Outfit of the Day: Monochrome Animal.




Top: Zara via eBay, Jacket: Vintage, Jeans & Socks: Primark, Jellies: ASOS (borrowed) & Backpack: Urban Outfitters

Hello, 

I went off to the National History Museum today and was wearing my animal and floral printed monochrome top, fitting in with all the other animals! Always got to love a bit of black and white in my opinion. I also borrowed these black jelly shoes, which have a low heel from my flatmate - we do a lot of clothes sharing. I love the, and if you're considering buying some, these are a lot easier to style than I expected.

Outfit of the Day: Twin Set/Two Piece.





Skirt & Top: Vintage, Jacket: MuuBaa, Bracelets: Anna Dello Russo for H&M and Whistles, Scalf: Cos & Boots: H&M

Hello, 

Here is my two piece, it was originally a vintage 70's  midi dress which I got made into a shorter skirt and crop top. I'm very happy about this, so many more options...though likely to be worn together more than anything else. How are you feeling about going for a matchy-matchy look? Also these are my new H&M boots. I've been craving some cut-out shoes for a while and was just waiting for the right ones at the right price. Officially my new staple.

Double Denim Dresses

Outfit of the Day: Dungarees, Overalls...Man Repellers!






Dungarees: Rokit, Shirt: H&M, Ring: ASOS, Bracelet: Whistles, Bag: Primark & Shoes: Boohoo

Hello, 

So here they are finally, I've had these and been wearing them around the house for a while...but I needed to get them tapered as they were real wide ankle swingers before. I'm pretty happy the 90's revival have brought these back around, I've had short pairs for years but I'm enjoying going full length. They are incredibly comfortable, though not necessarily the most figure enhancing of items! They feel a lot like wearing pyjamas. I also realise that they are unlikely to be deemed as very attractive by men (though I know many men have wonderful fashion appreciation), a notion I am not unfamiliar with. I have a friend who is fashionable, but definitely in a elegant and classy way, a look which is very man friendly. She occasionally jokes with me about how man unfriendly my outfits are! 

Now, don't get me wrong, I am man aware and I would like a man to appreciate how I look, but not to the point that it would ever change what I wear. Something that is championed by the wonderful Leandra at The Man Repeller, a blog I have long since adored. Something in fact that said friend recently sent me a link to as she thought I would like it..she was right. What do you think of the average man's fashion opinions?

Inspiration: Reality Bites.



Hello, 

I watched Reality Bites last night and I really loved some of the outfits - particularly Vicky's spotted collar dresses. Now I don't want to completely re-live the nineties...partly as for some reason it seems that unwashed hair was a trend for men! But, a touch of grunge to some outfits I am enjoying. What do you think?
