Day 28: Making waves

 It's another maxi skirt today, and it's one I haven't worn in quite some time (at least a year or 2 I think). The reason may be that whenever I wear it and walk, it swishes uncontrollably. Walking down the stairs...swish. Crossing the road...swish. Trying to make my way through an annoying crowd...swish. (Which kinda makes my intentionally grumpy face very, very tame.) Anyway, I thought I'd give it another try today...swish. It's not all bad though; I'm making waves.

Today I'm wearing:

• Vintage white shirt
• Purple vest
• (Do you remember that clothes shop called "QS" which then became "NAFNAF"?) Maxi skirt with shiny velvet effect from NAFNAF. 

I'm absolutely rubbish at street language etc but isn't "naf" slang for something that's uncool and bad? No wonder it no longer exists....Oh well.

Day 27: "Are those shorts!?"

Hello! Yes they're shorts. They're kinda bubbly, and you'd be forgiven if you saw them and thought, "what are those!?". But yes they are shorts.

Today I'm wearing:

• New Look shirt and vest (I'm cheating just a little today as the whole top is just one piece - but it looks like a white shirt so why not?)
• Bubble grey shorts
• Brown weave belt which came with the shorts

I know I'm going to bring up the weather again, but this was to combat the rain and the wind; shorts will not blow everywhere in the wind and the material won't let water (from the rain) cause embarrassing wet patches. It's only logical...

Day 26: Frill me up, buttercup

Cause this is friller, friller night!

Frill my little world right up, right up...

(Ok that's all I've got at the moment. It makes a short-lived but very fun game. "Replace lyrics with FRILL".) 

I know what you're thinking: that's so random. 1) It's been 26 days, you should be used to it by now! 2) It's actually quite relevant as today is all about the frill.

Today I'm wearing:

• Purple cardigan with waterfall-type frills - unlabelled gift from a family friend
• White lace frill shirt - vintage. 
• New Look floral midi skirt (you've seen this before)

 

I wouldn't usually combine two powertrends (frills, and floral patterns) but I was feeling...random. And the skirt was the first thing I saw peeking out of my wardrobe!

Ps. Got another one - "Infect me with your love and frill me with your poison." Not a typo. Katy Perry.

Day 25: Flying with wings

The above isn't terribly relevant but I'm wearing a cape-shaped cardigan and it's the most inventive thing I could think of. It is a Monday after all! (Not that you can see it very well in this photo. Whoops, my bad.)

Today I'm wearing:

• New Look cape
• Next cord skinny jeans
• Next white shirt

I've repeated an item of clothing (other than a shirt) for the first time so I think my wardrobe's getting drained!

Oh well, more draining tomorrow :)

Day 24: Lady in red

All hail the bow tie! I may not be Matt Smith but I sure do love a bow tie. Last Sunday, I was very, very blue (go see for yourself, Day 17) and today I am very, very red. And colour-coordinated. 

Today I'm wearing:

• Red bow tie from Sara Berman for ASOS (originally a belt, so I took off the bow and put a safety pin on it. DIY brooch!)
• Forever 21 white shirt
• Red dress from Apricot (worn as skirt)
• Primark red satchel
• (You can't tell in the photo, but also Miss Sporty red lipstick in "Malaga". It's important to colour code!) 

And nope, tomorrow is not yellow/green/pink/purple/etc day. Don't hold your breath.

Day 23: Sink, swim or float?

I've been a bit weather-obsessed this week (in other words, British) but this ensemble totally defies the pouring rain. Wouldn't recommend it, but I stayed in all day so...

Today I'm wearing:

• Floaty tie dye maxi dress (gift from my Auntie so I have no idea where it's from)
• Next shirt

You may have noticed I quite like tying my shirts (it adds shape to an outfit) but today I thought I'd tie the ends up at the back, making a bolero/shrug type thing :)

Ps. The answer is "float".

Day 22: It's not over yet!

I wore a sign today with a link to this page, so if you are new and are here due to a scribbled note hung on a piece of string, HELLO! (and who needs to pay for advertising when you can just wear a sign around your neck eh?)

The piece of paper, however, prompted a lot of questions (namely "what on earth are you doing Bev!?)...for which the answer was "for fun. For a new and different challenge." Call me crazy but I am having a lot of fun, and for this reason I've decided to continue the challenge past the 30 days :) (this is the point where you stand up and shout "hip hip hooray!". I'll pretend I heard it.

Today I'm wearing:

• Forever 21 white shirt (for this look it looks best with the top button done up)
• Asos camel-coloured culottes

Upwards and onwards!
