Reviving old accessories

Whenever I ask my sister “do you think I look ok in these clothes?”, she often stares at me in astonishment and replies, “You’re overdoing everything! You’re mixing patterns that aren’t meant to go together; your shoes are totally inappropriate for the outfit you’ve chosen and the bag …” (Usually, “.. the baaaaaag …”). Oh, and let’s not forget the speechless expression of total repugnance, which has taught me that an ugly face is worth more than a thousand words.

 And I hate to admit it, but 99% of the times she’s right. She works in a fashion school, which I suppose, gives her some authority when it comes to judging people’s outfits, what’s in and what’s out … Hey, does anybody still use the words “in” and “out”? See?! I can’t even come up with the right terms to describe fashion!

Anyways, in an attempt not to “overdue it”; I’ve been trying to tone it down as much as I could. I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to wear some more “basic” (i.e. “boring”) pieces when I choose to wear some item that stands out a lot. I tend to buy lots of colorful and funny-shaped objects that are almost impossible to match with each other, which is not very profitable.

Mind you, this is only an approach I’m adopting for my working clothes. When I go out, I don’t give a shit and put on whatever I feel like wearing, haha.

So, these are the accessories I’ve been wearing one at a time.

I love this necklace by Vados del Isen, but I've only worn it two or three times.

A sober bag by Puro

A black hair band.

Horses and pink ribbons by AY not dead

I'd never worn this pin before and I've had it for 5 years.

A giant bag by Objeto. I love it but yeah, it's impossible to match.

I loved this belt by Huija when I saw it, but I feel weid wearing it.
