muhahaha...today's acquisitions

I don't remember the last time I've been so exited about something I bought...:

1. This huge pink bow from Dulapul Bunicii , which is resting for the moment on my bf's plush Cartman puppet :D:D (you should really see this image :P) , until I incorporate it in a smart outfit .









2. The colourful vintage shirt/summer jacket, which I just ordered 10 minutes ago . I can't wait for its arrival :D:D, my heart just started calming down...


What do you think about these ?

chicks and checks

don't you just love this cardi? I fell in love with it the minute I saw it, at a local sort of a thrift store... it just seems to go with everything... it had some additional white ribbons and rhinestones around the neck , but I removed them , as I considered the glossy buttons to be enough of a glam element. I put the ribbon to a better use :D:D

Chestplate: made by me ( as illustrated here - more outfits including it here & here )
T-shirt: plain black tee
Skirt: I've had since childhood

boyfriend hat

this outfit has been constructed around this hat that my bf got in Budapest a while ago, in terms of colour that is . the arm is that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; he also has one of the communist party, but that is too much a socio-political statement for this blog :D.plus it's not that shiny:)))))

surprised enough:D:D?

soooo...this is what I've been "cooking" lately...I and my bf are 5 months pregnant :D:D:D...<>

(carl, if you're reading this...don't faint just yet :P )


everybody's been assuring us that we'll be hip parents (//blush), so I have to also live up to these expectations fashion-wise :D, but it's up to you to decide on whether I pull this off graciously or not;) . the process is significantly encumbered by the fact that pregnancy clothing shops in Bucharest (and obviously Romania) are quite defective of statement items. all I could find is clothing for +50 , lacking imagination expecting housewives . I don't want anybody who has actually bought such items to feel offended in any way, it's excusable since there's barely anything to choose from . I just won't spend a dime on any of these products. furthermore, maternity clothing here is way more expensive than the online counterpart. hence, i decided to make do with what I already own ( I'm lucky that I have a lot of loose fitting garments) , and make whatever more I need myself...there's something ongoing in this direction, but I will reveal it once it is ready :D.

I'm following up on this post with several outfit versions; I was forced to rummage my wardrobe since the baby is quite expansive :D:D, and doesn't really agree to part of my clothes' sizes :D:D:D. I have so many items I'm going to miss till next year, but I did rediscover some forgotten ones....oh, well, that's that :D


Composition:
Jean shirt: Vila Denim Engineered (picked up years ago from a Mini Prix store)
Sheer cardigan: Stefanel
Tights: H&M (from mum)
Boots: Burberry
Scarf: random
Beanie: Motor

browsing through older pictures, selecting which would be post-worthy, I just found these, taken on the way to a vintage fair last fall.the dress code was 'all black' if I remember correctly, but I can't seem to ever comply with such requirements :D























Composition:
Shirt: plain white shirt:D
Jacket: PNK Casual (from DadaModa)
Riding pants: vintage Versace (handmedown from mum)
Boots:Formenterra
Bag : THE Elvis bag :D ( from Madame Tussaud's giftshop in NY)
Earrings: handmedown from grandma -- the pictures do not do them justice, they are really really really beautiful ;)
Scarf: Moa
