Model it like a curse half disguised


Title lyrics "Parallel Lines" by the Junior Boys.

It was my mum's birthday today and we're off out for dinner than to the cinema. Here's what I'm wearing:

'scuse my daft expression, but I honestly didn't realise it was being taken...



* Leatherette Jacket, £40, Unknown
* Lace Dress, £25, Dorothy Perkins
* Belt, £5, American Apparel
* Stocking tights, £8, Topshop
* 'Once Upon A Time' necklace, £15, Dorothy Perkins
* Shoes, £7, Thrifted


My look was kind of inspired by Taylor Momsen, mostly because of my new suspender tights - which fit perfectly into the current 'underwear as outerwear' trend that's been featured on this season's catwalks by the likes of Jean-Paul Gaultier and Dior.
Soo, Underwear as Outerwear ayy??? Well, it's doesn't mean doing a Superman and wearing bright red undies over your leggings (you could try it... though I wouldn't really recommend it)
Some ways you could achieve this trend; teaming delicate babydoll dresses with bold tailored jackets, lace bodices, corsets, crop tops, slips, camisoles, silk petticoats, stockings / over-knee socks, and most importantly confidence! The look can also be toughened up a bit with bold zips, ripped tights and biker boots.

Warning: This is a pretty head-turning trend that may pose certain risks to those of the opposite sex... potentially causing an increased heart beat, which may result in them shouting random sexual comments at you in their distracted state, as they walk directly into a lampost.... not that lil' old me could ever cause such an incident ;) ahaha.

I just opened a christmas cracker (yes, I know we're in June ^^) but my family pull out the christmas crackers on every possible occasion. Oh they're amazingly cool... anyway, I got a joke for ya'

"What do you get if you cross a fridge and a stereo?"
- Cool music.

ahahaha :') .... yeahhh, I know, it's not funny.

Ahh well my darling bloggers, have a lovely evening!
"See y'all on the flipside, aiight!" .... naaah, I'm not cool enough to pull that off.
