week 34 archive looks: not all equal

i adore rundholz dip ... obviously. but among the rundholz dip collections from which i have been lucky enough to acquire pieces over the years, i have my favourites. there are also favourites pieces. not always coming from favourite collections. wearing one of my favourite pieces here -- the dress. (it also happens to be one of my earliest purchases.)

i am wearing rundholz dip 115 (dress), rundholz dip 120 (top, net dress, hoodie and trousers), rundholz mainline 121 (shoes) and rundholz dip 123 (high top sneakers).

week 34 new looks: 5 seconds

sometimes a new outfit only lasts about 5 seconds on my body before i manage to get food or drink on it. (usually yogourt, chocolate, jam, blackberries or some food with oil in it -- pasta with tomato sauce or dressed salad. occasionally, i spill tea.) usually, the lighter in colour the outfit is, the greater the chances of this happening -- perhaps this is why i have come to prefer dark coloured clothing. this week, though, it was the darker coloured clothing that became magnets for misfortune. a dark green jumper was one of this week's victims. some black clothing were this week's other victims -- although they weren't subjected to a food or drink attack, rather they were caught in a downpour (the clothing survived, but the shoes that i was wearing may not make it -- they are still being cared for). it really was not such a good week for my wardrobe.

week 32 new looks: just sigh

i know this is completely out of the blue (sorry!), but i really love rundholz dip. staying away from it this spring/summer season until very recently made this very apparent for me. i have been trying to figure out what it is about the line that i find so attractive. so far, all i have been able to come up with is what i see as the line's focus on design of clothes. not that the other two lines don't showcase design, but they seem to couple design with patterns and prints that follow some story line. i think the focus on design really appeals to me. it makes it easier to use personal styling to tell a story. and the same clothes can tell different stories. when prints/patterns are used on clothes to tell a story, while it is not impossible, it is harder to have those clothes tell a different story than those emblazoned on them. anyways, still thinking about this. but, suffice it to say that, for the upcoming autumn/winter season, i will be back to mostly (if not all) rundholz dip.

week 31 new looks: bright lights one at a time

for a few minutes, i thought that i could put on an outfit of mixed colours. an orange top, red pants and an aqua jacket. or even just an orange romper and an aqua jacket -- two colours as opposed to three. but i could not. i felt so uncomfortable. so not me. so, yep, i am definitely a monochromatic dresser.
