Tablecloth Dress

The monsoon season started or something... I wanted to take some pictures of what I wore yesterday, but you know those rainstorms when it's literally pouring, and from every possible direction? Yep, I was caught up in one of those and was soaked to the skin. Brrr!

Anyway, the great thing about clothes - I can always wear that outfit some other time. 

Once it's all dry. :)

The same kind of rainstorm hit today, but luckily I was still at work and rushed out immediately after to take these photos while the weather cooperated.

It makes me smile to see the huge dots with the tablecloth-like dress. :)

In a recent blogpost Pau over at Titine and Totoche wrote about who women dress for - themselves, other women or men? In this case I hope every weather-beaten pedestrian with a keen eye for pattern was cheered up a little.

See the happy guy? He absolutely has a spring in his step. :)

I don't know what's going on here with the movement, but I like it.

Dress: Second hand, Leggings: Chinese shop, Sandals: Tamaris (worn before here and here), Umbrella: Ikea, Belt: H&M (I turned it around, to show the simpler side), Big ring: Small boutique, Roses: Jojó Art Shop. 

Power Cut

Tonight I came home to a power cut in both the avenue we live on, and the one right beside it. Pitch dark in the middle of the capital, even the streetlights were gone! After clambering up four stories without being able to see further than my nose, and successfully getting into the flat and finding a candle and matches, I had to realize I can't come up with anything to do without electricity. I couldn't read for fear of setting my book on fire...

Felt so hapless, the urban girl just staring out of the window and waiting for the Internet to save her evening. :)

Well, as you can see, it's back!

 

Coat - Promod, but dyed by my sister, Doc Martens, scarf - H&M, umbrella - street vendor

These wonderful photos were taken by Zsófi Raffay, a lovely girl and a very talented and ingenious photographer. Her portraits are superb, as well as her urban photography. 

(Perfect for me, the classic urban girl. With her beloved Internet connection.) 

Take a look at her pictures here!

These pics were taken a while back, actually, it's much sunnier now! 

And there's light in the flat. 

OK, OK, I'm stopping it right here.
