... I think those photos above are probably as close and personal to me as it can ever get. They were basically a combination of lots of random things, putting together by spontaneous impose and pictured with the typical Brooklyn backdrop, like graffiti on a brick wall next to a cute little green door. I was thinking on my way to work how to write a post that can bring out certain profound meanings to them as I saw potential to expand topic of this post beyond the style. But, then, quickly, I came to realize that there were nothing more profound than what they were. It was simply a morning after rain, in which I felt a need to layer in different shades of black. Since the time was limited, the hair was pulled up into a bun as usual and the flat tuxedo shoes were worn for easy walking. I guess the only thing that was a little extra was the fact I put on a little red lipstick and blush, which I do not usually do during the daytime. So, never mind any sorts of meanings or intentions... I love this look and the photos because they simply were the best example of who I am: random, haphazard, contradictory and forever standing outside the door of the norm, though, from time to time, I do get attempted to squeeze one or two peeks into the normality ...

I was wearing the sparking headband from UnoCosa, Polo long sleeve shirt from Juicy Couture, sample tube black dress with white piping and ruffle trim (good thing about getting hands on first sample that never made to production is that you get to be the only one who wear those pieces :-), the high-wasted cropped polyester Kimono pants with cuffs and black tuxedo shoes. To finish the look, I added the white woven wide belt with hook and eye closure from Chinese Laundry. The bag is city tote from Foley + Corinna.
