Game of Shadows and Colors

Suurepärases korras eseme ümbertegemine on hämar ettevõtmine. Enne millegi sellisega alustamist tuleks hoolikalt kaaluda, kas konkreetne ese on seda aega ja pingutust väärt. Või oleks hoopis tunduvalt mõistlikum anda ese edasi kellegile, kes sellest originaalvormis lugu peab - sõbrannale või taaskasutuskogukonnale.


Redoing something that could very well do without, is shady business. Before venturing down that path, one needs to carefully consider if a concrete piece deserves the time and effort. Or would it simply be more reasonable to pass it on - either to a friend or second hand community. 

Before. In the old times, when it was still black and white.

Mõtlesin seega asja üle. Jakk oli mul juba olemas -> See meeldis mulle -> Ja see istus hästi (märkimisväärne omadus kõigile, kes tuttavad xxs suuruse šoppamise keerukusega - ühtlasi üks peamisi põhjuseid, miks redisaini armusin). Ainus asi, mis ei meeldinud, olid need mittemidagiütlevad metallist nööbid..

Ja leidsin aja. Võtsin välja karbi kokkukogutud nööpidega -> Valisin välja ainult üksikud nööbid -> Võtsin ereda oranži niidi -> Alustasin kodus kiiruga etteõmblemist -> Viimased sain paika juba sõidus, auto tagaistmel. Ning tulemus on kõike muud kui mittemidagiütlev:


So I thought about it. I already had the jacket -> I liked it -> And it sits well (a remarkable property for anyone who knows the difficulty of shopping xxs - also a major factor for me falling in love with redesign). The only thing I didn`t like were those blunt metal buttons.. 

And I found the time. Got out a box with collected buttons -> Chose only lonely buttons -> Got out a bright orange thread -> Started buttoning hurriedly at home -> Finished the last ones on the back seat of a car. And the result is anything but blunt:

Seda lõbusat-omanäolist jakki otsustasin kanda aga vähem lõbusate esmetega. Lihtsalt sellepärast, et juba väljas olles võib sattuda olukorda, kus eelistaksin olla pigem tõsiseltvõetav. Kohe nii roosa, sinise, kuldse nööbi jagu tõsiseltvõetav! ;)


However, I decided to wear this jolly-funky jacket with other less jolly items. Just because being already out, I might encounter a situation where I`d actually want to be taken seriously. Oh so seriously with this pink, blue and golden buttoned jacket! ;)

It aint easy facing the sun. And the shadow-self aint having any of that pink, blue, golden buttons stuff.

Ps. Sain selle jaki sõbrannalt - ilmselgelt oli tema jaoks mõistlikum anda see edasi kui harjutada õmblemist sõitva auto tagaistmel.
Pps. Saapad on samuti second hand, kuigi neid oli enne kaltsuka poodi saabumist vist küll vaid jalga proovitud.


Ps. I got this jacket from a friend - obviously it was more reasonable for her to pass it on than to start practicing sewing on the back seat of a driving car.
Pps. Boots are second hand too, although they had probably just been tried on before ending up in a community shop.



PPPS! PÄEVA MÄRGE: MÄNGIDA - KA VARJUDE JA VÄRVIDEGA! ;)
