Since I've recently been craving more structured, "architectural" clothing I put the safety pins to work this morning on my mom's old blazer and vintage skirt, both of which were changing form all day. Nothing out of a Japanese sewing pattern book but that'll do pig, that'll do.
The writing in recent posts has been really brief but as my Bat Mitzvah gets closer there's less time to really convert more stupid school conversations into transcripts. My brain has not gone dead! Yet.xx

This outfit is awesomeness incarnated, but so are you so that makes a lot of sense. Good luck with the Bat Mitzvah!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Bat Mitzvah:). Thanks for the information about the Stylized Sculpture exhibition on your other blog. The lecture linked to there starts off slowly, but it's really interesting once it gets going. I learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteOkay, wow! you have just inspired me to try the same safety pin technique!!!!! I think my wardrobe has now just doubled! I love it

I love the safety pin idea, so chic!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a queen, baby! if all little french girls living in Paris dressed like you, Paris would be better and funnier! I love your blog, so much.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your safety pinning! I hope you don't mind, I've linked you to my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou're one of the most creative people I've ever seen in my life. How does your brain work?
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable, I wish I dressed so well when I was your age. The tights are suppppercute and the scrunched blazer is perfect. Good luck on the Bat Mitzvah by the way, I'm a fellow jew too :P

Yay springy! Genius safety pin workmanship!
ReplyDeleteHey Tavi,
ReplyDeleteI read your whole blog history in a couple of weekends. Great stuff! I think you've got a lot of potential and I want to recommend a book to learn sewing. It's "Sew U; The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe". It's written by designer Wendy Mullin and she's fab. Check out her line: www.builtbywendy.com.
I am a theater costumer in NYC and as someone who learned to sew later on in life, it's definitely something I wished I had started learning earlier on...
Good luck and feel free to ask me any "technical questions", if you have any!
S.
very creative indeed, i love what you did with the jacket and pastels suit you, you should wear them more often.
ReplyDeleteI love that someone else on the blogosphere safety pins their clothes as much as I do! I really admire your ingenuity and I love what you did with the blazer.
ReplyDeletethe diy ruching is fab! xx
ReplyDeleteMazel Tov on your bat mitzvah!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous my dear! The colours are mixed together so welll i love it so much :)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUl the jacket look so good I love your idea you see ?
ReplyDeletekisses
Love the structure you created by pinning, Tavi. You are a creative FORCE!
ReplyDeleteThe whole pastel thing looks good on you. I love the skirts shape thanks to your pin skillz! haha.
ReplyDeletex x x
o my god my bat mitzvah is coming up too. I am sorta excited, and I am buying a party dress 2day. of course it will be inspired by styles on this blog
ReplyDeleteYou are amazingly creative. You also have a wonderful eye, I feel you capture something that goes beyond the clothes you are wearing, which don´t get me wrong, are absolutely marvelous!! You have an innate sense of composition and manage to project so much in your pictures. Do you know Cindy Sherman´s work, she is a photographer, if you don´t you should have a look at it... it can take you places.
ReplyDeleteI love u fuckin little girl, wish u were my sister
ReplyDeleteI love your tights and how you safety pinned your outfit
ReplyDeleteloove the pinns!
ReplyDeletecaught the babe reference... :) I almost think you should safety pin the other side too, though it looks great as is
ReplyDeleteWow! That jacket looks immense and I'm loving the whole pastel thing :D
ReplyDeletei love it!
ReplyDeletequirky, cute, and totally Tavi.
hey, i've got those tights, too.
major essentials.
I love the colors in your shirt! So pretty and reminds me of a delicious cupcake! xxoxox
ReplyDeletei have questions :
ReplyDelete- do you speak dutch too ?
- are you 12 years old ?
- are you on the pictures ?
xx
I love what you did to that jacket! it looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteooooh bat mitzvah time eh? you have to post what you are going to wear :D
Wow! This looks great!

I thought this was really creative..however, since you did so much with the blazer, I felt it may have been wiser to do both sides of the blazer and not do the skirt. Perhaps I am too much of a symmetry freak though
ReplyDeleteif all my Bnei Mitzvah kids were as cool as you teaching hebrew would be much more enjoyable! you are the coolest young lady out there!
ReplyDeleteyoure leather scarf thing is awesome! keep up the amazing fashion chica!
Wow, I saw your outfit and at the same time, this guitar song started to play, and then I was completely happy. Just by seeing your outfit and hearing the music. I don't know, I guess I always get happy because of music and creativity. I think there should be more people like you, who don't care about other peoples opinion and just choose clothes that they really want to wear.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say- I can't wait to see what you wear to your Bat Mitzvah. I obsessed over that for months and I wasn't even that into clothes.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've pinned the blazer. Looks fantastic. And congrats on your bat mitzvah!
ReplyDeleteGLORIOUS. Omg i won't be able to sleep it's so amazing!
ReplyDeleteIts a great sharing and really informative.. will keep following ur web. thanks to you and ur great website. :)
