Adapted Top

The top that i adapted is the grey one on top. Firstly i cut the sleeves off then tied them back together again. As you can see at the bottom . Then i cut the bottom of the top off to make the ruff at the top. I made the ruff by cutting slits and sort of looping them together. These are all techniques i learnt in textiles and i loooooove them.
The leggings are from topshop - £10
Camel blouse is from zara in spain - 11 euros
White shirt is from miss slefidge - £18

Clothes Show live

Hello .... Today i ventured up to the northern colder city of birmingham to go to the clothes show live. It is apprently supposed to help us with our textiles coursework , but personally i dont really see how.  Firstly we were outrageously made to wear uniform so i just adapted mine ever so slighlty :L .Anyway being forgettful as always i forgot water and a camera so i couldnt take any photos of the actual show. But to be honest the outfits wern't THAT good , thye were nice and all but a bit tacky. But i guess it was good inspiration. I am so blatently going to use a wild west crossed with space theme for my final textiles outcome thanks to the inspiration that the show gave me :L. But don't get me wrong i loved it there , there were goodie bags around every corner that you turned and millions and million and trillions ... infact google (gasp) amount of stalls selling makeup , food , clothes , shoes , jewellry etc. It was amazing in that aspect. Plus loads of the small brands like motel and annie greeanble who's clothes are sold in places like asos and topshop for £40-£60 , were being sold there for £10-£30. I was quite proud of myself as i only brought £30 which was quite low compared to most people and ( it gets better....) i only spent £20.
I actually bought a burberry patterned dress from VintageMotel - its so chavy that it makes it classy ( if that works) and a top from YourEyesLie which is quite plain and grey with a big black dot on the front. It was only cheap so i thought i'd by it an adapt it , which i did as soon as i got home.

Overall i had a great day out and a day off school ( nice cheesy ending) and lived happily ever after...
Please excuse the hair ... it had been a long day

  Firstly Sorry they are the wrong way round .... I'm writing this quickly while alexandra burke is singing on the results show.... ( i dislike her and jls should've won) anyhow , yes..... eer.
This is my outfit that i wore to the vintage fair in brighton.
At the moment im very keen on thigh high socks and have been practically living in them for the past week. I dont really like the black ones but i love the grey and white ones.
My dress is from Topshop and my cardigan is my mums.
My socks are from the one and only marks and spencer.
That day i actually bought a pair of joyful looking bananna yellow tapered trousers which i plan to wear with my leopard print coat. They are so cool , maybe even blinding.

Tweed Trousers ( we're gonna get married one day)

I frickin love these trousers - phrehaps a little too much .
I wore this outfit into town to do some christmas present "recomendations" to my mum.
