Nǐ hǎo! I struggle with this little chinese jacket. It's a beautiful dark green and orangey red. Free from restrictions with my little dress up project. I've pulled it out of the closet and I'm rather pleased with the result.
I found it in the wonderful vintage shop Billy Jean (now sadly gone, and replaced with yet another shop for expensive toddlers.) It came with a very odd pair of trouserswhich I sent to the charity shop. I wish I'd kept them they'd have looked cute peeping under the skirts of the LBD!
When I came downstairs - iPodge greeted me in traditional Chinese 'kowtow' style and I felt very ladylike!
I'm going to set up a camera on a gorilla tripod over the weekend. This little adventure is all about learning and playing - and I'd like to learn more about the camera - so next week, I master the timer function!
Details below!
I felt a bit bulky around the middle with the jacket buttoned up - so I restyled it with a necklace and a buttoned up collar. I have no idea who this belonged to originally - but she had a tiny neck! You can see the pattern in the dress more clearly today.
I've also figured out how to flip the camera so it's a bit easier to take an image without staring myself down. I'm not wearing my glasses - so if I look like I'm peering at myself with intent. I am.I also had a couple of mishaps - minus glasses. A persistent slide to the video and a couple of shots of the carpet.
Finally I've included a detail of my shoes. I have had these beautiful Red or Dead booties for years and years. I look after my shoes and these have recently been revived by our local cobbler who glued rubber soles back and reheeled them.
Just like new!
