An insight to the thoughts and outfits of a twenty something year old trudging through the 'best years of her life' in a modern society
I found this dress in a local charity shop and once again, I cannot find anything remotely similar but I have added some links to some other out-there prints for you to try. Paired with some simple trainers and a good pair of earrings and you’re onto a winner.
If you like to stand out, bold and in-your-face prints are perfect and you should definitely have something like this in your wardrobe. It’s most certainly a head-turner.
And yes, I know, I’m a flag or a chess board or a kitchen floor.
This is for inspiration only as I could not find anything on the whole of the world wide web that even slightly resembles anything I’m wearing in this photo – which in any other circumstance is absolutely ideal.
The yellow polo is from a vintage shop called Time Machine Vintage in the centre of Amsterdam and it is the best shop I have ever been to. Everything from branded polo’s to beautiful 80’s trousers (mine). The rails are perfectly colour coded and the owner has picked out only the very best and most unique items of clothing to sell to his buyers. It was truly wonderful.
To top it off the 80’s shirt says ‘TO BE “IN”‘ which I just love.
Another grunge look.
The grunge look paired with tortoiseshell is a nice contrast between two completely different styles keeping it original and unique.

I bought the tee for about £2 from a charity shop years ago and unfortunately, the flared tracksuit bottoms are also a charity shop find (£4). Fortunately for you, I found them new and linked them below. UNfortunately they’re £55.
You can create this look with any bright sports tee and flares, whether they’re tracksuit bottoms or not, a pair of trainers and you’re done.

Hands down the nicest dress I have ever bought.
I bought it from a thrift store in Paris. It was like something out of a film; hundreds of people shouting and throwing clothes over their shoulders whilst the shop owner sat with her legs on the counter smoking a cigarette and looking content. The shop assistants were pulling clothes out of black bags to restock the rails. It was absolute carnage and a taste of heaven at the same time.
Continue reading “Outfit #4: Pretty in red”Mental health problems affect around one in four people in any given year. They range from the more common problems such as anxiety and depression, to rarer problems such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

This is a favourite of mine.
I bought the whole outfit (bar the shoes) in Amsterdam and here, I am stood outside beautiful Italian restaurant in Amsterdam which was about to be covered in mascara and snot as my boyfriend and I mutually decided to break-up. Perfect.
Continue reading “Outfit #3: Blues and check”If someone says take away elections, floods of panic disperse as if all rights disintegrate and an instant dictatorship is formed leaving us all controlled by a big, evil bully and our opinions suppressed. This is not what I am suggesting.
Continue reading “Why we should scrap elections”My wardrobe is forever evolving. I mostly shop in charity shops, thrift shops (if I’m travelling to a new city), or hand-me-downs from my Aunty (my biggest fashion inspiration – I’ll go into more detail in another blog).
This is by far my favourite look – grunge. Easy to achieve and timeless.
Continue reading “Outfit #2: Wu Tang and chains”I am 21, living in Stroud, a small town where I have lived my whole life (bar a year in Bristol, 6 months in Weston-Super-Mare and a brief encounter with Cheltenham). I love music first and foremost, fashion, being social and a Chinese. I’ve tried lots of things, but like most 21 year olds (and most people in general) I still have no fucking idea what I’m going to do in my life. Here’s a load of advice that I should be taking myself, but am giving to you instead.
