Sunnuntai / Sunday

Laiska sunnuntai: tänään en aio suoriutua mistään muusta kuin muutaman villavaatteen tuulettamisesta parvekkeella. Eilisilta venyi pitkäksi, kun kävin työkavereiden kanssa ulkona syömässä. Pari viinilasillista näköjään riittää nykyisin siihen, että seuraava päivä menee kuin sumussa, Tekee mieli kaivautua peittojen alle, torkkua niinkuin kissa, olla valveen ja unen rajamailla, katsoa telkkaria puolisilmällä, selata muotilehtiä.


Arvatkaa mitä: lupauduin työpaikalla koekaniiniksi vastavalmistuneelle pukeutumisneuvojalle. Reilun viikon päästä saan nähdä, miten joku toinen meikäläisen pukisi. Pukeutumisneuvojalla on käytössään minusta kasvo- ja kokovartalokuva ja täyttämäni lomake, jossa kerron omia näkemyksiäni tyylistäni ja vaatteista ylipäätään. Suurella mielenkiinnolla odotan, millaisia vaatteita minulle valitaan ja kuinka paljon ne mahdollisesti eroavat siitä, miten itse valitsen pukeutua. Lupaan kirjoittaa kokemuksesta kymmenen päivän päästä!


It's a lazy Sunday, and I am airing out some of my wool clothes on the balcony. That's all I'm good for today! I went out for dinner with my colleagues last night, and it seems that two glasses of wine is enough for me to suffer from a slight headache and overall tiredness the day after. I feel like snoozing like a cat, flipping through fashion magazines, watching TV half-awake. 


Guess what - I had the opportunity to sign up for a free stylist's consultation through work. Curious as I am, I went for it. The stylist will pick out clothes for me on the basis of two photos and a filled out form where I've attempted to describe my style and my likes and dislikes when it comes to clothing. I am intrigued and can't wait - I wonder what types of clothes the stylist will choose for me, and how different they may be from how I dress myself. The styling takes place in ten days - and believe me, I will write all about it!

  1. Looking forward to reading all about it! You really have a style all of your own so I would think you'll be a challenge for any stylist 😉

    1. As I was filling out the form (it had a lot of questions!), I was thinking that I might be a total nightmare for the poor stylist: "I love prints, but I am picky, because they have to be vintage-y enough. Florals are nice, as long as they look either Asian-inspired or old English types. I like stripes for summer but it really depends on the piece of clothing, too, and because of my migraines I don't like optical prints overall". :D

    1. Illusia is not always the most photogenic cat, but when she sleeps, she's a star! :)
      I'm super excited about seeing the stylist - I'm very, very curious.

  3. Sounds like a fascinating experience indeed! I would like to see the photos & form she got from you, too.

    1. She got two photos: one of my face and a full body shot where I am wearing a black long-sleeve t-shirt and a black slip. I didn't want to give her any visual hints of how I normally dress and I guess it was important for her to just see my body shape, so I went with clingy black. Can't wait for the styling session!

    1. Mä yritin laskeskella, kuinka kauan olen omistanut tuon villapaidan. 20 vuotta ei taida riittää. Sain sen tuliaisiksi vissiin Norjasta tai jostain, kun olin 15-vuotias. Saattaa olla mun pitkäikäisin vaatekappale. :)
