Fringe Festival

by cecylia on April 25, 2012

Hello! Recently I’ve been so busy with work I’ve been neglecting the brisk germination of my hair. It got so annoyingly long that I had to pin it back for this runway show, where people all looked at me funny. So after a few weeks of dreading to gaze into the mirror, I finally put my Repetto-clad foot down, ‘Off with the hair!”

I’ve had this Gianfranco Ferre bag for a while now. An oldie, but a goodie. It was brand new, at an op-shop, waiting for me to adopt it. Perfect size for our SLR. The front pockets store my phone, a pen, and business cards. What more does a girl need? I teamed this romantic blouse with the thrifted skirt to keep the 1910′s theme going. Wearable art on hanger. Cubism on checkers.

A dear friend of mine has had an asymmetric haircut since the first day I met her, but never did I think I would end up with one. I met up with fellow fashion bloggers on the night of the hairchop, and a few of them toyed with the idea that I should just shave off one half of my head, so that it will serve a stark contrast to my usual ladylike ensembles. It took 26 years for me to even have a bob, so I can’t see that happening any time soon. But one thing I have learnt in life, is ‘Never say Never’. So, what do you think of this do? Yay or nay?

Where: In a mysterious alley way

Wear: Thrifted blouse, skirt, belt, Georg Jensen rings (available here and here), Gianfranco Ferre bag, Repetto X Comme des Garcons flats
