Tänään on taas Everybody Everywear-haasteen aika. Teemana on monokromaattinen asu, eli yhtä ja samaa väriä päästä varpaisiin. Nämä tehtävät tuntuvat muuttuvan kerta kerralta hankalammiksi. Ja välissä on ollut muutamia jotka olen suosiolla jättänyt väliin koska vaatekaappini ei vain taivu. Okei, tällä kertaa voisin mennä sieltä mistä aita on matalin ja valita mustaa (minulla on reilusti mustaa), mutta koska ulkona on niin kaunis auringonpaiste päätin että en valitse mustaa.
Vaikka minulla on omat suosikkivärit niin täysin monokromaattisen asun valitseminen muodostuikin yllättäen erittäin hankalaksi. Mitään väriä ei tunnu löytyvän tarpeeksi. Sain kasaan ainakin tämän asun, mutta tässäkin jouduin ehkä vähän oikomaan polkuja. Pakko tunnustaa että Desiree on ehkä saattanut vähän vaikuttaa viimeaikaisiin pukeutumisvalintoihini…
Ja loppuun pieni muistutus taas itselleni ja lukijoilleni: muistakaa tarkistaa vintage-kenkienne korot säännöllisesti kenkäkatastrofien varalta ja käyttäkää suutarilla tarvittaessa.
IN ENGLISH
Today is Everybody Everywear- challenge again. Theme for this month is monochromatic, choosing one colour and wearing it head to toe. I have to say, these challenges seem to get harder and harder every time. There has been couple which I had to skip because my wardrobe just doesn’t bend that way. Okay, this time I could have gone easy way and choose black (I got plenty of black), but because the sunshine outside is so gorgeous I chose not to wear black.
Even though I have my favourite colours, choosing completely monochromatic outfit was pretty difficult. I just don’t seem to have enough any of my favourite colour. However I was able to put this outfit together, but even then I had to cut some corners. Have to say that Desiree might have influenced my recent selections a bit…
And finally little reminder for myself and my readers: remember to check your vintage heels regularly to prevent shoe disasters and take them to cobbler if needed.

After 400 meters of walking shoes looked like this. Perhaps
I should have taken them to cobblers a bit earlier…
Kaunis asu! Viitta on tosi ihana :) Toivottavasti löydän jostain nätin verhon, koska haluan samanlaisen!
Gotta love a big oversized sheer top – BEAUTIFUL! And I love the brooch in your hair.
Let’s follow each other!

Daisy – Thank you, top was made of old curtain, just hole in the middle and some decoration, thats it. I secured the brooch with bobby pin, why should brooches be only for bodice. And thanks for dropping by!
Elise – Kiitos! Mulla on erilaisia, eri värisiä pitsiverhoja varastossa useita. Hamstraan niitä aina kun löydän jonkun kivan. Niistä on helppo väsätä jotain näyttävää erilaisiin tapahtumiin. Tämäkin viitta tai leihutoppi, mikä lie, oli alunperin vappubileisiin tehty pikasäätö. No, näemmä se pääsi nyt myös arkikäyttöön. Ja helppo myös ommella. Reikä vaan keskelle ja vähän sivuja umpeen niin että jää käsille aukot, sitten vähän koristetta ja se on siinä :D
Oh, what a shame about the shoes. I hope you can fix them!
I love the shades of blue you chose to wear–gorgeous, really. There were lots of blue outfits on EBEW today, but none this color, and it goes with your hair wonderfully.
Perfectly lovely. The details and colors are amazing.
Mia – Shoes can be fixed, this is quite ordinary thing to happen with vintage shoes. The sole pads eventually starts deteriorate so they just need to be checked every now and then for damage. I failed to do that this time and they came off when I was wearing them :D
Thank you! When I was planning what to wear I was sure everyone is going for the easy option, black. But now I see everyone was thinking the same and went for blue instead :D I don’t actually like that many shades of blue, but smoke blue is one of them (teal, aqua and turquoise are the others), even though I have lot of blue in my wardrobe. I’m glad I managed to pull something different than other participants :D
Lynne DeVenny – Thank you :D smoke blue is one of my favourite colours and details in the clothing are handmade by me.
A vision, very dreamy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blue cameo before.
This is so pretty! I love the accessories :)
Awwwww thank you darling!!! You are looking super-gorgeous in that glorious colour – not many can pull that delicate shade of blue off, but my oh my, you are nailing it baby! The cameo is truly glorious and you made the cape out of a curtain? Completely beautiful!!! xoxo
Thorne Garnet – I think the cameo is made of some sort of plastic, so it’s not real cameo, but I do like the unusual colour :D
Mary – Thank you so much :)
Desiree – I have very pale skin, I think that’s the reason why gray shades of blue suit me. Yes, the cape is made of old curtain. Similar lace curtains are quite common in here and available widely in flea markets and thrift shops. Allthough this colour is rather rare to find, in general. Thank you :D More curtain-clothes in my next post!
I love all of the little details of your outfit like the cameo brooch and sequin trim on the cape – lovely!
Kimbercrafts – Thank you! When I bought the cameo brooch I didn’t even realize it matched with the skirt and cape that I already had. I enjoy having (and making) little details on clothes like sequins or embroidery, those make them more interesting.
