Last week, I was a participant in the studies we are doing for senior research at school. I had to wear all black and shorts for mo-cap and for electrodes. Well, the athletic ninja look is
so last season and no one wears all black after Overthrow the Shogunate Day (and my bike shorts are really short!) so I added a wide leather belt, two silver scarves, and a coverup silk dress by 4 Love and Liberty.
Dress: 4 Love and Liberty (gift from Megan Mae)
Belt: évenément (thrifted, Japan)
Scarves: Fair Indigo and forgotten junior shop (v. old)
Toe shoes: Vibram (The CAMP at Costa Mesa)
Yes, this is yet another gift from the wonderful
Megan Mae! This week was evidently the Megan Mae Festival. I wish someone had told me in advance; I could have baked cupcakes and sewn a flag.
I love shirt shells, so I should love dress shells too, right? RIGHT. This thing is incredibly comfortable and in my favorite shade of 'Depression Blue' (friend coined it, I love it.) There are little loops in the back, so I will add some ties when I find a suitably pretty ribbon.
I also took a shot of my athletic shoes, since I don't know how often they're seen outside of my area. They're common enough here that people know the brand and recognize them on sight, but they're predominantly worn by middle class young people (the people who have the time and income to think of their health.) I love them because as someone with very wide feet, it's the first time I've practiced stances in martial arts and not had my feet cramp because the distal half is being vise-gripped into a block by my shoe. Also they were 65% off and the purple is cute. I get a lot of comments on them. (:
How did you spend Megan Mae Week?
