makeshift




wow- I was reading the newspaper this morning, and there was an article about this girl from Vancouver who decided that for one year she would wear only things that she made herself- pants, shirts, sweaters, shoes, hats, sunglasses, coats, underwear...... she had a blog(of course) for every day to show what she was wearing. I went to the blog after reading the article and her stuff is cool!! i can't believe she made the shoes....and was able to whip something up when she needed it. Its interesting to look at the blog now that she's done the project because you can read the after-thoughts and what she discovered through having to make everything herself. She concluded that it was a waste of time and energy since there are people specialized in the creation of particular things - ie. shoes- and therefore they should be the ones making the shoes instead of someone who has to put a lot of time and energy into learning how, sourcing the materials, trying different techniques, etc...
very interesting I must say....
here are some of my favourite outfits of hers and check out her blog makeshift
