F21 shirt, gifted skirt, vintage Bruno Valenti shoes, self-designed necklace
My mom forced upon gave me this maxi skirt a couple of months ago and I welcomed it with open arms (can’t say no to a crazy print). It stayed untouched in my closet because I just couldn’t figure out what to do with it. It was too long for what I like normally and just short enough to not look quite right with any of my shoes….sucks.
After making this necklace the night before (and being dead set on wearing it the next day), I was determined to make it work. DETERMINED. Unsurprisingly, the aforementioned problem hadn’t resolved itself. RUDE. I decided to go the ‘quick and dirty fix’ route, hiked it up and safety pinned the hem to the waist. It looked a mangled hot mess in person. I’m planning on making it into a proper tulip skirt some time this week.

I am loving this new necklace, by the way. I think it’s my favorite so far. The Bodhisattva, so-named for the dangling Kuan Yin carved in bone at the center, is made with ceramic, wood, and malachite beads attached to an antique gold tone hexagonal chain. Very cool. It goes very well with the new tatty of a red lotus on my right wrist. Call it the universe working/divine intervention/coincidence (whatever you believe in, yo), but it seems as if the red lotus is a symbol of Avalokiteshvara who…when manifest in female form…is Kuan Yin.
Eh? Eh?
I’m sorry, but ish like that blows my mind when it happens. =D
You’ll have to excuse me now. My wrist is itching like CRAZY.
