 SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS LEGGINGS:PRIMARK SCARF:EVANS

Two outfits in two days, I've impressed myself!

I love this shirt, in fact I love everything I'm wearing today. But I've got a problem.

I'm freezing cold.

It's winter now and i have completely fucking forgotten how to layer successfully.

I mean honestly, a long sleeve tee and a sheer shirt? What crack am i smoking? I was never gonna be warm!

I need to re-learn my winter fashion skillzz.

Because throwing a fur coat over everything is not good form!

Here's a picture of my face, slightly bewildered is my most used expression:

OH! My lippy is Barry M Punky Pink :)

SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS JEANS:ASDA SANDALS:EVANS VEST:H&M SUNGLASSES:NEW LOOK

This is what i wore on my actual day of birth on Wednesday. I had a very, very chilled out day but it was no less lovely and big thanks go out to the people who made it so :)

I'm very much in love with this shirt at the moment because it stops me getting fried by the sun but doesn't make me stupidly hot (who loves sheer, i do!!). These jeans were a gamble though, i love pastels but mostly on other people or in accessory form so i was a bit nervous buying them, i love them now though so i guess they just needed gothing up a bit!

Just because i can, here are some other photos from the day:

I asked my flatmate to take OOTD pictures and she started with snapping me trying to get up. Nice!

Here's me and the flat mate responsible, 'scuse my eye, it was trés sunny.

Finally, here's a picture of me cruising round campus on my friends bike: loving life <3

SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS DRESS:ASOS SHOES:NEW LOOK

As the title suggests i wore this for a night out, on Thursday. I'd bought the shoes that day (i am obsessed with turquoise right now!) and i threw this all together from the few bits of clothing i have that aren't joggers, t-shirts and leggings. If there is one thing i hate about uni life it is the fact that all my stuff is in two places and the clothes i always want to wear are never with me! But i guess i did alright with this one :)
I look so lost in the picture though, i am totally blaming the booze!
Speaking of booze, i don't remember many of the evening's minor details but i do remember at least 3 people makiing Beetlejuice comments RE my shirt, so i was right to name my other post about this item of clothing what i did then!

It's back to uni for me this weekend and straight into a metric butt load of work and deadlines so god knows when I'll be blogging again. It's shitty i know but, well, it's just shitty! I do have lots of stuff i want to write about though so i will try desperately to find the time!!!

SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS SHORTS:DIY TIGHTS:EVANS BOOTS:DR MARTENS

I have no idea what came over me but this afternoon i got crazy with eyeliner, over-flashed my photos and posed with a face like a slapped arse. For the record i'm pulling my shorts down in that second photo, because there is nothing worse than denim hotpants riding up your you know what...

This shirt arrived ages ago but for some silly reason i haven't worn it yet. It's so beautiful. The fabric, the buttons, the fit, the style. I don't have one complaint. It's longer in the back; which i love. It's baggy; which i love and it is striped; which i really love! Fit wise, i have a Medium which is something like a UK 14 but with room for fashionable oversized-ness. I think this would easily fit a person 2 sizes bigger than me (around a UK 26-28!?!) so if you're interested in getting it and they have some left; go grab one!

Not sure what i'm doing this weekend, so as far as outfits go it may be quiet however i will be doing a birthday post on Sunday as BMB turns one! And i;m off out on Monday night so there'll be an OOTD then!

Evil Twin

I'm not normally one for Labels/Designer Clothing. I like spending as little as possible because so much of my wardrobe is short term (i get bored easily!). I don't have an issue with paying more for better quality but part of me wrestles with the idea of paying for a name. Like, i'd love to own a Mulberry Alexa bag or a custom Vivienne Westwood dress but i also feel like i could employ an amazing leather worker or seamstress to create those things to an amzing standard of quality for me, at a fraction of the cost.
It's an eternal struggle my friends, i'd love to hear your views on it though so go nuts in your comments!

All of the above aside: on one of my lazy afternoons this week i went on a big ol' ASOS browse and stumbled across Evil Twin, here's what the ASOS blurb has to say about the label:

"Sydney-based label, Evil Twin, deliver a grungy, punk-inspired aesthetic throughout their stand-out collections. Fusing hard lines and gothic edges with feminine silhouettes, has become the signature Evil Twin style."

Loving that! Definitely an aesthetic i can relate to and one that i'm determined to werrrrrk this summer. Their size range isn't huge but most of the stuff is oversized so i wouldn't be afraid to try something if you like it.

These are some of my favourite pieces currently on their page and i actually ordered one yesterday so hopefully i can do an Evil Twin OOTD soon!
