Comp-ashish-on...you're so witty Centine! No...really. You are.

If the temperature hadn't been 30 degrees Celsius today, this challenge would have been much more bearable. 
This one is to prove that I actually do own a Fair Isle knit...the colour is just wrong for this purpose though....come to think of it...this purpose is wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG!
Fun with pom poms!
This is a vintage Bob Mackie silk coat from his "wearable art" range. I bought it on ebay about a year ago, and have never worn it (it's not the easiest piece to casually throw on with anything). But I knew at the time I had to have it, and now I know why.
This is the only leopard print I own, and it's a skirt...poor attempt.

I am fully aware that it looks like i am wearing naught but a pom-pom adorned hat, however I assure you that was not the case. 

So my conclusions after the Ashish Winter 2009 challenge: This look was fun for a while...and I love pom-poms, but i don't think it's a look I while be sporting any time soon. I do possess a sizable collection of pom-poms now, so I may put them to good use elsewhere.

  1. Centine asks "where on earth did you get those shorts with the pom poms, and why haven't I seen them before now????"

  2. haha...it's actually a black jumpsuit...I just temporarily attached the pom-poms onto them for the sake of this task. :) Should I make it a permanent attachment?

  3. For shiz! And if you could make me a pair too, I'll repay you in a secret awesome op shop find from the other day...

    Said Centine.

  4. I've actually thinking about making you a few birthday presents...like that denim dress you told me about. However, I'll need a few more details, or a bit more of a description of how you'd like the dress, other than the exposed orange zip. Or we could modify that idea. And i've been trying to work out a way to do permanent pleating, so I can rip off your alpha scarf, without taking it to a professional pleater. I'll get there. Say, do you have a particular pair of pants you would like pom-pompified?
