This Wednesday proved out to be a pretty good one! Lots of plans and secret crafts and some roller derby goodness to sweeten (and sweaten) the last hours of the day. Here's what I wore today (yet again the shoes were different for outside walks, damn you Finland). I enjoyed this outfit surprisingly much, it's girly feel was something I'm not quite used to, and also because it reminded me of one of my all-time favourite girls, one that I can always relate to. Not too hard to guess who, but you can find the answer by scrolling to the end of this page. ;)
The dress is a combination of a thrifted collar and a black dress I got with a H&M gift card. My fingers have been buzzing to create this project for months! I just couldn't find the suitable dress before. The sweet round peter pan collars weren't my cup of tea as much as these sharp ones. The pointy collar makes the outfit feel a tad more mischievous, but the spiked shoes might have something to do with that as well. I fished them from eBay a while ago, somehow Jeffrey Campbell shoes usually remind me of dinosaurs! These are my first ones and I might name them after stegosauruses because of those spikes. :> Sadly they're a tiny bit too large for me so I'll probably have to let them go and try to hunt down smaller ones.
And I just had to add these gifs here! (All found from tumblr.)
And the best one!
"Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?":
Hehee, I love it!
I think I might watch some Addams Family with a cup of steaming tea now,
hope you have a great night!
My entire closet has been slowly filling up with Pan collars the past year. I LOVE the one you made, if you ever list one like it for sale anywhere, definitely give a shout!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've been eyeing them for well over a year now, I've just thought that they might be too sweet for my taste. But finally I gave it a go and I really like this style!
DeleteI'm actually going through all my possessions right now, there's a HUGE pile of unnecessary clothing and shoes flying away from my closet. Not this dress though. ;)
Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteI love the Addams Family. One week ago I bought the movie on DVD. Great!
Thank you! Did you buy the first one or the Family Values? I've been searching all over the internet to get the first film on DVD, without any success. I've only got the film on an ancient VHS video tape, I've watched it so many times that some parts are starting to melt. :-D
DeleteSuch a fantastic Outfit!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! ^^
DeleteI was totaly going to say that this dress reminded me of Wednesday Addams! hahahaha, so cute! I wish i had one of those for Halloween last year.
ReplyDeleteHehee, thank you Natasha! You can always dress up as Wednesday on this year's Halloween? :)
DeleteBeautiful outfit and great inspiration! Love your make up and hair here! Absuloutely stunning! xx

Thank you so much Anna! <3
DeleteAaah! täydellinen postaus! <3 noi korkkarit eritoten.
ReplyDeleteOo, kiitos hurjasti! ^^
DeleteYou're soooo pretty <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Leeri :)
DeleteHello there beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda curious, what shoes do you actually wear outside?
Hello! I have to wear sturdier ones, I would freeze and probably slip in heels like these. :D So usually I wear high heeled boots (with winter soles) and wedge ankle boots. I'm still searching for the perfect winter combat boots!
DeleteYou are so gorgeous! Great outfit, you look like a dool.
ReplyDeleteps: dying for these pair of shoes! <3
Thanks so much! :)
DeleteMielettömät kengät, jälleen kerran!
ReplyDeleteOn ne kieltämättä aika mielettömät! Myyntiin vaan taitaa kokonsa puolesta mennä.
DeleteI simply adore your style!
ReplyDeleteI love all the spikes going on. I haven't worn spikes for a few years The always get damaged because the weather is so humid were I live. :(
You could get away with dressing in Wednesday Addams inspired garb all year long. It looks so cute ♥
Oh, thank you! ^^
DeleteWeather conditions are nasty when they prevent wearing certain garments, in this country the problem seems to be the long winter. Sure it has it's own bright sides, but I'm longing to wear all my high heels again!
Jos myyt noi kengät ni myy MULLE!! To die for ja sulla on just snadisti pienempi jalka ku mulla! Aaaaah!
ReplyDeleteTehdään näin beibi, kun luultavasti myyn nää! Voin niin hyvin kuvitella nuo sun jalassa. <3 Saat nää heti kun löydän uudet sopivammat!
DeleteWhat a lovely dress! :D The white collar piece is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHehe, thank you!
DeleteHaha, I love the Addam's Family movies as well!
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks really sweet. I like the simple yet girly shape of it and I love the white collar you added :)
Glad to hear there's other fans out there! And thank you ^^
DeleteKaunis mekko! ♥ Söpöt ovat nuo kengätkin, kiva kontrasti tulee tuon kauluksen kanssa. :)
ReplyDeleteHih, kiitoksia! Tykkäsin itsekin kovasti tuosta kontrastista :)
DeleteÄlä vielä luovu kengistäsi. Minä olen pelastanut monta aavistuksen liian isoa paria joutumasta kirpputori kasaan yksinkertaisesti ostamalla kunnon pohjalliset. Ne tuovat kenkiin juuri sopivasti lisätäytettä ja tadah! kengät pysyvät menossa mukana.
ReplyDeleteKiitos vinkistä, mutta taidan kuitenkin luopua kun kokeilin jo pohjalliskikkaa eikä se tuntunut auttavan tarpeeksi. Pitänee kokeilla jotain muuta pohjallista vielä, ehkä jotain kantapääpalaa vaikkei ne ole mulla yleensä toimineet. Onneksi aina on vaihtoehtona myydä ja ostaa tilalle pienemmät. :)
DeleteAmazing hairstyle! Also, maybe its a strange compliment, but your nose is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! It might be a strange compliment but also a very nice one. :)
DeleteA great outfit as always, the pointy Pan collar looks more grown up than the rounded ones and yes, slightly mischievous : )
ReplyDeleteLoving the Wednesday gif images!
Näitä sun kuviasi on vain joka kerta yhtä ihanaa katsella ja huokailla sun upeutta... Olet niin kaunis että ihan itkettää ;____; <3
ReplyDeleteTerveisin, Miss J.
Voi apua miten ihana kommentti, menin ihan sanattomaksi! Kiitos hirmusesti <3
DeleteWOW. just WOW.
ReplyDeleteand i love the gif's. ♥
Thank you! ^^ I found much more of those great gifs but didn't want to spam the whole entry with them, hehe.
DeletePerfect combination of the collar with the black dress. I love it alot, especially combined with those shoes, wonderfull ♥ You look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :)
DeleteSulle kyllä tuntuu käyvän asu kuin asu. Tuollaista mekkoa olen itsekin katellut, mutta pelkään näyttäväni pikkutytöltä se päälläni.
ReplyDeleteNiin ja ihania Addams Family - gifejä!
Kiitos paljon! Mulla oli ennen ihan sama pelko, ajattelin näiden peter pan-kaulusten olevan aivan liian söpöjä tyyliini. Terävämpi malli tuntuu istuvan hyvinkin, varsinkin kun yhdistelee jotenkin jännästi. :)
Deleteu r so skinny now...any diet?
ReplyDeleteIt's a complete mystery to me why some of you anons are so interested on other people's weights. Seriously, why? :D I've never been on a diet.
DeleteShut up anonymous! MothMouth is just perfect, one of a kind. Not too skinny.
Deletewhere do you buy such linen?)
ReplyDeleteHmm, do you mean the bedspread? I don't know where it's from, I got it long ago from my mom. :)
Deletemouthmouth, do you have some makeup tutorial? btw you are my muse to start blogging)
ReplyDeleteI'm honoured to hear that! I don't really do make-up tutorials, but I do have a post about my daily make-up here: http://mothmouth-throughthelookingglass.blogspot.fi/2012/01/pick-your-poison.html
DeleteO gosh, Mothmouth, you are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me and at the same time make me feel bad for sitting at home all day, behind my screen, snacking and weaking my bathrobe (I did put make-up on to make myself feel a bit better!). What do you do on such days, when youre just home, bored and not feeling well?
Xoxo, GlitterGun
Oh, thanks so much dearie! On such days I always try to do something that will cheer me up. There's a ton of options for such days, like reading, playing on PS3, drawing, taking pictures or visiting flea markets for treasures. I'm never bored, that's an honest truth, because there's always so many nice things to do and create!
DeleteAnd sometimes I just sit behind my screen and snack all day, hehe.
oh, what a wonderful outfit! I've been looking for a collar like that for ages... probablby have to make one myself...
ReplyDeleteoh and by the way, are you on Tumblr? (just curious)
Nope, I'm not on Tumblr, but sometimes I randomly search pretty pictures there.
DeleteAnd thank you! It's easy to find super cheap shirts with collars like these from recycling centers and flea markets, you only have to cut it off and attach it to the dress. :)
Love this look on you :) .Very polished .Great dress,perfect if I might add, everything you need from a little black dress. I've been looking one like that for AGES..still no luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much <3 I hope you find your dress someday!
DeleteOi, sie oot upea :3
ReplyDeleteVoi kiitos paljon!
DeleteThe hair looks amazing, just like you. Could you do a tutorial for this hairdo? Please? ;3;
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I don't really know if this requires a tutorial, I just put my ratted hair on a ponytail and separate sections on each side. :)
DeleteWednesday is one of my absolutely fav characters too, she's so sassy. Have you played the Addams Family on nintendo ? It's very entertaining, I think I've played it through like ten times :-D
ReplyDeleteOH YES! I have! :D I never owned a Nintendo myself when I was growing up, but we used to play it with a couple of friends at a friend's house. It was such a great game, I'd love to play it again!
DeleteIn which team do you play?
ReplyDeleteI play @ https://www.facebook.com/rollerderbyporto?fref=ts
I play in Joensuu Rolling Rogues! :) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Joensuu-Roller-Derby/219523201406869?fref=ts
DeleteNice ;)
DeleteI'm following you guys! Good bouts.
I like your floor
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLovely outfit and so creative as always. The shoes are adorable. I know how you feel , I also curse the slippery and snowy streets. And when the snow melts a thick layer of shoe-destroying-gravel cover the asfalt :(.
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetie! I know, the gravel is a real pain in the ass for anyone who enjoys high heels. :/
DeleteTätä on varmaan kysytty sulta ehkä miljoona kertaa, mutta olen laiska enkä jaksa etsiä vastausta blogista :D: Onko nuo sun omat hiukset vai pidennykset?
ReplyDeleteIhan omaa karvaa on koko reuhka. :) Täältä löytyy lisää tukkakysymyksiä ja vastauksia!: http://mothmouth-throughthelookingglass.blogspot.fi/2012/09/q-hair.html
Delete♥Oh! I adore Wednesday! And you! You are looking as gorgeous as ever! I am about to get a wee moon tattoo and I smiled real big when I just saw yours! Oh to the beautiful moon! ♥ Have a wonderful week ahead beautiful one x
ReplyDeleteAww thank you sweetie <3 I love the moon, I hope you'll enjoy your tattoo as immensely as I do mine. :) I smile whenever I notice it. Hope you have a wonderful week too Zoë!

ReplyDeleteEn tiedä saatko linkkiä toimimaan, mutta kuviasi löytyy tuolta fb-sivulta "Bellezas Obscuras/Dark Beauties"
:/
Voi, näitähän löytyy ja tuota kuvanpöllintää on vaikea hillitä. :/ Inhottaa vaan kun katkaisevat nuo vesileimat pois kuvista, pöh. Kiitos linkkauksesta!
DeleteOot niin ihana ja kaunis!!!! oli pakko tulla kertomaan. Oon lukenut sun blogia pari vuotta ja oon tutustunut moniin siisteihin juttuihin tän kautta. Esimerkiks just tohon Addams Familyyn ja on pakko kiittää siitä. Oot inspiroiva ja ihana kiitos hei
ReplyDeleteVoiii kiitos hirmusesti! Ihana kuulla että oon onnistunut inspiroimaan! ^^
DeleteUpea asukokonaisuus! Minkä kokoiset kengät ovat, jos kerran olet ne mahdollisesti laittamassa myyntiin? :o
ReplyDeleteKiitoksia! :) Nuo on UK 5 kokoa, eli suomalaisittain 38. Campbellin kengät on yleensä aika pientä mitoitusta (ainakin kaikki muut mitä oon sovittanut) mutta nämä oli jostain syystä poikkeus. Ovat ihan rehellisesti kokoa 38, ehkä vähän sen ylikin. Mulla on tosissaan tuo jalka 37-37,5 hujakoilla niin hieman lonksuvilta tuntuvat.
