Beetlejuice

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!
