Hair - The Blow, Scarf - Boohoo, Jacket - c/o Oh My Love London, White Tee - Primark, Culottes - Primark, Boots - c/o Dorothy Perkins
To be honest, this outfit was 'mehhh'. Nothing too swish or majorly on trend, just comfort for a quick trip out round the antiquesy places. It was a couple of weeks back now (forever finding snaps lurking in iPhoto that I completely forgot about), just after I'd had my hair done at The Blow.. I'd managed to make the plaits last overnight and quickly shoved it in a ponytail. I've since tried replicating that big chunky braid and mine are just nowhere near as good.. Back to the YouTube tutorials to practise ha.
Here I mostly wanted to get my culottes worn. I just cannot work out how to wear them while it's still cold.. Any ideas?! I'm not sure if tights will look totally ridiculous and I'm definitely too much of a wimp to brave them with bare legs. I'm hoping I can still wear them over spring/summer without looking like I'm beyond late to the culottes party.
I'm currently on the hunt for a camel/grey long coat that will last me for winters beyond - hence the trip to a few vintage spots. I want something good quality, but seeing as I'm forever doing things cheap I also want a bargain. I've seen loads of beautiful ones but up to now they've all been tent like on me. Along the way I did manage to pick up a few teacups & some other little trinkets for the house I will one day own (right now I can maybe afford a brick..). I love going round these places jam packed full of every kind of antique. The initialed suitcases were my favourites.. I like getting a little carried away wondering who E.M.N might have been!
