First Time Failures

Have you ever gone to work in an outfit that you were completely unaware of?  That happened to me yesterday.  I literally walked around the office all day in a sheer shirt and lace bralette and didn’t notice.  I think it’s because I don’t edit my clothing decisions if I have to get up early and I’m tired.  I usually just put on the first thing that pops into my head, which is normally a weird outfit that I have to subsequently tone down.  Thank goodness I work at an office that sees sheer shirts and bralettes as fashionable and not, say, completely inappropriate and a firing-worthy offense.  Seems like the perfect place to test-run my latest DIY.

A studded, lacy, black bra.  Because I felt the bralette actually offered way too much coverage (sarcasm….).  I want to pair it with something nauseatingly frilly.  Maybe something like this, if I happened to own this, which I don’t.  But wouldn’t it be awesome if I did?  Also, this is quite far from nauseatingly frilly.  Awesomely frilly perhaps.  Breathtakingly frilly even.

This bit of tattered Cinderella is brought to you by Ess.Laboratory.  I wish I had more info on this design team.  Seems like they’re more artists than clothes designers.

The designers Tatsuyoshi Kawabata (Left) and Hoshika Oshimi (Right) chilling with some “life-size kinetic paper sculpture” versions of their clothes.  I’m not sure how kinetic paper sculptures work, but that’s what these are according to Daylife.  I suddenly want a bustle very badly.  One I can attach to random clothes, so I can be like “you know what this suit jacket needs?  A bustle.  Tada!  And now it is bustled.”  Life should be that simple.  And clothes should always be beautiful enough to be made into life-size kinetic paper sculptures.
