For my fashion history course homework I had to design either a modern outfit or costume based on the Victorian ear. So I did some research on pinterest and found this burgundy dress. I took inspiration from this garment and interpreted the neck line plus the detail into my design of the Victorian blouse. I then use bloomers for sleeves and gathered the material in at the wrist with a lace and flair trim. This top also has bones inside to give the woman shape as would a corset. Obviously since the Victorian era style has changed massively so this design could be worn with either skinny light denim jeans or black leggings. I have styled the garment with jeans and a simply black high wedge shoe and long messy hair with a middle parting.

York trip - today's outfit - this camouflage green above the knee sleeveless dress matches well with my red hair. I like this dress because it can be dressed up with accessories or kept casual with leggings, flat shoes and minimal accessories. For my trip to York I made this dress look casual, with adding a simple black cardigan which I've customize with different shaped and multi-coloured buttons, a blood red bag to match with my hair and novelty gold ring. I wore black dolly shoes which are decorated with gold flower studs.

fashion homework - one side of a picture and I have to even it up, quite proud to say it's a first attempt!

Todays outfit! – baggy black jumber with white skull from International, and black and white maxi pencil skirt from ASOS. Love this skirt because I can dress it in many ways, this is a good example with the jumper being over the skirt which hides about half the length.

                                                 

I'm loving this outfit I've found on Instagram. I think the colours all match really well however I wouldn't have used that necklace with a collar neck top... just me?

First time I've had a blog but here we go... I’m sat trying to think of how I can put into words why I love fashion and I’m struggling. For me fashion is more of a feeling, the excitement of when you find the vintage bag in the back of your wardrobe which you bought a while ago and forgot all about and now you’re wondering how you ever managed without it before, or the buzz from compliments you receive while you’re wearing that summer dress which you weren't too sure about. Well my dream job is to be a stylist, with the power that fashion gives off and my help, I’m hoping to boost peoples’ egos with feel good clothes when they’re unsure on what or how to wear things.
