(no subject)
I wanted to write an entry for the heck of it. I thought that I didn't update this journal enough. But then, I didn't know what to write about! So I'm going to do a fall 2009 wishlist post...
Frankly, when I started to prepare this entry, I realized that there wasn't much on my wishlist. In fact, apart from some general ideas of what I want, I had nothing specific. I think the fact that I have no income at the moment keeps me from dreaming a bit too much. It might be better this way in fact.
Some quick browsing quickly made me change my mind though. I must say though, I have grown insanely picky and I am starting to prefer simple pieces over complicated ones. I think my ideal closet would be 75% basics and 25% fancy items.
Anyway I have made a collage, and I think I pretty much suck at these! I never know how to place the pictures. I would suck at scrapbooking, I tell you.
Clockwise from top left...
Rompers (romper from Forever21): I have no idea if rompers are still going to be in next summer, but I know I still want one. I haven't been able to acquire the perfect one this summer, so I'm really sad about it. This one seems perfect in picture, but who knows about the fit and texture...
Skirts (skirt from H&M): Although I liked this one when I first saw it, I don't want just this one in particular... I just want more poofy-ish skirts in colours other than black. Grey, cream, maybe navy, would be interesting.
Boyfriend shirt (shirt from BlueNotes): Again, not this one necessarily. I lack this very basic piece that I've been longing for these past few weeks! My boyfriend doesn't even have a white shirt for me to steal.
Quirky accessories (glasses necklace from Zipia): I have started liking necklaces again, but I have only one. It's an old one that I got as a gift three years ago from my best friends. I had stopped wearing it for a while, and started again recently, after I've changed the chain to a longer one. I want more of them, whether with simple dangling charms or funky pendants, like this one from Zipia.
Oversized sweaters (sweater from H&M): I love love oversized sweaters, but not all of them fit me right. :(
Rings from (stackable rings from Forever21(: I mentioned before that I was trying to start a ring collection. These seem cool. I like the feather one most.
Boots and booties (Abaeté for Payless Antoine bootie from Payless ShoeSource): While I'm not much of a shoe girl, I really really love boots and booties. Right now, I really want over-the-knee boots (not pictured). I tried some really nice suede ones from Zara, I love them!! Park and Cube has them. Those Payless booties would be so hot for a night out (who am I kidding, I never have nights out!), but I have never seen those designer collections at Canadian stores... -_-
Chain necklace (necklace from Forever21): Oh, I like draped chain necklaces too hehe. Although, I have difficulty wearing them properly most of the time due to my cleavage... -_-
Studded ring from Ardene: I can't find the picture, but H&M had a very similar one, but it had one row. I actually prefer that one.
High rise jeans (jeans from Urban Outfitters): I really dislike low rise jeans, they just don't flatter my body type. Yet, that's all I have! I want some with higher rise, around 9" rise and up. But I really dislike the 'high-waisted panel' type of pants that was really popular a year or two ago.
Leather jacket (jacket from Rick Owens): Real or faux, I want a nice classic model. I have a faux one right now but I don't like it that much. In my wildest dreams, I would own this Rick Owens one...
Oversized cardigans (cardigan from Zipia): I just love the oversized fit!
Basics, embellished or not (sequin pocket tee from Forever21): I need more well-fitting basics... Most of the ones I have are too long, too short, too sheer, the neck is too tight, etc.
I also need 100 den black tights, and a new woolen coat. The current one I have is babydoll-style a bit too tight and childish. I have my eyes set on this Zara coat, I just hope it doesn't sell out until I can get it!
To finish this entry, a recent outfit from last week...
Key point is the white skirt from French Connection. I've had it for over a year and this was my first time wearing it. I had actually put it up on eBay, for about 5 minutes! I just didn't know what to wear with it, then I thought it was probably to stick to something simple. I'm glad I didn't go through with the auction haha...
Also, I wear those boots way too much. :( I need alternatives!
