My favourite colour is copper. I found that out quite by chance. If you asked me, "what is your favourite colour?" I would have said, "blue."
Here's how I found out. When the place where I worked wanted to lay off a whole lot of staff, they brought in a "change management" consultant. 5 of us signed up for the workshop. One of the activities was to imagine yourself surrounded by a colour that made you feel warm, secure and alive. And what colour did I see? Copper! I think it's because it so closely resembles a well made cup of coffee. Anyway, funnily enough, not one of us 5 attendees actually got made redundant, but we all left within a year to follow a new path that we had planned out that day in the workshop.
It's not a colour that suits me, but I love it, which is why I didn't mind making up this blouson jacket to match my ugly skirt in it.
I super-burda-ed this time, with belt and buttonhole. I even had some nice wooden bracelets so I could uber-super-burda it but I forgot to put them on.
Now you can see "ugly" skirt on. It's a pencil skirt - I have now officially entered it into the contest. I was going to ask you all to take a vote, but really, when I first saw this fabric I thought it was absolutely hideous.
You just can't top that ... I knew in my hearts of hearts that this was my entry.
This all looks great on you. Your ugly skirt aint a bit ugly and I love the jacket. I also love copper and have a favourite old leather jacket in same. Copper is also the color of baby poo, but don't let that worry you!
ReplyDeleteSuper-burda indeed! So, if you think a fabric is ugly and then make something great with it, does that counterbalance. I guess what I'm asking is, will you wear it?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you turned that fabric into something wearable! Major kudos to you for that feat. The jacket is lovely, and really does a good job of making the skirt look good. (Now I need to go and vote on Pattern Review.)
ReplyDeleteMary Nana it looks great. And all sewn so quickly. I think you have pulled off a stunning oufit
ReplyDeleteYou've turned it into a nice outfit. Well done. :)
ReplyDeleteOh-so-fantastic! Love your great big smile in the first photo. :) Have you worn this out yet? Any feedback from the general public?
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Man, you've been one speedy sewer lately....wanna send some of that mojo over the road? I'm feeling most uninspired at the mo. Am about to post about my new pants but they look crapola in the photos. Bah.
ReplyDeleteAnyway. The outfit is looking great - good luck for the contest!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I can't believe how nice you made that fabric look and I love the whole outfit together. You always look so stylish. Copper is very soothing, isn't it? I have a painting that M. calls my copper painting.

ReplyDeleteI love the skirt with the perfect jacket and...the boots!! Great look!

ReplyDeleteThe relative complexities of women's and men's style
Both men and women could feel the demands of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion often seems a lot easier. Of program, for both sexes, costumes and fashion options may be equally as complex, and there are numerous'trendy'items which could easily become fashion faux pas - who will say they often see people walking around in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's fashion features a few staple goods that can exist eternally - which man is likely to keep an eye out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Choose basic cuts, colours and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.
Why traditional men's style is amazing
The classic man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous kinds for various functions, nevertheless they are all popular in their pursuit of a clever, sharp search for the person. The neat thing about classic style for men is that it is simply elegant efficiently cool. A well-groomed gentleman will almost always appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and it is a testament to the style of such apparel. A suit will be used to work in several occupations because of the professional search it offers to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a match will be utilized to several social functions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary flexibility which allows suits to be worn in virtually all events is what gives it its amazing edge and a permanent place in men's fashion.
Modern movements in traditional men's style
Whilst classic men's styles will never be replaced, it's interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced particular classic clothes back in fashion. The popularity of vintage clothing, particularly, has taken back a wide-variety of common styles into men's closets, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress in a classic yet luxurious way, placing value on appearance and working in a refined approach. This pattern for almost'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is apparent from events such as the'Tweed Run', where men and girls of all ages clothe themselves in especially Victorian-style attire and decide to try the streets on vintage cycles - with many of the men wearing impeccable mustaches! That is only one of many types of proof showing the revival of such styles. There are also numerous sites on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.
In summary, although certain issues with traditional men's style could be cut back as new developments, the fundamental garments that they are based on will never fall out of fashion.
