Topshop disaster


Add me on Twitter!





dress custom made, fox Almira Sadar, shoes Emporio Armani (close-up)

My friends and I went to see La Bayadère on Friday. I'm not very good with ballet because my "opera deformation" always makes me wish someone would start singing, but it wasn't boring and one of the male dancers looked exactly like one of our high school teachers wearing blue pyjamas. We are still very silly sometimes, so things like that can easily make our evening.

I had this dress custom made by a local seamstress after having tried on a similar one at Topshop. It was one size too small and at least 15 centimeters too short, so upon seeing me in the dressing room my mom remarked that I looked "cheap". This is probably only my millionth little black dress.

Joj, čudovita si na teh fotkah! Vse mi je všeč! Kak si želim ene Almirine lisice.. Druga fotka mi je taak všeč, ko se tak lepo smejiš. Pa obleka je svetovna! Same pohvale, res!

Mir in ljubezen!

Ethical take on the fox fur scarf - I love it! And I agree, Toppers can sometimes be a bit skimpy with the fabric, no?

Sasha b. said...

you can never have enough little black dresses! I like the shoulders on this one.

I'll be interning for a stylist. She does a lot of freelance work but it's usually for magazine shoots.

Charmalade said...

I agree, can't have too many classic pieces! I like that scarf, it's whimsically cute (in an oddly morbid way).

Thanks so much for the comment btw! And haha, yes, those are giant books at my workplace's library. :)

You look Flawless! So chic! I am crazy about Ballet!!! The most beautiful dance in the world! At least for me ;)
I am glad you could make it. I am also glad to see you so beautiful. It is so nice to have clothes costum made once in a while...I never do that, but maybe I should!

karuliine said...

i have shoulder fetish :)my passion is draped shoulders and when i see some, i just want to make myself clear how the pattern for this shoulder could look like. and your dress is just the one what makes me curious! sadly its black and its difficult to see all drapes...but i love the silouhette of this dress!
and this fox-thing - i´d like to sew myself similar too - looks like ordinary scarf, but if you look a little, you can see the trick!
cool outfit!
