If I told you this outfit was partly inspired by the movie Jaws would you believe me? My unlikely style icon here is Richard Dreyfuss' Matt Hooper, aka, the king of double denim. I haven't quite mastered the double blue denim that he does in Jaws but I will one day and this is a step towards it.
Sorry for the TMI but this morning I woke up with conjunctivitis in both eyes so to counteract this I decided to try to dress nicely and play with my make up.
In the past two weeks I've lost a stone and I've definitely noticed a difference in my clothes and the shape of my face especially.
The denim jacket I'm wearing is my mum's from the 90's so not technically vintage but I'm going to call it that. I'm not sure where it's from because the tag has been cut out. I love it but I haven't worn it of late because it hasn't fitted nicely, and although I've only lost a stone, it seems to fit a little better. It might just be in my head though!
The jeggings I have on are just from the F&F range at Tesco as I used to work in the electrical department there which was right next to the clothing department. It was dangerous for my bank balance. But I've had these for ages and I love them. Although my only two posts include trousers, I actually hardly ever wear trousers, practically living in skirts and dresses. But I like to grunge it up a little sometimes so that's when I reach for these jeggings. I also cut two 'rips' in the knees because I think I'm cool, but it means I need to shave my knees when I wear them.
The top I'm wearing isn't actually a top, it's a dress from everythingfivepounds.com but I'm too fat for it so my tits and ass make it too short. But that won't stop me, so I'm wearing it as a top. I think it would be a very short dress on someone who actually fit in properly anyway.
My favourite part of this outfit are my shoes. They're Dr. Marten sandals that I got for christmas because they were on sale for fourty-five pounds. Last time I wore them they gave me the worst blister I ever had and it scared me to wear them. But I bought a men's gel deodorant to rub on my feet to stop the blisters. It has worked in the places I put it but I forgot to put it on the top of my foot and by the time I got to uni I had some pretty monster blisters and don't have any plasters so I've put sellotape on them. I know I'm going to regret that later.
Apart from the clothes I just have foundation and red lipstick on. I had my albino eyebrows dyed and I can't put make up on my eyes for obvious reasons. I've also just done a side fishtail braid and put my hair in a side parting.
So how do you think I've done? Do you think Richard Dreyfuss would be proud?
