Revival

As you may have read in my previous post, I scored this sweet little Romance Was Born embellished vest at The Diva's Wardrobe on Sunday. In the spirit of sustainable fashion, for the afternoon of shopping I'd decided to sport my favourite family hand-me-down, this gorgeous bright red leather skirt which used to belong my Aunt. I'd paired it with my all time favourite Batman crop (an oldie but a goodie), and then when I tried on the denim vest it just looked like I'd been planning the purchase all along! It was the perfect addition to my outfit (and my wardrobe). 

My Secondhand Style:

I've been totally obsessed over Kenzo's amazing eye print pieces since forever, and now that the trend has finally spread to slightly more affordable options, I just don't know what to pick!
I'm not sure why I didn't get in to Polyvore sooner (it's so fab!!!), but I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try it out and share my eye-print edit with you.

My Eye-Print Edit:

Back to Basics

So lately I've been thinking my wardrobe needs a little taming. For a while now I've been a bit (okay, a lot) obsessed with items that are a touch wacky - crazy cuts, crazy prints, crazy colours. If people were staring, my outfit was a success.

But in all the craziness, things got kind of messy. There's nothing wrong with looking a little out-there, but making sure there's a certain level of polish to an outfit makes all the difference.

To that end, I went in search of sophisticated yet simple designs - clean lines, blacks, whites, basics. And this is what I found.

White Mesh T-Shirt with PU Stripe from ASOS

Black Long-sleeve Striped Mesh Crop Top by Glamorous from ASOS

As much as a love a good print clash, sometimes you just need simple pieces to pair with those outrageous prints so they can really pop. I'm looking forward to seeing what new life these basics can breathe in to my wackier wardrobe veterans!
