So, after promising recently in this very blog to be more active in terms of posting, reading the blogs I follow and commenting on all your lovely updates I'm afraid I have lapsed back into my bad habits of rarely looking on here.
It honestly is usually due to a lack of time rather than laziness though I must add!!!
In the last couple of weeks since I bothered to write anything in here I decided to have a massive chunk of my hair shaved off (I think it looks good and am now making more of an effort to style my hair differently so as to best display my 'sidecut' as I think the kids are calling it these days), been socialising more with my new housemates, running the company I work for while my boss was on holiday - and almost suffered a nervous breakdown as a result, and generally just galloping around feeling like I need more hours in the day.
This weekend is Wilderness Festival which I am extremely excited about although somewhat sartorially underprepared for. Due to the fact I have very little spare money at the moment I think I'll try and find the time for a quick gander around my local charity shops to find some suitably 'outre' outfits, otherwise I shall feel like a very boring, ugly duckling in a sea of fabulously camp, kitsch, glittery and downright bonkers swans.
I shall endeavor to post some styling photos pre-Festival so you can all give me your advice on what to pack - I shall need it!
Ta ta for now.

The madder the better....look out for nylon nighties & petticoats, men's Tootal paisley print dressing gowns, 1980s Princess Di pillbox hats with netting or feathers and 1990s lurex, crochet or sequinned topsin charity shops & Poundland's great for long striped socks, hen night cat's ears & feather boas and false eyelashes. As long as you don't do the dull old denim shorts/camo jacket/checked shirt or Primark tea dress you'll be fine and look a million times better than those sad Alexa Chung clones! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the tips Vix - Poundland is a great shout for amazingly tacky accessories and I've just remembered we have a Clare's Accessories in Wycombe which will no doubt have some bizarro hairbands/hats/eyelashes. Would I be allowed to wear denim shorts if paired with something outrageous to dial down the dullness of the denim? Certainly feeling inspired now!! xx
DeleteVicky is totally right - the madder the better, you won't regret it. Although I must add that you should take something warm and cosy for cold nights in the tent too!
ReplyDeleteyou need to upload a photo of your sexy hair!
I'm very tempted to buy that hideous leopard print onesie from New Look for snuggling in the tent with....
DeleteI think I shall be trying some fairly radical outfits this weekend then!!
