Wearing a Parka, Festival Style

My parka is my main in-between coat. It's not coat heavy but it's also not too light so it works in the in between season change. The thing is a parka does tend to make everything you wear it with look like you're off to a festival and being the last day of September, festivals are already a distant memory.

The boots and bag are both new. I love the contrast of the black lines on the white of the bag and the boots are almost the perfect ankle length for a cankle sufferer such as I.

The outfit as a whole could easily veer from summery to autumnal but I added a dark berry lipstick to make it more seasonal.

Gah, 9-5 job, the daylight is fading, back to weekend only photographing soon enough. Winter really is a ballache for blogging.

Festival Fashion: Budget vs. Blowout

My total outfit cost: About £60 vs. Amy's total outfit cost: About £280

Festival season is truly upon us and finally the weather has followed suit. This is my little sister, Amy. Unlike her wise, older sister, Amy is partial to a pricy item or two and really doesn't bargain hunt quite like me. So we thought it would be a good idea to do some blog posts featuring similar looks, one that's cheap and the other more expensive.

Annoyingly, I didn't put a lot of thought into my festival outfit and far prefer Amy's outfit, thus defying my point a little bit. However, you can still see the basic similarities and idea that you can get the same look for less.
