Thrift Shirt







I found this shirt ages ago in a charity shop after being inspired by endless Clothes Encounters videos. It's been sat in my drawers for a while before I re-discovered it and re-appreciated it once again. It's such a fugly pattern and colour but it has a great shape and a really defined collar, so I sort of love its ugliness.

Since the whole outfit is quite neutral, I jjj-d it up a bit with the statement necklace and my favey fave purple lipstick. Lipstick is the best.

It's definitely getting into in-betweeny weather with regards to coat wearing. I can guarantee if I leave the house in just a shirt (and trousers, you pervert) I'll be cold but if I wear a coat I will be a sweaty mess. How has anyone in history coped with this very real problem?

Ladylike


 My favourite thing about this look, surprisingly, is the white tee. Everyone needs one in their wardrobe and somehow I have got through life, until only very recently, without one.

The polka dot midi skirt I found some time ago in a charity shop, I'm um-ing and ah-ing about whether it needs taking up a little. What do you think? Too long?

I often find with my style that I dress very young and while 23 isn't old, I think there's no harm in getting a bit ladylike now and then. That said, my need for chunky hi tops isn't going anywhere. I didn't want to look too mumsy so I balanced it all out a little with clashing leopard print ballet pumps.

Thrift Find


 Just a little post to feature my new shirt that I found in a charity shop for a grand total of £1. It's a bit on the big side but I like things oversized and I couldn't really go wrong for a pound. What caught my eye was the contrast down the middle with the buttons and this is matched on the cuffs but you can't see because I rolled them up.
