Recycling..

Top- Vintage (via Gran)

Jeans- Topshop (Jamie)

Belt- Vintage (via Dad)

Today I have managed to recycle the fashion staples of two decades of Clark's, my dad and my Gran. Both unlikely sources of fashion but when put together manage to create a rather nice outfit. The shirt is a vintage silk, it's meant to be high necked but that wasn't really working for me today. Therefore I pulled the buttons open and folded back the collar. It has quite a cute nautical pattern to it with lots of tiny anchors dotted all over it. The sleeves I found a little annoying, they were quite puffy around the shoulder but personally i think this was due to the shirt being a little big. A few months ago I went through my grans wardrobe looking for vintage pieces and it didn't dissapoint. As a little girl I used to love playing dress up in all her old and fabulous heels. Pretend I was a princess or a rich lady for a few hours. Dress up is something I still have a passion for. However now it is done seriously rather than for fun, I spend most of my life worrying about what to wear rather than doing the other things such as uni work that will make me go places. Clothes it is without a doubt one of the major players in cheering me up when I am down perhaps that is why I spend so much time and money on shopping. Anyway I decided today for the jeans and shirt the relaxed yet smart option. I was only after all going to Nando's for a bit of tea. That was delicious, creamy mash is defiantly a luxury to the food world. The outfit was tied together with the vintage brown belt, which added definition to the whole outfit as well as breaking the elements apart.
