High-Def

so when i was on facebook, i saw that my awesome cousin [andrea] shared this store: mr. gugu & miss go. since i love to see different persons' aesthetics when it comes to their desired apparel, i clicked on the shop and found the greatest outfit staples aka leggings, t-shirts, and crew-neck sweaters. what sets this shop apart from all the rest that sell graphic garments is the fact that the images they print are not only unique, but they are also of a  HIGH DEF quality. 

here are some particular pieces i selected:

 t-shirt; mr. gugu & miss go.

leggings; mr. gugu & miss go.

bindis + purple lipstick

shoes; jeffrey campbell. tights; camden market [UK]. socks; free people. dress; chiara's creation. bra; urban outfitters. 
ladies and gentlemen, i would like to introduce you to chiara's first industrially constructed dress. 
necessities: an old dress, an old tee, 30 safety pins, and scissors. 
time needed: 30minz.
state of mind (optional, but strongly suggested): dazed & confused.
steps: 1) cut shirt just underneath boobies.
2) cut dress so that when it hangs below shirt, it cuts off mid-thigh
3) safety pin shirt to dress in pleated manner
4) (optional) cut designs out of shoulders or sides
AND PRESTO, YOU GOT A HOTTIE TOTTIE DRESS FOR A NAUGHTY SHAWTY.  
i reused one of my older fashion techniques of sock layering. the tights i am wearing underneath the thigh high black socks are actually opaque black until they reach the tip of the cross... so i thought the crochet socks would be a dope over layer for the opaque portion of the tights, giving the outfit a nice, rough textural feel. 

peace& love,
Gi
