add colour to your outfit or disguise a bad hair day.


Love letters & feather headdresses,

  2. Thanks! Good idea. I use Flickr for hosting all my outfit pictures, since there are some great clothing groups on there. Getting feedback on your outfits can be pretty valuable, if you’re brave enough! (Also, most of the girls on Flickr are pretty nice.)

    I started this website on the 16th of December, 2006… it’s just a baby!

  3. You look great Gala. I can never wear hats or head scarves. I always feel like my head looks too big.
