좋은 친구를 가진 사람들은 세상에서 가장 행복한 사람들이다.
(People with good friends are the happiest people in the world.)
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I used to hate black clothes. I blame
it on the Spanish telenovelas that proliferated on Macedonian TV channels
throughout the 90s and the gorgeous actresses in those shows who always wore
bright colors and reserved black mostly for funerals.
That said, I bought my first pair of black jeans in high
school. For me that act was supposed to be a revolutionary step towards
darkening my closet. Yet, even after all these years, bright colors and crisp
whites still stomp everything in my closet.
Lately though, I have developed an ambition for obtaining
more and more dark pieces, and although I somewhat agree with Anna Wintour (
watch 73
Q’s with Anna Wintour if you don’t know what I mean) that there is
nothing more boring than a head-to-toe black outfit, I still love it when some
girls manage to dress all black and look spectacular. That is my goal. Now all
I have to do is shop more strategically instead of running after bright colors
like a kid after candy.
As I previously mentioned in
THIS
post, I had originally intended to buy black fabric to make the coat I am seen
wearing here, yet in the last minute I drifted away from black and bought dark
sprinkled gray. From the leftover fabric, I made this skirt, and used three
metal zippers I had lying around with the intent to give it some pizzazz. And I
am sure you remember this white shirt I made a while back and first posted
about it
HERE.
The necklace is a gift from a hometown friend who had it
wrapped in adorable wrapping paper with Santa Claus and handed it to me saying,
“Happy New Year” on Valentines day. Best mixed-holidays gift ever.
(She also bought me panda socks because she
knows I love cute socks! Instagram
proof.) On the other hand, another friend who took these photos sacrificed the only day she had to sleep-in that week - last Sunday morning - in order to spend some time with me before I left back for the capital.
Girls, I know you will be reading this. Love you!
I
hope you enjoyed these photos and have a lovely weekend!
ASPIRE
HIGHER!
Hugs,
Dilek
