Blood and Roses

I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses, blood and roses.

-- The Smithereens "Blood and Roses"

NOTES

    Happy Halloween, mes amis! These days I really haven't the time to do a Halloween outfit shoot, so I've decided to post an old look from my previous blog on wretch.cc (which has closed down last year). Apologies if some of the photos are not so well-focussed, that's a main problem with shooting with a self-timer. Well, it's illegal to toast with a cup of blood, so let's settle on the next best thing instead -- rich red wine!

    萬聖節快樂啊～大家！！因為最近實在是沒有時間拍萬聖節裝扮，於是決定偷懶把之前無名網誌的萬聖節穿搭搬過來 :P （然後抱歉，因為是自拍常常會沒對到焦 orz） 欸～因為喝鮮血是犯法的，我們還是將就以下～喝紅酒就好 XDD

Asymmetry

Lavender dreams dilly, dilly lavender true
When you miss me dilly dilly, I did miss you.

-- Marillion "Lavender"

NOTES

    During the summer, I was inexplicably obssessed with asymmetric designs, one-shoulder dresses in particular. At the time I was searching for a simple white bridesmaid dress and came across this one-piece by Jessica Wright at ASOS' summer sale. The design is simple -- no lace or frills, yet sufficiently chic and romantic with ruched details and glitter material.

    今年夏天莫名的迷上了不對稱設計，尤其是單肩洋裝 >///<  剛好當時在物色簡單的白色伴娘洋裝，在 ASOS 的夏季特價中入手了了這件 Jessica Wright 的單肩洋裝。非常簡單的設計 -- 沒有複雜的蕾絲或花邊，卻因為俐落的單肩剪裁顯得時尚，同時因為金蔥的布料跟下半身抓皺的垂墜設計而在俐落中增添了些許浪漫。

Prints and Pants

    It's been awhile since I last wrote a "Style Guide" post. I always felt like I had too many ideas and too little time, and in the end, a lot of those ideas remained just ideas. Well, last weekend I managed to shoot these outfits in record time, just in time for the longer sleeves and richer hues of fall.

    已經有一陣子沒寫『穿搭教學文』了。總覺得想寫的很多可是時間太少，於是很多想法就終究只是想法而已  >__<   不過上個週末終於超快速的拍完這次的穿搭（好啦～雖然沒很多 XD），剛好趕上現在微涼的天氣穿上秋季的長袖及濃烈色彩。

    I thought of writing this when I saw a post on BBS mentioning the comeback of print shirts and flare pants. I remembered a retro geometric print shirt from Romwe still stashed away deep in my wardrobe, and a pair of flare shorts that at least had seen some daylight in its numbered days. So I decided to write about these two items that aren't necessarily the easiest to master.

    其實這次寫文是因為之前看es版有一篇閒聊文提到今年又流行起來的阿盃花襯衫跟寬褲。然後我就突然想起在我的衣櫥深處默默流淚的 Romwe 幾何印花襯衫跟稍微有見過陽光的淘寶寬短褲。於是決定來寫這兩樣今年大夯卻不一定好駕馭的難搞單品。

    I bought these flare shorts ages ago because of the colour -- a warm, dusty brown with pink undertones. The warm, subtle hue is perfect for pairing with darker fall colours, but the awkward length is not really hobbit-friendly.

    很久以前入手了這件短版寬褲，完全是為了那個帶有煙燻粉色調的暖棕色。這個暖和低調的色澤，很適合搭配秋冬較深的色彩。只不過這尷尬的接近五分褲的長度，對於哈比人的我來說也是一種困擾 orz

    The next item is a very retro-ish print shirt from Romwe, it is even padded -- so 60's! I guess I was in a vintage-y state of mind when I clicked on the shopping cart. After this shoot, I realized it is not really a very difficult print after all  ; )

    接下來的單品是個 60 年代風的阿盃印花襯衫，還自帶墊肩真是有夠復古 XDD  我想那天大概是被什麼古著風打昏才會失手按下購物車的吧！不過拍完照以後又覺得，其實這件也沒有想像的那麼難搭啦  ; )
