Closet Consumption: Friday 27 July, 2012

And my horsey #marimekko dress without crazy black light!
Marimekko 'horse' dress.



Wearing today: 
  • Dress by Marimekko. Fabric printed in Finland, dress finished in Lithuania.  Cotton and lined. Purchased in store in New York in February 2012 on sale for approximately $70USD.
  • Stockings. Purchased online from Urban Outfitters for $10USD about 2 months ago. 
  • Shoes handmade, cost $160AUD. Purchased in January 2010.
  • Bag by Marimekko. Purchased in store in February 2012 on sale for approximately $60USD. 
  • Jacket by Tahari. Purchased at discount store in November 2009 for approximately $150USD. 
  • Cowl, knitted by me in April 2011.  Pure Wool.


Usage notes:


Dress:  I was in New York during the President's Day sales.  The Marimekko flagship store had items that were heavily reduced.  The funny thing is I probably would of bought this even if it wasn't on sale!


Shoes:  have been resoled once by a local cobbler.  I do go through stages of wearing these shoes but they have been well loved so far.  No issues with quality either.


Bag:  since purchase, it has been used most days.


Jacket:  One of the oldest items today.  Is worn most days in the cooler months.  I have had it cleaned once or twice professionally and it is still going strong!

Cowl:  This has had so much use!  I even wear it in the house or studio when I am feeling a little bit chilly.
