Sour Grapes
As a kid, I got hooked on a random Strawberry Shortcake movie. Thinking back it was a peculiar cartoon, with different shortcake friends bobbing their oversized heads and playing guitars. This of course was after a fairy came and made their hair grow. In the end, the antagonist (a purple fellow the shade of my top) was destroyed by the titillated follicles. I was an odd little thing.
I finally found a belt that’s a keeper and have been experimenting with different methods of wear. I usually stray away from voluminous silhouettes, but using the belt cinches the waist and allows the top to flow into the lines of the skirt. Sometimes volume is a good thing.

As soon as I read the post title, I thought of Strawberry Shortcake. I still love her! You look fantastic!

ooooooooooooooh, I love this! amazing photos as always too:)
April 2nd, 2009 at 9:35 PM
Volume is DEFINITELY a good thing, especially when its been so sensibly reined in by a skinny leather belt! I love the drapeyness and color of your top and the Rick Owens jacket is obviously to die for!!!
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:26 AM
very nice! I like it a lot! The belt is great, especially the double buckle =)
They’ll be available soon here: http://www.shop.saskia-diez.de/ I’m still awaiting the price though…
Oh and about those paper bags, I think they’re acutally functional! The paper doesn’t rip so that’s a good thing I guess
