Avoiding the Rash

Can you see the sun?  Can you see it?  Plenty of it is flooding here and it's blinding both me and the boyf.  I'm also insisting that he is burning whilst he reckons he's um…'tanning'.  I have my doubts.  My issues with heat really does rage when it comes the jewellery.  At the best of times (i.e. winter…), I start rashing after 20 minutes of metal jewellery wearing.  At the current temperature, the rash flares up more rapidly and actually spreads to other areas where the jewellery isn't touching my skin (just call me Rash, newest and most useless member of X-Men…). 

So with necklaces like the beautiful woven yarn necklace by Daydream Nation, I'm in a bit of a pickle.  With their latest collaboration with Urban Outfitters, entitled 'Dreamers', which is an inexpensive version of their mainline jewellery, it's even more of a no-no, given that it's  made with more 'affordable' materials', cute as the woven/metal necklaces and bracelets are.  Therefore, I'll just have to stick them somewhere else in the sun and so in they tuck, in and around the Bordelle elastic corset…

Hah!  I like to see you try and make my skin pus now, you evil rash…

  1. Sorry to hear about your rash problems, I’m allergic to metal so I understand… however it looks like you’ve come up with a great solution!

  6. the sun makes you look like you’re glowing!
    hehe loving that new photo of you which replaced the topshop newton machine (?) one. this new photo makes it look like you’re crying/taking a dump 🙂
    love that you’re a blogger who can laugh at yourself susie!

  11. Is it base metals you’re allergic to, or also silver, platinum, gold, etc?

  13. Great work — that looks amazing. Sorry about the metal allergy — is it just base metals or do silver & gold bother you as well?
    (PS… my X-Men character is “Shambles.” I have the amazing ability to make things fall apart/stop working just by looking at them.)

  15. OMG I have the very same problem!!!
    damn evil rash!!!
    That’s one (of the many rasons) why I hate summer..
    anyway…
    lovely outfit 🙂

  16. That works so well, it looks fantastic!
    Would never occur to me to do something like that.. Although I doubt any of my necklaces are long enough to go around the waist instead and I don’t own anything corset-y enough to hold one in place!
    I have some metal items I can’t wear on my skin, I get around it by wearing them over rollnecks. Does mean I can only wear them when it’s cold – but, as a Londoner that’s not too limiting!

  18. You are a genius, Susie.
    Before we know it, designers will be creating corsets with such a feature.

  19. The knits are so pretty! And with those bright colours, you can get away with wearing the knitted necklace in the summer.

  22. I completely love this outfit. Its everything I am really into right now. Sporty/ Corsets/ White/ Neon.
    This is my most favorite outfit of yours. Goes straight into my inspiration folder.

  26. Somehow I always see your outfit posts on days when I’m going to be stuck in work dress code. 🙁
    Maybe I’ll take a page out of your book and sneak some jewelry in…

  27. Very cute, I love the corset too. For me I cannot stand wearing polyester during the summer… so hot and sticky… ick! right now, i’m really into ogranic fabrics, like cotton. i found this really cool blog that has tons of great products like that called guffly.

  29. that corset is amazing. i’ve chosen to stay pale this summer but i think i might need my tan back as armour against the continual blast of sunlight here. ugh.
