• A green chiffon square-scarf

Outfit 2:

• Long-sleeves, black t-shirt underneath
• A scarf in gradation colours: creme to dark brown with gold threads stripes, as an inner-scarf
• A light-green, satin square-scarf.
• An ethnic, long necklace made of Kalimantan's natural stones, wore as bracelet
• Small party bag

Got these vintage batik dress and two pieces of top and skirt from my grandmother.. :)

For me, these clothes are so beautiful and I'm really in love with the motifs: wayang/Indonesian shadow-puppet (outfit 1), birds and flowers (outfit 2). The fabrics are also very comfortable to wear!

These garments are definitely made from high-quality materials and skills (batik technique and art).. After years, they are still in a very good condition.


Tips for today: Re-wear your mom or grandmother's vintage clothes, and try to mix and match them with your 'modern' contemporary clothes. You never know whether it works or whether the combo (vintage-contemporary) will look good on you, unless.. you try.. :)


Don't forget for tomorrow, Day 3 - Work Out Wear!
