Primark blazer

what I wore today...

I didn't think much of my outfit today - not my usual creative flair - although I had so many comments about my blazer I thought I should share it with the bloggin' gang...!

Picture of the utmost cringey-ness

Blazer - Primark
White daisy top - River Island
Belt - New Look
Jeans - Zara
Sandals - New Look

Sorry you can't see much of my daisy top - I'm new to all this showing off outfit stuff so was a bit quick to take the picture...

I think this blazer was such a good find considering it's from Primark! I can tell I'll be wearing it a lot in this Summer. Although!! The blue dye rubbed off on my daisy top which I am not happy about because it looks like I have massive sweat patches under my arms now! I love my daisy top n' all - I bought it last Summer and haven't got board of it yet. Hmph, that's Primark for ya... Oh well!

LOVE PEACE AND HAIR GREASE.

how to make yourself cool...


...and make all the boys drool. (may be unachievable)

The shirt pictured below I bought from the River Island sale months ago for £10. It was £25 but there is no way I would have paid that for a shirt without arms. I mean WTF BRO?!


I was glad that I found this as before I was planning on buying an old man's shirt from the charity shop and chopping the arms off anyway but every time I went in I could never find a nice checkered one. Problem solved. I haven't worn this shirt since I bought it for the simple reason that I knew I must customise it before I ever wore it... too plain my friend too plain.


I still had some leatherette (fake leather) left over from my AS Textiles project and so used that to cover the collar and front pocket. This was actually surprisingly easy and rather relaxing to do compared to the cropped jumper I did a few weeks ago because I actually measured things this time, who'd a thought?!!


 Awesome angles man

The tchallenge (= challenge) came with piercing the studs through because the leatherette and shirt fabric together was TOUGH SHIT MAN - but I got through it!!

Check out that neck extension

This didn't take me as long either, about two plays of The Vaccines album and a couple of tracks of my playlist. Plus, IT LOOKS SUPA KL... if I do say so myself. Let me know what you think and please try something like this yourself, it makes you feel good inside.

THANKS AND ENGINE TANKS.
