Mustard Stockings

to photograph diseased plants. honestly sometimes i think people don’t take me that seriously on first look because of the way i dress. i already look 16. and when i don’t dress like a sophisticated landscape architect, people think i am an intern. i don’t blame them but this teaches them, hopefully, a lesson not to associate perceived age with capability. can’t win it, so use a strange logic.

Princess Tina

these days i have this thing for polka dots. especially if they are not regularly polka-dotted. i usually tend to steer away from brown, because i detest it when people say hey you look like a twig. but i bought the skirt because it was flare and i was just in a flare mood that day. to balance the cuteness of polka dots, i threw on a denim vest i got from Cotton On at novena, which was a superb find because i have been looking around for ages. and lastly, anyone who read Monotones of Gray, knows that i love my Princess Tina brooch. i first saw it on Chocosho, fell in love with it and found it finally at Douglas and Hope on Brunswick Street in Melbourne.

i call this bag my essential for the starving artist look (S.A.L) no idea why. i just like the sound of it. anyone who buys shoes from charles and keith will know its from there. i usually refuse to buy bags from C&K because i have seen, honestly, at least 10 different people carry the same C&K bag (not this one though) on the train at peak hours. but i just had to get this bag because i was so keen on getting the S.A.L.

so be prepared to see this bag make a lot of appearances on this blog
