You're Such a Pom

,Gucci Cosmetic Case

>> I'm off to Vintage at Goodwood for a day that will be like a fun fun school trip minus the stinky egg mayo sandwiches.  I was also doing homing/nesting things all day long yesterday (that mammoth clear out has given way to over 200 things that's going towards the yard sale... Preen trousers,coach outlet store online, Hussein Chalayan skirt, Vivienne Westwood dresses... err... yes, I'm being mighty ruthless) so all in all, apologies for the lack of a peep.  I do want to thank everyone for giving some very good food for thought on the previous cultural appropriation post to which I will absolutely reply with something vaguely sensible.

Another fruit that a reader bore was a link on Etsy, whilst being a marketplace for many a creative endeavour can also be somewhere which sells the most bizarre things.  I THINK what I'm seeing though here,Replica Hijinx Sunglasses, is something that is bizarre in a good way... these skirts made by Katie of POOFskirts who has come up with these bendable hoop skirts (goes into a figure of 8...handy for festivals apparently...) adorned with various formation of pom poms.  Now, I had a mild fascination with neon pom poms once... but I never of course took it to this level...

My radar may be far far off from breathing in fumes of spray mount and too much heady coffee from Present... but there's something about the closely packed formation of the strings of pom poms that makes for something REMOTELY pleasing about these skirts.  Just gotta get away from the idea that I might look like a gabba girl...

...especially when you wear them with the matching hair pom poms...

In more muted colours, the options start opening up and with the oodles of texture flooding in for next season, I'm probably bizarre making the connection that these skirts are merely the exaggerated and literal form of Thakoon's teensy tiny muted pom pom fall pieces that I loved (Nicole Phelps dubbed them 'cutesy'... I say, go forth with the pom pom action...)...

With a specific set of colour instructions perhaps in an Alchemy-type set up and could this skirt be making its way into a figure of 8 to be shoved into a gap somewhere or hung up like a dream catcher...?

Or perhaps I have taken in one too many whiffs of the spray mount...
