Matching friends

· Fashion, Illustration

In the continuity of my previous post about the combo pink/grey/white, I found this trend during my Pinterest peregrinations.

 

Similar look

In South Korea (and maybe somewhere else?), the “Similar look” (extension of the “Twin look” with many people) is something that groups of friends love doing (so far I only found pictures with only girls but we can imagine the same with boys & girls).

Basically, people must wear the same color tones as their friends when going out for a drink, for a walk, etc. The local Girl bands must influence this trend a lot.

 

Perfect match !

I must admit that it happens sometimes with my friends (without prior consultation of course! haha!) but it’s never premeditated, or only when we go to a special event, just for fun.

The benefit of this discovery, is the ability to admire only with one picture a dozen of looks with the same color harmony, which is very inspiring.

On the other side, if this trend happens to be real (I’ve never seen that in the streets of Seoul), I just hope these friends only follow this trend occasionally, otherwise, how alienating !

Over here, the tendency is rather toward uniqueness and own personality (even though with blogs or Instagram, we tend somehow to be all clones, me included) but is it something you would like seeing in France?

On my side, I’m divided between fascination (hello Control Freak) and a certain fear… (English translation by Quiterie)

Finally it’s Spring !

· Fashion

Yesterday, we finally had a beautiful spring day, I hope you enjoyed it!

It was the occasion to wear my favourite Spring chromatic: pink-grey-white. I still find it modern and refreshing without being too girlish.

It was also the first time to wear these new sunglasses which are not particularly fitting the shape of my face (butterfly or square shapes are usually more appropriate) but I like the quirky “Iris Apfel” rendering it can give: let’s have a bit of fun, it’s Spring!

How to tie a bandana

· Fashion, Illustration

This post answers directly JulyToSeptember’s comment in my last article who was worried to not be very manual and asked me how to tie her bandana around her neck.

« SOS bandana assistance » Hello ! Therefore I decided to show my 2 favorite ways to tie it. You will most probably find on the Internet others articles talking about it and the 1001 ways to tie a bandana in a more spectacular way but these two ways of doing remain classic.I thought it would be a good idea to show you the method with a GIF.

The DIY professionals will probably find it useless but anyway, if it can help!

 

Classic

Around the neck, the most common way I knot it. Before knowing this « technique », I was only rolling the bandana before knotting it, so I was looking like a boyscout. So to give it a « rectangle » shape has its importance.


 

Cowboy

I use this version when I want my style to be cooler instead of being a bit gaudy. Once it’s knotted around the neck, you may try to make it a bit softer and loose by pulling and adjusting all the sides. (English translation by Quiterie)
