lucilleduquette:

here we have my poor-man’s version of the marc jacobs runway looks posted here. i tried to maintain some of the sense of volume, and some of the colors. i wish this uniqlo skirt came in some bright shades, because i’d probably buy them all (i promise after today i’ll stop posting this skirt so much). 

anyway, i know this isn’t going to pass for MJ, but i was happy with the approximation, especially because everything was fairly inexpensive. the skirt is from the jill sander for uniqlo collection, and the shirt is h&m. the minute i saw it, it made me think of the marc runway show, but i can also think of a million other ways i want to style it- including a likely-to-be MDAL look with my high-waisted velvet shorts. 

i felt the need for a thick obi belt around my waist, but i don’t own one. the best i could do was cutting a piece from some scrap fabric noel gave me, and tying it around my waist. seeing it made me want to find a real obi belt. i know there are lots of google-able patterns for making your own obi belt out of fabric or leather with velcro, so i may give that a try. or, more likely, i’ll buy an obi belt on etsy or ebay out of laziness.

do you have any runway styles flagged for reinterpretation?
