*ps* pls help vote on the poll on the left sidebar for my school project if you have a moment to spare :) each vote would really help me !
for the whole moment I've actively blogged, I've never really talked much about the things in my country. I mean I give some coverage of the bazaars and events that happen, but that's only when it's related to fashion.
Last week was an important national proclamation called "Hari Kartini". That day was dedicated for Raden Ayu Kartini. If you're wondering who she is, well she's one person all Indonesian women should thank for. So today, I'm dedicating this post to her deeds of women's rights for Indonesians.
**of course i wouldnt be throwing you a pile of history cards -ive had enough of history during my GCSE days anyway- the outfit and stuff im sharing is very much related to kartini**
i feel that flickr is making my photos not as good when i post em up..they look sorta cracked..anybody recommend me other good picture uploaders?please dont say photobucket or tinypic.. i love photobucket, but their bandwidth limit will fuck my blog up and tinypic loads pics for centuries..
Batik dress from Bali, Zara grandma cardigan, vintage belt, lace skirt from Bandung, Louis Vuitton cup bag.
if you look closely on the right picture, you'll see that im holding something :) [this is sorta a lame guessing game.. anyway, its a clicker remote.. first time taking these pics with the remote.. must say its a GREAT buy !!]
the dress was like 20cm below my knees when i bought it.. so i brought it to the tailor and cut it cut off all the way to mid-thighs ! got this tiered lace skirt from Heritage outlet at Bandung for around $9..not bad at all..
still on Kartini, I went to a pre-kinder school above the supermarket I usually go when I'm short of food. Turns out they were having some kartini day event too.. I couldn't resist taking some snapshots of them in some of Indonesia's many traditional clothing ! hope it gives you a nice idea of the clothing styles we have here :)
sadly my brain lacks knowledge on where ALL (yes im that bad..) of these outfits are from.. so any indo readers out there, please help me out :)
i know this chubby girl represents Bali ! ha !
ps. dont forget to check out my interview with Walk of Fashion
