i wore this to do a spot of shopping and errands in town yesterday on my monthly day off.
the leotard is Emma Rea from a brilliant Bessie Head shopping trip in Brisbane a couple of months ago - it is so beautiful and fragile, i've been scared to wear / wash it so far but i felt that the time was right. it is less sheer in reality, but i think with my choice of bottom-half clothing some people in shops mistook me to be on a break from work. i certainly would not be wearing that leotard to work, at least not in this city. the taboo factor would be through the roof.
the clutch is crotcheted Samvara.
below is a more recent addition to my corporate outfit schedule - as previously noted here - for the workplace.. i have found myself becoming more and more uninspired in finding new outfits / ways of layering for work, though i guess being completely surrounded by men (apart from one other woman) in strict work uniform has not aided the matter a great deal.
the photo quality in the following photographs is extremely poor, but i have always been in a hurry each time - which explains the lacking in any sort of better looking, flora-related scenery..also, when in need of mirror shots i much prefer a non-flash / slightly-blurred option over an evident reflected flash equivalent. for the quality of the other bedroom photos i have no excuse.
the image on the left is a side project that i was working on a couple of days ago.
i was hoping to create a fairly simple cuffed-up long sleeve shirt - completely sheer but cut in half diagonally on both the front and back with a change in fabric - one a spotted black soft tulle, the other a plain black sheer material. i tried not to rush it, but the overlocker was misbehaving so that caused a number of negative results..
i culled and rearranged my magazine collection a couple of days ago. i saw a Selby photograph of an area in Alexander Wang's studio(?) a couple of months ago and have been meaning to replicate it ever since. he had stacks of books / magazines carefully laid out on a white bookshelf - there was lots of open space, and an apparent 'cleanliness' to the layout. i try to keep my bookshelf fairly clean and uncluttered like his, but it can be hard.
i have been really appreciating Twin, Bon and The Gentlewoman magazines of late. i usually just go to Borders when i am chasing international magazines - it requires little thinking on my behalf and i nearly always find something new during those visits.
