outsapop answered my pleas, and posted that tutorial on how to make a recycled lightning bolt sweater, over at cut out and keep, and on her own website! yay!

(i mentioned her amazing sweater recon and begged her for instrux my last (not so) random links post, ‘member?)

see also: some of outsa’s other terrific refashioning projects at cut out and keep, including how to make a zipper necklace/collar, how to make good use of neckties, and how to make an 80s-inspired boxy tee.

these surprisingly sophisticated overalls are from san francisco’s own harputs market, purveyors of their own small collection of clothing (to which said overalls belong) and avant guarde labels like maison martin margiela and pleasure principle.

i have a secret obsession with workwear…denim, denim jackets, jumpsuits, overalls, and the like. things that are sturdy, stiff, things that have intention and use, even if they aren’t used as intended and are merely worn for the purposes of satisfying and answering the call of one’s aesthetic whims. i like said workwear in all colors, textures, and interpretations. which explains why i love this…

now, if only those overalls above came in denim…(har.)

p.s. i found out about the shop via garbage dress, the intriguing blog of an intriguing gal, zana, who works there. i am delighting in her obsessions and insights and doings…though the life she stylishly leads and the objects over which she obsesses are not anything like my own. which makes her and all of it all the more interesting to me. anyone else like this? inspired and moved by those NOT like you, not just those like you?
