Meet "business" Saskia, part 2

 Month number 4, Task 4

Kada vidite slike, možda ćete se zapitati: šta je ovde business stil? No, kao što objasnih u prethodnom "business" postu, taj stil u mom poslu ima neko sasvim drugo značenje. Moglo bi se reći da se kod mene "business" i "casual" nekad spajaju. 

///////

When you see the photos, u`ll probably wonder: what exactly is "business" here? However, as I have explained in my previous "business" post, that kind of style in my job position has a completely different meaning. It could be said that in my case "business" and "casual" sometimes intertwine.

Opet veoma važni detalji.... //////////// Again, very important details...

... i naravno cipele - moj najnoviji outfit fetish! Zanimljiva priča vezana za ove cipele je da sam ih dobila od koleginice, čijoj ćerki su bile male. Inače sam na poslu najsitinija od svih koleginica, te mi vrlo često donose garderobu koja je mala njima ili njihovoj deci. U početku mi je bilo neprijatno zbog toga, ali sada mogu da priznam da u meni uglavnom prevlada čista sreća kada mi nešto donesu, jer kao malo dete otvaram kesu, a čak mi nije ni rođendan :)

... and, of course, shoes - my newest outfit fetish! Interesting story about these shoes is that I got them from a coleague of mine, to whose daughter these shoes were small. I am the smallest of all the coleagues of mine, so they very often bring me wardrobe which is small for them, or for their daughters. In the beginning I was uncomfortable about that, but now I have to admit that I`m usually overwelhmed by pure happiness when they bring me something, and I, as a little child, am about to open the "present bag", when it`s not even my birthday :)

 Kada kupim nove cipele, kao da mi gori vatra u stopalima :)

When I buy new shoes, there`s like fire in my feet :)

Month number 2 - Task 4

KAKO DA SAMI NAPRAVITE CIPELE - TUTORIAL /////// HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SHOES - TUTORIAL

Malo je falilo da bacim ove divne cipele... ///// I was about to throw these beautiful shoes away...

Zbog ovoga: ////  Because of this:

I onda sam na Internetu videla da su neki ljudi svoje stare cipele prekrivali heklerajima. Hm? Odlučih da probam i ja. Nemam šta da izgubim, ionako sam htela da ih bacim.. Evo kratkog tutorijala kako sam ih "sredila". Od materijala vam je potrebno:

hekleraj

(neko platno od nekog punog materijala) - ovo vam treba ako vam boja hekleraja nije ista kao cipele

štipaljke

lepak za platno i četkica

makaze

čačkalica.

/////////////////////////

And then I saw on Internet that some people were covering their old shoes with doilies. Hm? I`ve decided to try that also. I didn`t have anything to lose. I was planning to throw them anyway. Here`s a short tutorial of how I "did" them. From the material you`ll need:

doilie

(some cloth form a thick material) - u will need this if the colour of the shoes isn`t the same as the doilie

clothespins

Mod podge

scissors

toothpick.

Pošto bi komplikovano bilo da prekrijem celu cipelu odjednom, odlučila sam da prvo prekrijem prednji deo: //////////////// Since it would be complicated to cover the shoe all at once, I`ve decided to first cover the front part:

.. i onda deo sa strane... //// .. and then the part from the side...

Pričvrstite štipaljkom platno uz prednji deo cipele, i premažite prednji deo lepkom. //////// Fix the cloth to shoe with a clothespin, and put glue to the front part of the shoe.

Makazama isecite deo platna oko cipele i malo pričvrstite štipaljkama. /////// Cut the rest of the cloth with scissors and fix the cloth to the shoe with clothespins, so that it glue well.

Isto uradite i sa ostalim delovima cipele, pa je potom premažite lepkom još jednom. ////// You do the same with the rest part of the shoe, and then put glue over it again.

Uradite isto sa heklerajem, samo što od njega jedan deo zalepite i za unutrašnji deo cipele, kako se ne bi gulio i cepao dok hodate. Pričvrstite štipaljkama. ////// Do the same with the doilie, but now glue one part of it to the inner part of the shoe too, so that it doesn`t cut or peel while you are walking. Fix it with clothespins.

Dok je cipela još mokra od lepka, čačkalicom je oblikujte pri krajevima, naročito kod đona. ////// While the shoe is still wet from the glue, shape it with a toothpick, especially at the sole.

Ostavite da odstoji preko noći... I kada se probudite, dobićete ovo: ///// Let it leave dry during the night, and, when you wake up, you will get this:

I got new shoes, tra lala lala...
