TSHIRT:TESCO/DIY SHORTS:THRIFT/DIY CARDIGAN&TIGHTS:EVANS BOOTS:DR MARTENS

So, so, soooo many pictures i know, but i freakin love this outfit. I dyed the t-shirt and cut up the shorts all by myself :) I was so happy with how the tee came out but the shorts need more work, I'm thinking more rips and some studs...

Considering i am now home for summer, the weather has been abysmal! I'm talking torrential rain and grey skies pretty much solidly since i left Worcester. Part of me is all, fuck you English Summer because i can't ride my bike and my pictures are all dark and fuzzy, then the other part is actually pretty okay with it, cos i can get my goth on without worrying about my face melting off!

The lipstick in this post is new (it's this amazing dark purple grape-y colour despite these pics making it look black) and it has inspired me to start doing some make-up/general beauty products posts. So yeah, keep an eye out for those!

It's good being home because of my beautiful white walls that make a perfect backdrop <3

COAT:VINTAGE DRESS&LEGGINGS:DOROTHY PERKINS BAG:ASOS SHOES:NEW LOOK

I just got in from yummy food and delicious cocktails with beautiful company. I only wanted to post because of my love for this coat, isn't it stunning? I spotted it in a vintage shop and then my dad bought it thinking he could pull it off with jeans and a t-shirt, he can't, but that's fine because i get primary use of the thing (he insists on calling it his!) I bet a bunch of you are LOL-ING your faces off at the thought of a grown ass man wearing a women's purple faux fur coat but to be fair to him, he does love the 70's trippy shit and if he strolled about in Hendrix like ensembles he could probably make it work. Problem is, he doesn't. My dad is a man of cargo pants and t-shirts, which is fine, but doesn't really work with eccentric outerwear : )
