Last day of odp

i feel a bit better that for the last week i wore my dress for 6 days. otherwise i wore it maybe 30 % of my time (mostly out of the house though - it doesn't mean that i was inside all the time however;).

it's been nice to have kind of a uniform. no clothing worries in the morning. :) i also think my dress has been very neutral - no one has commented anything on it. i think they have noticed it though - people always do. here it's just difficult to get an open reaction. people fear they are impolite or say something wrong. - i remember when i cut my hair very short, it was real weird of not getting any feed back about my radical hairless look.

but back to the dress... i hoped that this experiment would help me wear it more often. i succeeded in that. i also feel more comfortable wearing it which is a bonus. :) maybe later i should have a skirt&dress challenge for a summer...

happy dress day!

i'm still young and restless, so it's time for some radical minimalism. good logic, eh? ;) i'm joining a challenge of a blog called 'one dress protest' written by kristy powell. http://onedressprotest.com/2011/05/join-me-and-odp/

well, she has all these high ideals that she wants to achieve, but don't you think i have some sort of virtues in my mind when i'm starting. oh, no! i just want to test my limits (=do something radical but fairly unnoticeable), i happen to have a dress i rarely use, (which probably fits fine in most of the occasions in my future month) and i'm curious. i'm curious of what this experiment will bring into my life.

the only problem will be next week: i'm going out of town to a 5 days long "camp", where a group of people will spend time together very closely and where my washing opportunities might be scarce... since i'm not so serious about this i'll just have to take some spare clothes to replace the dress in case i can't wear it all of the days. anyways - exciting future lies ahead of me (despite maybe the "boring" clothing choices).

About finding one's DRESStiny...

also other women become happy on this miracle street even if they are not getting married in the near future... ;)

... i was trying to imagine how my blog could suddenly create a new tourism flow to the good old gdl...

this could be the respond for the new challenges of THE DRESS tourism:
change your life! find THE DRESS! we're inviting all of you to find your inner princess! in guadalajara it's possible! realize your dreams today and fly to guadalajara! your destiny is waiting for you... full satisfaction guaranteed!

Love and marridge

one of the most important days in mexican girl's life is her wedding day.
then the daddy's little princess can dazzle the whole world with a huge cream cake dream and finally be the queen of the day before settling down as a married and respectable 'ama de casa'.

wedding, as in all catholic countries, is a big business here (except among the poor who don't get married;) and is to be taken very seriously. the grand day just have to be perfect. it's not uncommon to see a couple riding in a limo and waving to the other mortals like the royal family of england.

however as we all know the bride is the one in the spotlight accompanied first by her father and later by her new husband and so she has to spend enormous amount of time and great consideration before deciding her entrée with THE DRESS. for this reason one whole walking street of guadalajara is almost fully dedicated just to the happy brides(much neglecting the poor fiancés offering only few choices for them) and to the big wallets of their not so happy fathers. these creations cost about 3000 pesos which means with the current rate less than 200 euros!

maybe the finnish brides should come here instead of heading to tallin for a less costly market? (can't believe i just invented new wedding dress tourism!;)


äitisuomennos: purjehtiminen avioliiton auvoiseen satamaan ei ole meksikossa helppoa. täydelliseen hääpäivään tarvitaan uhkea hääpuku, limusiini, isän paksu lompakko ja tietenkin sulhanen(mieluiten myöntyväinen - sulhasen kaappaus kun on nykypäivänä eettisesti erittäin tuomittavaa ja sitä paitsi ruokkii mustan pörssin kauppaa).


NOTE/OJO/HUOMIO! this post is dedicated to the two couples i know who got married last summer but to whose wedding i was unfortunately unable to attend. wish you all the best even when you didn't have mexican wedding dresses. ;) ... maybe i should buy mine as well from here? ;) i-iskää!!!
