Daily Outfit -- 31st January 2007
[ 1 February 2007 ]
Daily Outfit, 31st January 2007.
(Like the sneak preview of me at my desk?)
Navy blue silk headscarf (from my mother)
Blue-framed sunglasses (given to me by my friend Amanda at Burning Man last year)
Super-cheap t-shirt from generic chainstore
Gold vinyl high-waisted pencil skirt (from my friend Ana)
Black open-toed slingbacks
Three thin metal bracelets, watch from Fossil, ‘Black Onyx’ nailpolish by O.P.I., string of black beads
I’m going for a Parisian theme recently. I think it’s because of the black manicure — I feel that the only people who really carry this off effectively are either the French, goths or emo kids (& I would prefer to feel French). The black takes some getting used to. I haven’t had my nails this colour since I was actually, ahem, goth. (Don’t tell anyone.) At first I did, indeed, feel like Goth Hands McGotherson, but now I like it. I think the way to do is to set it with a lot of gloss & keep it immaculate. Also I think that if my nails were pointed, rather than the square shape that they are, they would definitely be veering into goth territory.
I did a wardrobe clean-out a couple of days ago, & am re-evaluating a whole lot of things I barely wear. Like, for example, this skirt. Previously I never wore it because the top & bottom 5cm of the skirt are unlined, meaning in summer it stuck to me — but I think that with a bit of jiggery-pokery in the petticoat department, I can fix that problem. Seems to be working thus far.
I feel very glamorous. I think it’s the lipstick (M.A.C. Red). Wearing red lipstick more often was one of my style resolutions for the year. I think I’m doing very well.
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

oh the blue & pink!!
a darker blue than you normally sport that is.. loverly..
on another note.. i took your advice from awhile back.. & purchased some special effects hair dye from eBay. by some.. i mean, four different colours! it arrived yesterday & i simply cannot wait to try it out.. now i just have to figure out which colour to use first.
thanks for letting me know how to kick fudge’s arse!
ps. black nails are indeed great. though i like to mix it up with the odd coloured nail. fun times.
Candice — Yay! What colours did you get? As you can see, my hair is fading, I need to re-do it really, though I am thinking about doing the whole lot white with a pink diagonal streak across the front… Hmmm. Decisions, decisions!
oh, do it do it!!
i also love your flickr pics when you had your blonde do!
i used to have black hair with a blonde & pink strip across the front.. i did love it so =)
i got:
atomic pink [oh yeah]
nuclear red
blue haired freak
pimpin purple
i’m gonna wait until my current purple washes out a bit more though, then bleach my strip again..
i’m thinking perhaps the nuclear red.. black lights here i come!
Ooh, sounds cool. Redzilla! I’ve always wanted to do my hair a combination of blue & purple, I’ve seen synthetic dreads in that combo & it looks AMAZING.
Wondering how cheap is the super cheap T-shirt… I am from the place where stated on there so I’d love to have one of those… :P
I love the T-shirt and your sunglasses look fab.
You look like a dolly with the red lips and glasses!
I too have purchased some atomic pink hair dye from Ebay…i am waiting for the weather to get a bit nicer here so i can dye dye dye!

Anne — I bought it for about $20 NZ a year or so ago. I could have a look to see if they’ve still got them, if you like!
Emma — Yay! Will you send me pictures when it’s done?!
Red lippie totally suits you. I can’t carry it off, though I really really want to! :’(
