Circue du Ballet

Wendy Step1

Wendy: First I started with a black girly, sort of ballet-esque outfit. It was fine but I was among for something more whimsical.

Step two included a white collar.

Wendy Step2

Sandy: Which I made by taking it off an old shirt and adding a snap. I plan to make another one as soon as the next shirt gets ruined.

Wendy: Now the outfit looks like the girl from the Addams family. So.. I added some colour. Red, black and white is a classic combination.

Wendy Step3

Sandy: It looks colourful though it's mostly black. Sort of clowny.

Bumble B (Part Two)

Wendy

Sandy: Wendy’s version of the bumble bee is even better than mine.

Wendy: My what? A version of what?

Sandy: The black tulle seems to go with anything.And everything, lately...

Twin Set

Sandy, Wendy

Sandy: We decided to be good twins and wear mating clothes.

Wendy: I bought this skirt from a flea market and Sandy found a second hand top with the same pattern, just a little darker stripes.

Sandy: The top and skirt would look so stupid worn together. Like a pyjama.

Wendy: luckily we can mix and match.

Sandy: If you think matching is childlike or uncool check out our favorite designer duo Dan and Dean.

Dan & Dean, which is which?

Shortskirt

Wendy

Wendy: It looks like a skirt, it walks like a skirt but it is not a skirt.

I went to an actual shop that's not second hand which I haven't  done in ages. And I found something that made me forget my Scrooge-like attitude towards spending more than 5 euros - these amazing shorts! They are great for avoiding that Marilyn effect.

Yes, these are shorts!

A Bright Blond

Wendy

Wendy: I don't like this dress as much as the majority of my clothes. I just bought it because I quickly needed something easy and comfortable to wear in the summer heat.

Despite the bright color it lacks that umph. I discovered that turquoise is not the easiest color to accessorize. I came up with a red solution.

Sandy: Naturally, since all your accessories are red.

Grannys Underskirt

Wendy

Sandy: Wendy, you look like there should be a gingerbread house behind you.

Wendy: I ate it.

Sandy: What about your diet?

Wendy: I ate it too.

Sandy: That outfit kind of looks like underwear.

Wendy: It better. It's what I wore at the SlutWalk.

Sandy: You don't look that slutty though. Victorian, more like.

Wendy: I guess. But I do get a lot of whistles and "hey, babys" dressed like this that I would rather not hear.

It felt funny to think "do I look slutty enough?" when usually I do the opposite. I hadn't realized how I sensor my outfits.

SlutWalk

Sandy SlutWalk

Sandy: This is what I wanted to wear to the SlutWalk.

Sandy SlutWalk II

And this is what I actually wore because it was raining.

I wore my sluttiest clothes but it was still something I could very well have been wearing to a bar. But that was kind of the point too. The SlutWalk was a demonstration against putting blame on rape victims ie. for what they were wearing.

Freedom to wear what you want what better reason to march!
