comfortable in my skin



Sometimes people ask me whether l feel uncomfortable being photographed on the streets. I tell them there's always tourists where I take my pictures, so I might as well be another (really fashion savvy or extremely dressed up) tourist. I don't really know any tourists who go about wearing trompe l'oeil body suits with bras stitched on them while sightseeing, so yeah, that's my excuse out of the window. Can you imagine the look on the face of your average passerby? I know this body suit may shock some people (hi, mom :)), but that's not the reason I bought it. I just love the quirky yet very minimalistic aesthetics from Maison Martin Margiela and since this is the closest I can get to owning their pieces without going completely bankrupt, I think I might have bought the entire MMM x H&M collection. This was just one of the many items I thought would be fun to wear. Especially when paired with dungarees.

  3. You're lucky that you have a lot of tourists where you are because I usually don't and I feel like such a dork maybe my boyfriend snap so many photos of myself! That bodysuit/top thing is definitely a very unique piece, I'd never be able to pull it off!! Even though you're fully clothed, don't you kind of feel naked still??
