Ok, so feeling a bit mumsy in what I'm wearing today... I can't really explain it but for some reason this combination just strikes me as... well, yeah, Mumsy. I can't think of any other way to put it. No matter though; it's comfy and it was warm earlier so it kept me cool whilst I was driving and now it's cooled off I've just shoved a boy jumper (Primark) with it.
I really like this combination of denim skirt (From friend of a friend) and a band tshirt (Gorillaz band shirt from a Clothes Show Live stand 2007). It's always so comfy and flexible to pretty much anything I do. Tights (Debenhams) are already falling apart though. I really should probably start forking out a bit more cos my Jonathan Ascot blue tights that I bought a few years ago are still going well and I haven't treated them any different to how I treat these ones. Damn.
Whilst in London yesterday did a little bit of a shopping as I mentioned in my blog last night about it. I didn't, however, mention that I also went into Selfridges and ended up buying a pair of tights to get another Selfridges bag. I know that's incredibly wrong that I was willing to fork out money to basically just get a bag. It did work out for the best in the end though because I found a pair of tights that I'd wanted for quite a while in Jonathan Ascot's range. Although it's just basic black fishnets, I've had real trouble finding them anywhere else in proper tights and at a reasonable price and just basic fishnets, not with anything fancy on them.
I was just hunting on Topshop's website for the dress I fell in love with yesterday in their flagship store that I couldn't afford (£55 for a simple cotton bandeau dress with an amazing skull print on it) and ended up having a quick glance in the hope that they may have the playsuit I want (bandeau denim shorts). I'm not normally a fan of playsuits, however, one like this is what I've wanted for ages. I finally found it, but I need some one to like donate me £45 so I can buy it. Look how pretty! So yeah, if you feel like donating me like £100 so I can buy the playsuit and go back and buy the dress as well, that'd be fab. Thanks; just leave a comment. :)
I've also been looking at some other fashion blogs - thank god for linkage through each other's blogs. Here's some interesting ones that I found:
Cheapskate Chic - Lovin' her style. She's based here in the UK as well it seems. Yay for British blogs. :)
Style Rookie - Liking this person's style of writing, it's somewhat crazy to an extent, but lovely none the less. An entertaining read.
Style Bubble - This one isn't a blogspot one but that doesn't matter to me. Am thoroughly enjoying her sense of style and thoughts of things. Must go through her archives for more fun readings.
And finally: Make Do & Mend has been on my mind a lot recently. I found this site on google when looking for some stuff for a friend who's got stuff for her textiles project based around the way clothing has changed between WWII and now. I covered fashion in WWII as mini project for History a few years back when I was still stuck at school and found some of my old stuff for her. But yeah, it's definitely got me thinking with money being tight for me and the entire world it seems at the moment. Gotta love a recession to increase your creativity.
