Yohji Yamamoto FW '85

Marina Yee '99

Wow.

I just purged my blog of, well, me. After linking to someone (hahaha) I suddenly felt really uncomfortable. And I realized this is because I'm really not the type of person to do outfit posts. It's just not me. This is more of a place for me to sort out my thoughts and post things that I like. I don't even like being in pictures. I might regret this later, but for now I feel cleaner. I need to do this to my closet.

...in every way. I would love to do this. The perfect intersection.

PS. Tabi's need to stop haunting me. I gave up on the possibility of getting them so long ago. But still. *Dreamy sigh*

Also,

Salasai Polka Dot Dress

...this dress did NOT hurt. Holy shit. It's me.

Salasai SS 11

Wow. Much thanks to Deanne for introducing me to this New Zealand based designer, Salasai. I haven't been this struck by a new designer in god knows how long. I mentioned in a previous post about living in the past. This collection reminded me that wonderful things are still being created. The comfortable, waist-tie skirts/dresses, the buttoned and denim shirts, the drop crotch. The simplicity and youthfulness have really struck a chord with me. It's all so perfect for spring/summer.

Now that the initial feelings of infatuation are fading (a good thing, btw), I can see a little more clearly. I think I gave them too much credit because it was a new label. I'm realizing that if this were the lookbook of a brand I already loved, I wouldn't have been nearly as impressed. However, this isn't to say it's not still lovely. Many of the pieces were moving because they were things I could relate to personally. Though I do think there's quite some room for improvement, it's that sense of honest comfort that I appreciate.

(Also, it got me to post. That in itself says something.)
