The boots didn&rsquo;t quite get the memo today.&rdquo;<br style=&#8220;color: #0c1014; font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&#8221; /></p>

        				<p>&rdquo;I thrifted the <a href="https://gem.app/search?terms=pink%20Adidas%20pants">pants</a> and jacket on a holiday in Athens a couple years ago and the top is a find from UFF four-euro day. My bag is from Vinted and the jewellery is gifted to me by my loved ones. I&rsquo;m known for wearing pink in most of my everyday outfits. I want to embrace the femininity and playfulness associated with the colour, even if some people might consider it childish or unprofessional.&rdquo;<br style=&#8220;color: #0c1014; font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&#8221; /></p>

        				<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m wearing a shirt and shorts from Gina Tricot and New Yorker that I bought a few years ago. I&rsquo;m also wearing tights that I customized myself, as well as boots from my mother. All the jewelry is also either from her or thrifted. Lately I&rsquo;ve been inspired by my friends and the people around me, as well as all the different art that I consume. I like to wear a lot of more interesting clothing, which is why a lot of my clothes are thrifted, handmade, or handed down from my mother or grandmother. I&rsquo;m also inspired by the people I see on the streets or on social media, and I love to experiment with my style and try different things.&rdquo;<br style=&#8220;color: #0c1014; font-family: -apple-system, &quot;system

        				<p>&ldquo;The boots and kids&rsquo; pants (for 13-year-olds) are from a vintage store in Krakow. Those built the base for my outfit. The skirt and <a href="https://gem.app/search?terms=black%20corset">corset</a> are from a gothic second hand store in Helsinki that my best friend showed me because she knows my style. The sports t-shirt is from my ex. Accessories from memories, with a little extra touch, I did myself. Going out of my comfort zone and staying true to myself: edgy, crazy, wanna-be simple inspires my style. Flow Festival inspired me as a place where many beautiful people come together and diversity is embraced.&rdquo;</p>

        				<p>&ldquo;I thrifted the dress in Luxembourg and the shirt in Simpele (at the best thrift store in Finland). The shoes are from a random sports store and tights from Lindex. I only buy my shoes and underwear new. My friend made the shorts, the bag is my mom&rsquo;s old, and the jewelry is collected from different places among the years.&rdquo;</p>

        				<p>&ldquo;My head scarf is inspired by my grandfather, Edvin, who wore it while kayaking. The shirt is made by the amazing Alex Luonto, and it was a wedding gift from last weekend. The shorts were 1&euro; at a secondhand store. The <a href="https://gem.app/search?terms=Japanese%20vintage%20kimono">kimono</a> is my wife&rsquo;s, Japanese vintage bought in Japan. The tassels are no.carb. Inspiration: Contemporary thought and playfullness. Sometimes the old man inside me blooms.&rdquo;</p>

        				<p>&ldquo;My style is mostly streetwear-inspired. I wear a lot of thrifted, loaned, handmade, and DIY pieces. In this particular outfit, I wore a hooded top made by my dear friend, a loaned skirt from another friend and the widest adidas pants I own. Also wearing a lot of thrifted and gifted accessories. All in all, the most important thing for me is comfortability and sustainability, and my biggest inspirations are my cool and amazing friends who I love and respect so much.&rdquo;</p>

        				<p>&ldquo;This outfit is inspired by cute things! Especially I&rsquo;m inspired by fairies and mermaids at the moment. I&rsquo;ve loved clothes and second hand shopping since I was little, and I can thank my mom for that. I got the used boots as a gift from my brother. The wool scarf around my bag is also a second hand find. I&rsquo;m borrowing these sunglasses from my friend. I&rsquo;m wearing my confirmation cross neckless, and I also have a lace ribbon found in a sewing box wrapped around another necklace. The bag and the orchids hanging in my hair were bought new.&rdquo;</p>

        				<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m wearing red stockings, leopard print panties, <a href="https://gem.app/search?terms=pointy%20black%20boots">pointy black boots</a> with buttons on the side, a purple translucent shirt with a lace hem and mixed bangles. I like how the colors are bold but the textures are flowy and delicate. Everything else is thrifted except the stockings. My style is inspired by vintage fashion, found and inherited pieces, and my own mood that day. I&rsquo;m pretty quiet so dressing up feels like a way to express myself loudly without having to use words. I usually start with one piece that speaks to me that day and build the outfit around it, like this time the red stockings.&rdquo;<br style=&#8220;color: #0c1014; font-family: -apple-sy

        				<p>&ldquo;Flea markets, metropolises, and their public transportation inspire me, and people watching is a great joy of mine. I love the mix of cute and weird. Mostly I&rsquo;m led by intuition. Also I despise getting cold. The leather jacket was passed to me by a friend of my partner, unasked. I love the patina. The dress, pants, and bag are thrifted. The bag is <a href="https://gem.app/search?terms=Desigual%20bag">Desigual</a> and the dress is also from some Spanish brand, supposedly from the early 2000&rsquo;s.&rdquo;</p>

        				<p>&ldquo;I think pre-loved clothes tell the coolest stories - the art of living makes them special. I alter my clothes, cut, and sew. Whatever you do, do you. I&rsquo;m inspired by having fun.&rdquo;</p>

        				<p>&ldquo;Today I&rsquo;m wearing a <a href="https://gem.app/search?terms=Bj%C3%B6rk%20logo%20shirt">Bj&ouml;rk logo shirt</a>, and I layered a plaid skirt with wide hakama pants. I got the shirt at a Bj&ouml;rk gig couple of years back and it holds many memories. It especially reminds me of my Twin brother, who is another big Bj&ouml;rk listener. I try to balance my festival wear with comfortable elements, so no high heel boots or multiple layers this time!&rdquo;</p>
