I took a pair of sleeves and made myself a bow. Here we have a vintage blouse that I adopted when my mother wanted to get rid of it, but that I am - lets face it- most likely never going to wear: Unless we procrastinate a bit on everything else I have on the to-do list and tweak this one a little bit. Snip snap off with the sleeves we go! In general (and this is a true generalisation), short sleeves work best for me. So if an item is not being worn often enough shortening its sleeves often helps for me. You  have seen me turn sleeves into pockets before on a dress  and immediately earn plus points (equals wear-points) but if you can't make pockets, make a bow - in this case we will pimp up this blouse to get a pussy bow by making a ribbon from the sleeves. In order for you to tie it properly into a bow around your neck and not just a knot (which could be quite nice as well) you need the ribbon, or tie,  to be at least about 110cm. One could make the ribbons such that they...

October! The month changes and the sun says 'K bye!' and we get Halloween-ish storms in an instant. Not that I am complaining per se; I have big shawls and red wine and berets and turbans to cover my hair with. But here's a throwback to an planned-but-unposted  (applies to 99%of the photos on my memory card since 2016...) day and it's outfit  from summer when I wore a turban in much more sunnier weather: This summer I have been filming a thing that, for the first time in a long time allowed me to have a purpose to wear lots of nice clothing again! Meanwhile, something very strange had happened during the past as I suddenly find a lot of garments in my closet can no longer fit. Or not comfortably at least. But happy to notice this old Trashy Diva-gem of mine still does! The cardigan I've customed myself with iron-on patches, the turban is from Rubylea and the sunglasses broken by now. And you know what? It's not even that long until it's summer again!

Well, I've said it before, but: any lazy hair day or don't-know-what-to-do-with-my-face-day can always be saved by a turban. And some lipstick. This time also wth some sparkly earrings. Or hang-ears, as Dag mistakenly calls them (' häng-öron' , from " örhängen " ; which is Swedish for earrings, "ear-hangs", or 'things hanging from the ears' as you could translate it.) The turban is made by Rubylea, vintage inspired grape studs from Collectif.
