{berlin street fashion}
I found this blog, Stil in Berlin, ages ago but seriously, this has got to be the best photo that I found over there during the past month.
This is fashion fusion. It's like some of the stir-frys I make. I throw in a little of whatever is left in my refrigerator and though you'd think none of it would work together, the outcome is always better than had I followed the rules and used a recipe. This lady dresses like how I cook.
I SO want to be a woman who can rock a hat like this whilst wearing THAT outfit. I love this lady. She is uber cool. Look at those tights and shoes. Rockin'. The Cardi with the belt, not for me. The ballerina skirt in black, so goth, but hmmmm it works. But for some reason it all just works.
You know someone needs to have a blog where they take photos like this of really cool people and then the blog author goes recreates the outfit almost one to one and shows how the exact same outfit looks on them. This would really be a great blog. I think it would also prove a point that many of us overlook as we see people in the street like the lady above or celebs or anyone else considered a fashionista. It's all about individual taste and personality. The person wears the outfit not the other way around. Or at least that's how I see it. If I put on above outfit people would walk by, stare disapprovingly, and hand me their spare change.
Your perspective, please?

I like this though; it's a good reminder to mix up what you have. I pulled together an outfit this weekend after rearranging my drawers and re-discovering my stuff in the back. I also forced myself to wear a scarf I received as a gift and was sure I could never 'pull off', but you know what? It looked totally awesome with my re-discovered duds and I got lots of compliments that have encouraged me to do a little more wardrobe rearranging!
Really love the idea of using what you have and augmenting an outfit with maybe one "Old new" thing from a thrift shop.

People look at the hands -is it just me or is this a guy? - maybe that is why the he can pull it off with a bigger sculptural bone structure that stops "him" from looking frumpish
I know you've spent quite a bit of time in Berlin, and I was wondering if you've ever been to the Buchstaben Museum?? I just found out about it, and I am drooling... I posted about it on my blog because I couldn't get enough of it. If you've visited, I will be even more envious of you than I already am :)
