find.. wash.. rewash.. freeze.. rip.. cut.. sew.. wear

'dress' - vintage skirt worn as a dress

blazer - flea market, altered (a lot)

belt - vintage

wedges - no name

i had something different planned for today's post

then i found this blazer i bought some time ago

..

poor thing was in horrible shape

when i found it

in nasty pile of one flea market stand 

..

it was wrinkled insanely 

a bit wet, 'cause it was raining

and had that smell of naphthalene mothballs 

..

so i washed it

twice

and then froze it overnight

(it does sound a bit crazy, but it works 

if your goal is to get rid of odd smell and mites..

and i'm allergic to dust mites)

and then i forgot all about it

..

found it this morning

and this amazing color forced me

into few hours of seam ripping

cutting and sewing

..

i guess teal can force me to do just about anything

excavation pants, take 2

top - self made

pants - self made

shoes - flea market

this pants supposed to be 

my new excavation 'uniform'

..

i made one pair before

but they were too nice to be ruined in dirt

so, i decided to make a new pair

..

but.. i forgot that i should use fabric

with some stretch in it

so.. this is quite possibly 

the most uncomfortable pair of pants

in whole universe

..

but they deserve a post

after all

i spent hours making them

to tan or not to tan

 

dress - self made

shoes - no name

bag - no name

these pictures were taken

right after we got back from the black sea trip

that's why my tan looks this way

and i hate it

..

i hate tanning 

i happen to like my natural skin tone

that's why i spend all of my beach time

under the parasol

with insane amounts of sunscreen on me

but that somehow never works out

medusas

maxi dress - self made

hat - china town

i always loved jellyfishes 

(or medusas, as we call them here)

..

they look strange and beautiful 

and move so elegant

like dancing

..

now, let me tell you something about 

my relationship with living creatures

no matter if i like them or not

they hate me

i end up bitten or burned or hurt in some other way

almost every time

..

for example

once i woke up with almost 30 different bites 

on my legs and stomach

that wouldn't be so strange

happens to me all the time

but this very time

nikola was in that same bed

and woke up without a single bite

..

i always wanted to visit africa

if i ever menage to make that dream true

i would probably die of malaria within days

but.. back to jellyfishes

..

lovely summer day on the beach 

golden sand 

and lovely foaming waves

just a perfect day

..

then i felt

something burned my neck

and it started to hurt 

so i went out of water

(ok.. i screamed first

and cursed a lot)

..

then it got worse

my throat started swelling

breathing become harder

and my head felt really weird 

..

i ended up in er

got two shots 

and was fine within half hour

..

doctor was drinking beer

so i thought he is the right guy to ask

can i drink when i get out of er

yeah! he said, quite enthusiastic 

..

so i did

..

worlds

maxi dress - self made

hat - china town

bag - dunno.. i have it forever

i live in, what some people call

third world county

that, i guess, mean

that we are third class of people

dreaming third class dreams 

living three time less important lives 

..

so

this year

i left first world holidays to 

more famous first world bloggers

and head to bulgaria

to enjoy third world style

..

and guess what

we had a blast

sea is still the sea out there

even if it's called 'black '

sand is still sand, warm and soft

only booze cost less

..
