An inventory has been done now, and it seems that currently I own 21 bags and purses, a lot of polka-dotted clothes, black is still somewhat dominant but other colours have made their way into my wardrobe – namely white, red, pink (+light pink) and blue (and I used to swear never to wear anything blue!) – and my underwear collection is far more extensive than I had thought. Despite all this, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need more dresses. Not just any kind of dresses, but pieces that will help me achieve that certain 50s pin-up feel to my style more easily. For a while now nothing has inspired me (style-wise) as much as the eras from 20s to 60s, and I’ve tried to incorporate bits and pieces from those eras to my clothing and overall style as much as possible. Ultimately I wish to build a wardrobe mostly based on the 40s and 50s fashion, with a few more contemporary pieces as well – just in case and for certain convenience. ;) This is not impossible, it just takes time (and money!), and I’m prepared for that. I’ve always loved beautiful clothes and I like ‘dressing up’, it’s never tedious to me, most of the time very enjoyable – only when I’m in a hurry do I sometimes wish I was a little bit less of a perfectionist!
Internet is a great friend, for living in Finland the shops that carry clothes and accessories that I’d wish to buy are scarce and the prices high. Online shopping is a little too easy these days, and highly addictive, too! How am I supposed to resist all the pretty dresses, not to mention skirts, blouses and various kinds of accessories… it’s torture, and I’m weak. Deep down I love it though.
