Paisley & Stripes

• Jacket - Zara (charity shop)
• Shirt - Dad’s
• Jeans - River Island
• Boots - charity shop

I was meaning to go back to these jeans that I bought about two years ago, but suddenly thought that with green hair it might look a bit like Beetlejuice! Then I thought ‘why not’ and for half the day I had a black and white striped jumper on too. Then I switched to paisley and this gorgeous soft smart jacket that was such a bargain find, and is going to smarten up so many outfits! I wore this to a gig in the evening topped off with a bowler hat too.

I’m not sure what to do with my hair at the moment, I’m really wanting to grow it and have finally got past the shoulder length stage that I usually hack it back off at….question is now, what colour? Stay green for a bit, add something to the top?

Spots & Checks

• Fake fur coat - vintage
• Dress - USC
• Brogues - eBay
• Cardigan - charity shop

Of course my camera would run out of battery after taking one photo against a white wall on the high street! Typical. This dress is so 60s and I love it, I’m just not quite sure how it sits on a figure like mine - shift dresses aren’t quite right, thoughts?? Anyway, I thought I’d wear it with my fluffy coat and pointy brogues for a 60s/Mod-inspired look, even though I’d definitely be a rocker….

White Bow Ties

• Dress - H&M
• Cardi - Topshop (charity shopped)
• Hat - Joy
• Boots - Marks & Spencer (charity shopped)

I am going to make a real effort to post much more from now on - I've had so much uni work to be getting on with recently, and a study trip to Berlin that was absolutely fantastic, but I have really neglected blogging and I want to use it a lot more to share my outfits. It's so hard to find the time these days, but I'm excited to share so many great new items I've found recently. Here I'm wearing a simple tea dress from H&M with a chunky cardi and my leather chelsea boots. The turquoise socks add a pop of colour and matches the turquoise in my hair, and I think the pastel pink clashes rather nicely.
