Welcome to the Klinik - the place to cure your wardrobe's existential crisis! Dr.Eva is in the house, giving the clothes another chance and saving the world one garment at a time...

The Mature Student -skirt




Living next to the university campus one tends to think one can blend in in the sea of students only forgetting that one is nearly two decades their senior. Should Eva ever consider re-entering the student life she could well do it in this denim skirt.
The operation was fairly simple: the length and the width of the skirt were predetermined by the size of the triangles cut from the legs - all eight of them were inserted in regular intervals around the skirt. The seams were left unfinished avoiding hem to become too stiff, simultaneously giving the skirt an interesting rugged look. And what more can Eva want from a good old denim skirt!?

The 'OOPS! I Dropped My Pencil!" -skirt




OK. Eva knows that you are not supposed to wear this kind of skirts at 35 unless you are Gwen Stefani. But does Eva care? No! The wool blend full lined trousers were purchased on a desperate attempt to acquire a respectable office job. The trousers were never fond of me, nor was I of them (or the 9 to 5, for that matter). However, the fish bone tweed inspired some outrageous salsa experiment and although daringly short, the volume of the hem flows fabulously.

Eva might recommend using two pairs of trousers for the next experiment; however, a lady's decency is never threatened with this mini-mini even if she has to bend down to pick up the pencil! The secret is the original lining of the trousers cut off to shorts under the skirt. No need to worry about flashing knickers while salsa-ing the night away.
There was no left-over material as the belt was created with the redundant middle-pieces of the salsa-circles, concealing nicely the skirt's previous identity.
