weeks 6 and 7 archive looks: unredmarkable

when i wear an outfit from my archives, i experience one of three feelings. it feels just as right and perfect as it did when it was a new outfit -- happiness and joy revisited. it feels off -- no longer as right and perfect as i remember it feeling when it was a new outfit. or, it feels just fine -- perfectly acceptable but nothing remarkable. until very recently, i used to think that an archive outfit feeling off or just fine meant that i got something wrong about it when it was a new outfit. that the initial feeling of right and perfect was a delusion on my part. now i think the feelings are nothing more than an indication that i have changed as a person (to be expected with the passage of time). the outfit was right and perfect for the person i was when the outfit was new. it just may need some tweaking to be right and perfect for the person i am today. or i can just take a break and go with acceptable until i am inspired to make it right and perfect once again.

i am wearing rundholz dip 123 (hightop sneakers) and rundholz dip 219 (all clothes).

weeks 4 and 5 archive looks: having nothing to do with that upcoming day

i have been craving warmth and solace in the cold and dark (sunless) days that are dominating this winter in my home city. i hold this craving responsible for the pull that i have been feeling towards the brighter coloured winter clothing in my archive wardrobe -- which is really the red/wine coloured winter clothing in my archive wardrobe. it is as if i am looking for the brightness of the clothing to rub off on me -- to cheer me up and give me warmth and comfort. all of which is to say that all the new winter clothing that i bought for this winter, which just happens to be all grey and black, (and all of which i do love) is just waiting patiently in my closet for brighter days.

i am wearing rundholz dip 123 (hightop sneakers), rundholz dip 222 (top, wool pullover and trousers in first photo) and rundholz dip 219 (sweat pullover and trousers in second photo).

week 3 new looks: working on the no "same but different"

i am still working on not getting the same outfit in different colours. i am also trying not to be hard on myself for my failures in this regard. confessions out of the way, here is the black version of the "pencil" outfit that i wore a few weeks back.

i am wearing rundholz dip 224 (except for the hat -- in this case pretty obviously).
