I am the Scrooge McDuck of fashion. While Uncle Scrooge takes a bath in money, I feel the happiest diving into my wardrobe and hoard my textile treasures. Some not fashion people might say this is a waste of money. I disagree because it makes me so very happy. When Uncle Scrooge counts money, I count sequins. And I feel the dramatic need for more, constantly! Life is too short to spend it with cold metal, so I exchange it for soft fabrics.
But let me tell you another thing, like every coin has two sides, so do I: Sometimes even I feel an overdose of consumption and I am not all material girl. I take responsibility for our environment, think about what it means to have the things produced that I wear and buy a lot from small designers instead of big chains. I don’t want to waste resources and just buy what I cherish. A completely new look very often doesn’t need everything new, but just one key piece.
This is what I prove with this look. Everything in this look has already been in my wardrobe. Just the top is new: Sara Di Salvo’s (Hot Couture) mirror print shirt is a true game changer. Aren’t the sequin sleeves divine? They look like pure gold when all the sequins face the same direction. As soon as I discovered they were silver on the other side, I had to play with them. The disarranged structure I gave them for the pictures made me think of a very casual attempt on Alexander McQueen and his designs inspired by mysterious undersea creatures. Do you agree so, dear Uncle Scrooge?
I am very curious to hear your opinion about this look.

You look wonderful!! I think taking the time to look for great designers and buying what you really love is the best thing. I love to shop, but at the same time it takes me a while to part with my money because I like to search for just the right thing. This outfit is marvellous :)) xx
