lil bit of charity shopping

Sooo I haven't done a blog post in a while! I've been real busy with uni work and then enjoying the sun the past few days (yay sun!!!!!). I have attempted a few outfit snaps using my new tripod but I just can't seem to get them right and cringe at all the photos I've taken! :-( But anywayyy... here a a few bits I recently picked up from the charity shops, I went in just to find some stuff for the last bits of my uni work but obviously ended up picking stuff up for myself. The skirt is for my uni work and I've made it into a cute little matching two piece, once I get it back from uni I'm definitely going to be wearing it! I thought the pastel stripe jumper was really cute and it's clearly hand made too which I thought was really cute! I can imagine wearing it in the summer evenings when it starts to cool down over a plain maxi dress or some high wasited shorts. I picked up this cool Dr Martens tee from the mens section, I've been keeping my eye out for tshirts like this for a while now as I think they're really great to DIY and look awesome. The last thing is this skirt, the first photo doesn't really do it justice so I've taken a close up of it to show the gorgeous beading AND it's originally from Miss Selfridge, pretty good for £1!!

Hey guys! 
Sooo yesterday I went back to uni after the Easter break and I'm starting to work on my final major project! So here is just a quick post on fringed items....

I love fringed clothes and accessories for summer, I think they look really cute and can either give a grungey biker feel or a hippy chick kinda look. They can be great statement pieces in an outfit so you can keep everything else simple and let the fringe stand out! I already have a pair of tan fringed shorts which I bought in primark maybe two years ago? And then a few fringed tee's and tassely tops and also a cute fringed bikini with gold beads on the fringing which I got from tesco! But for the summer & festivals and even the autumn for some items, I need more fringe!!!! I'm definitely guna get my hands on a leather jacket and a bag of some sorts and I have also decided I'm going to customise a few old and unloved tshirts by fringing the bottoms or the sleeves. When I get round to the DIY I will blog about it to show the results! :-)
