I train my mind to cruise control

I know, I know... I havent posted for a while now, but man blogger was driving me nuts the past week I couldnt handle knowing that a post could get deleted again. I know its all on track now, so Im back as well. Here you see how I wore the same garment in two different outfits. This leopard cape from Wholesale has such a nice smooth texture for chilly days. I dont actually wear that much leopard, the only colors that I like matching with leopard are black, white, gold and grey. I know it looks good on other colors too but in my case I would wear it mostly with those four colors. On the pictures above I was wearing it with a vintage maxi dress and a forever21 hat. Below I combined it with a vintage white sheer top, and some lace shorts i made myself. Which pictures from below you like better?
I have received a lot of comments asking me how I made this shorts. Actually, I just got a lace fabric with scalloped ends a while ago and used this brilliant video as a reference to hand sew my shorts! I hope the video helps you too! Of course use your own measurements and make the shorts much more low waisted. 
Anyways, thats all folks.

Last week I went with my cousin to transfer a couple of tees. Here I was wearing one of those with the vintage blouse youve seen a lot of times before, some black shorts from forever 21, doc martens and a lot of necklaces. Its been a long time I havent post pictures with my docs, but I always wear them! Im really into this outfit, very very casual but still looks put together.
The nailpolish is my favorite mix so far, sort of jade/turquoise/teal. I used 98% white 1% blue and 1% green

Just another ugly dress

 

Dress: ASOS
Jacket: Allsaints
Necklace C/O: True Birds

Arguably one of the ugliest dresses I own. I think the appeal is in the sheer car crash nature of the dress...I am historically drawn to hideous clothing and do enjoy something which is essentially 'wrong' on so many levels. A trashy dress for a trashy occasion, it was perfect for my birthday party a couple of weeks back, where Rhianna was on full blast and my ass on full view. Oh WELL.

A big thank you to Zara from True Birds for sending me this cracking little deer skull necklace. I used to be obsessed with drawing animal skulls in higher Art and Design (my mum was an Art teacher and we literally have a garage full of creepy things for still life drawings), so this was right up my street
