About twice a year, we here in Scotland are graced by the presence of the beautiful sun.
People go crazy and take their clothes off and run around the city half-naked.
Never mind if it's barely 13 degrees...
Srsly, sometimes it's hard not to pity these people who have lived a lifetime of sun-deprivation.

Today I'm wearing one of my most cherished skirts from Culte Femme that slightly resembles window curtains with its cascading drapes. Come to think of it, I get a LOT of outfit inspiration from the houseware department. Not only do I like skirts that look better on window frames, I have also have many a times blended in with a couch while sporting a brocade jacket.
I'm also carrying my least favorite bag: the ubiquitous entry-level LV speedy. I loved it to death when I first got it 6 years ago, but now that everyone has it, it has lost its appeal. I think Edinburgh is the only city in the world where I hardly see anyone toting it so I'm not as bothered using it here...because let's face it, it's an extremely practical bag that can hold all the contents of one's life.
Or in my case today: a basket-full of groceries.

and the lace top and bib necklace I wore sometime ago.------
Oh and meet my twin from another mother!Ida and I have the same past: she's from everywhere too,
the same present: both of us are studying a 'serious degree' to avoid being typecast as a mindless shallow person who is into fashion...and to appease the parentals,
and the same future: we will change the world by eliminating one fugly outfit at a time!
She is also frickin hilarious and brutally honest-two qualities that instantly warm me up to a person.
Love how she toughened up her white eyelet minidress with a biker jacket.And that huge-ass gold watch and her door knocker ring are divine!!!
I still can't believe I met her two months before she heads back to Londontown! :o
This is unfortunate since I so rarely meet non-dull people in this city.
a m a z i n g outfits, love them :)
ReplyDeleteI must say, she is like you! I love your skirt! I remember you wore this when you went to a party in the Philippines right? with the pink top? haha I loved it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd only the boring people think that being into fashion is shallow ;) It actually involves intuitive skills and a lot of understanding. hahahaha
Your skirt, no, your entire outfit is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOoh, your skirt is fantastic, and I have yet to meet my twin sister from another mister! ;)
ReplyDeletegreat outfit! the bib necklace is amazing!

Another lovely picture with my lovely city in the background! I've been enjoying the sun too, it's been a nice change! I will admit that not many people in Edinburgh have LV bags (not classy enough) and that we aren't able to keep our clothes on when there's even a hint of sun (not classy enough...) but I don't think we are dull! Char x
ReplyDeleteyour whole outfit looks so cool and intersting!
ReplyDeletescotland looks so pretty :D
ha ha, I'm in the same boat with my work.. at least then, no one can call me a 'stupid' shallow person :-) Love the detailing on your skirt...so pretty!

I wasn't at all offended by your post, I found it quite hilarious actually! I'd more likely characterise the people of Edinburgh as sleezy or classless than dull though! Maybe that's the difference between almost a lifetime here and a few years (how long have you lived here?). I hear you met Sea today, I am so sorry to have missed the mini Edinburgh bloggers meet up! She said you were lovely! Char x
ReplyDeletethe necklace looks kinda cool.
ReplyDeletelove that bib necklace.
ReplyDeletewhat a cool skirt! and i know what you mean, the minute it gets slightly warm after winter i go out severely under dressed

ReplyDeleteOptional-yup it's the same skirt. good job spotting it...and i totally agree with you on your 2nd point. :D
Vintage Tea- to be honest, I go a bit crazy too. I'm one with the scots and remove all my layers at the slightest hint of sunshine!!! haha
Mina- youre hilarious! Im sure your sewing skills are better than you think :)
char- 3 years- so yes, not very long! sea was such a sweetheart...im sure she told you how i practically spent the entire afternoon in the topshop fitting room..haha! this is why i cant shop with people. i take forever to see which size fits the BEST. i still have to meet you, missy!
sansy-no it wasnt planned!hahaha. i was fitting a couple of coats in topshop and i saw Sea and asked her if she was the girl in the blog! I realized after that if she wasnt, she wouldve thought i was a total pyscho. oh well! haha
pablo-haha! oh be quiet...just heard in the news that it's 25C in Madrid. you lucky butt.
