Street Chic - The Square, Sydney Uni

October 13th 2006 04:23

I realise I posted a street chic outfit from the Square at Sydney University only a couple of weeks ago, but I spend a lot of time there. On a beautiful sunny day, there's nothing better than basking on the grass with friends. I always love my friend Becci's outfits - she has the best dress sense, featuring flowy colourful dresses with random prints and patterns, loose, drapey tops made from thin fabrics, and splendidly ornate jewellery. Today she was wearing:

Becci in hippy mode

- black Supre footless tights
- long purple/green tie-dyed dress, from the Valley Markets in Brisbane
- thick silver cuff with beautiful imprinted design, from Cambodia
- silver bangle that was a present
- big purple stone pendant with elaborate silver setting on a long silver chain around neck, from Brisbane Markets
- silver angular reflective aviators (they actually belong to our mate AJ, but Becci stole them yaayy)

- lavendar metallic Havaianas thongs
- huge brown suede bag from Italy

She looked fantastic - her gorgeous tie-dyed hippy-style dress was so different to the usual tamely printed dresses I see. Becci, let's bring tie-dye back!

Always Eighteen: Japan Edition

I remember the days when my uncle and I used to tie dye our t shirts... and that was the 90s!

Always Eighteen, what did it turn out like? I've always wanted to try it myself but missed that class in both Art AND Textiles in high school and never got around to having a go

yeah not such a fan of the ol' tie dye. i dont think its a wearable print; i.e. most people cant pull it off. you need to be a certain type of person

although, its mega fun to do! and actually works. i've doubted wether i'd be able to do it but i've made me some good tie dye bags; it was good fun!

gosh yes, it looks like a blast. i love tie dye, but i hate the tie dye pieces that chain stores manufacture in cheap fabrics for like $60, i bet it wouldn't even cost them $3 to make. it disgusts me.

I think tie-dye is associated with hippies who never let go, which is why it's considered tacky... myself, I don't think it's much of a good look!

Awww oh well I still love it...and Becci is definitely a hippy but I don't think there's anything tacky about that!
