Two-way street.





So I decided to wear the same blouse two ways in the spirit of being economical and ~creative~. I think I took it a bit too far, though, seeing as how I ended up wearing the blouse on its own in an attempt to pass it off as a dress. I always buy XXXL blouses in the pathetic hope that I would be able to wear it as a dress...but they are always, 9/10 times, too short. I did love the colour of this blouse, though, and the funky kaleidoscope contained in the button at the neck.

Blouse: Thrifted.
Cardigan: Thrifted.
Boots: Fake Docs from K-Mart.
Belt: Thrifted.
Satchel: Thrifted.



Also the weather is getting warmer and warmer. WHO'S EXCITED FOR SPRING/SUMMER? I AM. No stockings, air con, windows open at night, boxers, icy poles, THE BEACH, tanned skin, flip flops, tank tops, hair ties.





This Obama badge is actually from my wreck of a schoolbag. Originally there were letter badges that spelled out O-B-A-M-A, and one by one they all fell off, scattered everywhere around my school playground until it was just O-A-*Obama face*.

Blouse: Thrifted.
Blazer: Children's, thrifted.
Shorts: Mom jeans thrifted + DIY.
Boots: Fake docs from K-mart.
Tangled ass hair: School.
Obama badge: From a set off eBay.
Belt: Thrifted.
Unzipped fly: Priceless.

"Unzipped fly: Priceless." this is a prostitute joke waiting to happen.

I like both these outfits, even if the first one is short, the cardigan saves you. Love what you did with the shorts as well, not the open fly but the DIY!

If anyone looks good with a unzipped fly, its you! I love both of these outfits so much. This blouse is killing me, I have wanted one exactly like it for so long. Ah, I will keep wishing and it will come soon. I love your obama badge too - I love that man. Hope you have an amazing rest of your Sunday. x

Hannah said...

farr outtt, i just typed this whole thing.. like 5 sentences anyway.. and it all just disappeared . balls.

anyway, it summarized with me saying were meant to be together, because your outfit coincided with an email i just received.
probs best that it was all deleted then haha

anyway, this is one of my favourite outfits youve done!x

Loving both looks, especially the bag in the first look... and pretty much everything about the second, lol.

As usual you look absolutely adorable. I love how you took one shirt and turned it into two completely different but equally chic outfits.

Sincerely, Sarah Margeurite
