(Scout tshirt dress, vintage suede fringe..thing, Topshop boots, Balenciaga bag)
Some thrift store finds are a little more grossly perfect than others..this loincloth/belt (see it more clearly here) is starred up, studded up, and double belted up. And it cinches in tightly at the high waist where nothing ever fits me. Quadruple win. One of my friends is convinced it's a cropped single thigh chap (questionable singularization acknowledged) for the burlier cowboy. But the minimal sense this makes fades the more you try to conceptualize it logically. So loincloth it is. Then again this is the same man that asked me today what kind of berry gatherer I would be..."Would you pluck them individually? Or bunched? Why did I ask, you would pick each single morsel and place it in your satchel. You should do a shoot with cavemen." Prompted by me telling him how much of a relief it is to be free of corrective lenses so that were I to be suddenly time warped to the Neolithic I wouldn't be the weak myopic one in the tribe. Since you were wondering. And I know you weren't. Worn with tshirt dress I never knew what to do with before, second day hair, my most beaten up bag, and a magical double shadow in a crazy crosswalk the earth is determined to split open.
By the way some of you have noticed I've been posting some odd photos here and there lately..it was the closest thing to a New Year's Resolution that I had to start taking more pictures...I used to screw around with photography and sort of stopped for no reason at all. It's felt kind of good to play around with it again. But of course Colin's photos will continue to reign..we tend to have very different takes on the same situation and his will to experiment with photography as far as his mind will take him has never ceased to amaze me.

I love your shoes! black is great :D
You always look good in monochromatic outfits; If there's one thing I love about black, it;s the fact that it never ever goes out of style ...

LOVE THAT BELT? YOU SHOULD HAVE COME TO PARIS FASHION WEEK§
Now I am curious about which photos in the previous posts were taken by you!
http://ganymedekids.blogspot.com
loooove this heels! did you buy them recently? I need them.
'cropped single thigh chap' - this made me laugh a lot!! Great shades and booots. I feel so lucky to live in London and be surroundd by Topshops!
Love the outfit, especially the Topshop boots, wonder if they're comfortable?
I like the different takes on photography, love the outfit too. Like tinkerbell only a bad girl version.
♥
Ganymede Girl - if it's of something painfully quotidien then I probably took it..I'm a strange girl
Allegra, I got them in November I think?
Brooklynfluff so, so comfortable, it makes no sense
LOOOVE the shoes
whoa! that skirt/single chap doo-da is the bomb!
you are absolutely killin' it with this outfit!

t
p.s. we both posted fringe today, sweet!

This fringe vest is pretty awesome and the boots are incredible, I still wonder how you can walk a whole day with those heels!
Keep it up with that photo thing, i bet it'll become soon an addiction :)

lovely look! the boots are great!
;) Well whatever that fringe-thingie is you sure know how to make it work! Looking gorgeous, and I'm so jealous of the fact that you can wear a dress with bare legs in january while we're knee-deep in snow..
This outfit is to die for! I want it! You look great in it of course
btw, how tall are you?
http://leatheretteblog.blogspot.com
Great outfit.. Love those boots!

Ekkkk-Very country.
Wow, can't imagine how it feels like having that kind of weather in the winter. You're lucky:) Love your outfit!
beautiful outfit
Hey Rumi - I wanted to ask you but was afraid my question would get lost in the thousands of comments, lol - who makes the t-shirt you're wearing in the post about the Alexander Wang bag giveaway? I love the french seam down the front.
Thanks!
YEAAAAAAA I remember when you thrifted this gem!! Gosh, it looks so awesome now that it's actually on you!! I seriously wonder was it REALLY was in its previous life pre-Rumi. Like, seriously.. Maybe it WAS a loincloth after all.. That would be sooo freaky if it belonged to some old emperor (or, plain ol cowboy) from back in the day. But of course, you managed to turn this unknown thingy into something actually worthy of some chic points! You're truly an inspiration, your style sense never cease to amaze me, just like how you (and I) feel about Colin's photography :)

Rumi, you are too bloody gorgeous!! absolutely LOVE how you paired the loincloth with the tshirt dress. was wondering how you were actually going to wear that thing when i first saw it in the previous post, and you do not disappoint! geniusss. (:

Love the outfit but im kind of missing the photogrpahy and backdrop of the earlier photos compared to the more urban setting used nowadays plus not really a fan the current 'poses'.
http://fashion-storm.blogspot.com/
Yes, colin is an amazing photographer. But I really like the things you shoot more. Maybe it's because I like those type of shots more, don't know.
By the way loving tshirt dress and boots.

just wanted to acknowledge the title.
"jesus christ" by brand new is just about the most surreally beautiful song.
thanks for all the posts. love your blog.
Love your "vintage fringe thing" ;-)
I have read your blog sometime around September 2008 and I've been such a fan that I've gone through your first post to your most current one.
I adore your style and observed how you've changed. It's great that you're so versatile with your choices and you pick timeless pieces.
I remember the time when you wore those distressed Levi's denim that was your brother's and I saw those amazing heels you wore when you took a picture with Colin's dog...I remember how it made my day when I read about you going to Paris and when you got to do a line with RVCA..
You've certainly come a long way and accomplished many. I will continue to read your blog and support you in whichever way possible.
Best,
Roxanne
These shoes are insane. Kinda perfect.

OBSESSED!!!!!!!

That is an odd looking belt but you know what? At the end of the day it looks good and you're rocking it, it can be a butt wipe for all I care ;)
Oh wow you're beautiful and so stylish! :)

i'm loving the brand new/jesus christ reference.
cool outfit. However.
That somewhat-of-a-ramble was kiiiind of the best thing EVER. It kinda-sorta makes me want to hang out with you and the berry-gatherer-man and talk about LASIK and how it would be an advantage in Neolithic times.

Colin never ceases to amaze me with how beautiful he makes, not just you, but the photograph as a whole.
As much as you deserve the credit for always looking good, here compliments to Colin for always capturing it.
Kudos Colin.
That loincloth-type-deal-thing IS SO RAD! You, as usual, are looking slender and pretty and unique.
http://watermelonfeet.blogspot.com
the "loincloth" addition is so odd but so good! at first i thought it was part of the dress but i love the double-belted-ness of it!

i love that song. i listen to jesus christ almost everyday. makes me a little depressed to be honest but i kinda like that.
that "thing" is amazing! this has to be my all-time favorite outfit of yours!
Saw it when you first posted it, and I'm loving it even more on you now.
Love everything! Where did you get the T-shirt dress? Never heard of the brand Scout?
Btw, your talk of the Neolithic period and cavemen made me think of that movie "Encino Man." Ever see it? Pauly Shore, Brendan Fraser and Sean Astin are in it. Classic 90s flick.
like the bag and the boots!!!
