Here I am wearing a beautiful dress from Reserved. Too bad, the dress is worn for the second time, but there is already a hole in it. The difference between vintage clothing and cheap fast fashion clothing is that if a vintage garment has a hole in it, it has been worn over time, but if a fast fashion garment has a hole in it, it indicates poor quality.

RED – number one trend color for fall 2023 – is (was? 🙄) completely excluded from the color palette of my wardrobe.

I once had really beautiful bright red Zara’s tweed blazer, but when I stepped in the office I felt like I’m some kind of target (no one actually said anything..) and I wanted to go back home and get the clothes changed.

I have done so many experiments this summer, now it’s time to pull back a little and get back to serious as the transitional season has arrived.

For some reason I liked this vintage red dress. Wearing red makes me feel like a snake crawling into the wrong skin, but I think this dress is a perfect office wear for coming autumn and even for winter maybe, as it’s 45% wool. A tip 😲💡 – RED dress might be good to wear, when there’s an intention to go and demand something – it’s like an armor that strengthens and gives confidence. So red should belong into every women’s secret weapons arsenal. But I think RED must be worn with dignity (same goes for animal patterns – leopard, tiger, snake).

Here I also have very modest dark brown western style boots, which I found again at Massimo Dutti. I really admire different kind of embroidered cowboy boots, but I was afraid that these would be difficult to stylize. So I stayed to classic, probably for many good years. Also the belt is from Massimo Dutti.

Vintage (over 40 years old) bag, my faithful companion, from Etsy.

Here I’m back at my slats and presenting the retro gems which were already waiting – the vinyl bag of Jackie O (I think) and the bodysuit. The skirt is from Zara, older collection.

Here another experimentation of Chinese dress. I thought that the dress comes in full length like I like, but unfortunately it didn’t went so. I decided, that I will ask my seamstress lady to add lining there + some extension, because I like to wipe all the floors 😎. But I will do it some other time. For those late summer days the dress is okay to wear in original fashion too. The bunny print is really nice, too bad, that I wear fake and the quality is also quite poor and cheap looking, but generally it’s a lovely dress. The belt is from Massimo Dutti and welder’s glasses from Zara, new collection. The photos were in jar within two minutes, because the mosquitoes were very hungry 😬

I haven’t been so scared as hell in a long time.. I planned a photo session with this amazing vintage summer dress by the Keila waterfall and on the suspension bridge there.. but it’s a total nightmare for me when water shows through the planks of the bridge and I hate high places..

But here I wear – Zara snails belt, Zara large snail necklace, Zara ring pack, vintage dress and leather bag from the secret source and Zara wedges.

My partner picked a tarot card a while ago that said he would meet a wolf-woman who would guide him and lead the right way. I thought, who could this mysterious wolf-woman be and where could he meet her.. But then I realized that this woman is me – I have a wolf-dress waiting to be worn and actually the picture resembles the wolf of the tarot cards.

So, how did I get this dress.. I got so excited about ordering the dresses from AliExpress China that I also ordered a dress of the same cut I already have many with a wolf print. Afterwards, I thought that I probably won’t wear it, that maybe I will re-sell. I was afraid that I’m too “grey mouse” to wear such an overly bright dress and that it looks strange on me, like a walking photo wallpaper. But for some reason, this terribly large and bright print looks quite modest. Maybe just not in this light..

I had planned to do this post by the sea, as snails are sea creatures, but as my photographer’s back was hurting again, we looked for an alternative location closer to home.
The snail shell necklace is made from real snails and I got it from a recycling center and the bag is ordered from China. The scarf I wear on my head is Etro vintage. Everything else here – the dress, leather belt and wedges are from Zara.

Of course, I got the bag from my secret re-use place. And the dress is also someone’s old, I got it for 10 euros. So today, this outfit turned out for the Dachshund’s pee tour 😃
