Little silky riding hood

Comments Off

September 11th, 2010

This hooded scarf is called a Bashlyk. A Bashlyk is a traditional Iranian, Turkic and Cossack cone-shaped headdress hood; usually made out of leather, felt or wool. It is originally an ancient round topped felt bonnet with lappets for wrapping around the neck. This one is however made out of water-resistant silk, and is designed by The White Baron. I tried to glam it down a bit, and put my creative mind to work with the purpose of making it casually chic. I already know it would give a glamorous evening look an extra umph, but incorporating it into a daily outfit was rather tricky. I don't have a lot of silky items in my closet, so this became quite a challenge. I ended up mixing it with knits and lace details, as well as these new wedged booties. I kind of felt like a modern "little red riding hood"; 2010 silky edition.

I'm wearing The White Baron Balshlyk, thrifted lace top, H&M knitted cardigan, Cubus tights, Stradivarius skirt and DNA wedged booties.

Hood Tank

cgeo03

Got this dress from the girls at Schwing Schwing. Very cool. I think it will be a good piece for fall/winter.
Myeah, if you think you've seen it before, it's because it is very similar to the hood tank by complex geometries.

A messy week

As you may know, I decided to challenge myself this week by incorporating a flannel shirt into a minimum of five outfits. I thought I’d post all of them today, so that I’d get a better view of what I’ve been doing.
There’s no random order here. This is my favorite of the five. It was probably because of the white dress underneath, and the general relaxed feeling I had when wearing it. It’s also the pictures I was the most satisfied with. The sun was out, it wasn’t too cold and I used the cat as accessories. In a non-violent and very animal-friendly kind of way, that is.
My second favorite is this one. I love the combination of flannel and velvet, paired with a leathery jacket and booties. Though it was freezing this day, the velvet kept me quite warm.
The pictures I got most feedback on is the one that looked the coldest. Of course it was cold, it is after all winter – but my intention was not to be provocative, it was merely a choice of clothing that felt comfortable for a day inside. I prefer taking the pictures outside, because I live in the smallest apartment – and the lighting is much better. However, it is a split third place among the five.
The other half of my third favorite, is this one. I love dresses, and as the sun came out and gave me the most beautiful lighting, the colors were stronger than in any of the other pictures.
The worst. yes the worst, is this one. I was not happy with the result, at all. I love my hat, but I really don’t like jeans. At least I tried it, that’s all I have to say on that matter. Fifth place, if not sixth :p
