Just a Baseball Hat and a Bit of Denim




Leggins - Topshop
Shirt - Vintage
Hat - Market
Denim Jacket - Motel Rocks Vintage Pop Up
Scrunchie - DIY - link tutorial click here
Sunglasses - Primark
Shoes - Creepers, Office



I am aware that I look like an American 'football' player on their day off, a very standard leggins and shirt sort of day. Not saying that footballers wear leggins, it's just the whole 'backwards hat vibe' going on.

I feel like I may never take this jacket off, it is the comfiest thing with the most strategically placed pockets for concealing ones hands, that are actually big enough to fit a phone, keys and purse in. So thats fab. It even fits perfectly over every single item of clothing I own, although not in the 'Joey in Chandlers' sense; from another jacket (double whammy) to one or two hoodies, not that I need them in this weather. Although if you've been to Herts Uni Library, it gets pretty chilly in there. Anyway I've gone completely off topic, I can never decide if I'm a 'leggin's' person or a tights person. but revision calls for elasticated waists (If you know what I mean) so these do me fine in my slouchy moments. Although I feel that 'fashion' is something one should always pride yourself on, it's just impossible to look good during exam season, stress affects skin, everyone is eating three times their body weight because its a fab way to procrastinate.. or procrastin-eat (ha) and we're all in that awkward in-between stage of when it's acceptable to whip your ever-so-pasty legs out for the general public.

Shoes-wise though, creepers are wonderful. Not necessarily a 'flattering' shoe.. but the platform does give me that cheeky extra inch and a half that brings me to the normal height of 5'5" (I'm lying, way closer to 5'4") But anyway, in a classic black suede they go with baaaaaaaasically everything, except brown but I don't own brown. These are the kind of shoe that I will keep in my cupboard and rediscover in 4 years and start wearing again. I am a major hoarder and I hate throwing anything away, but this is the kind of shoe that is so simple that they can't really be out of style so I don't feel any guilt in hoarding these. 

It probably isn't legit, but I've decided that having light eyes makes them more sensitive, hence why I am permanently wearing sunglasses or else I look like I'm screwfacing the camera, not a good look. These are what I like to call my "throwaway pair" originally bought for lovebox festival last year, they are brought out every time I'm going somewhere where they will probably be snapped in half. And for £1.50 I don't feel too distressed by that option.

Motel Rocks OOTD










Jacket - Levi, Vintage Pop-up Shop, Motel Rocks
Top - Ski gear, thermal.. Sexy
Tights - Primark
Hoops - Spanish Market
Necklace - Israel, the Country not a shop
Shoes - Reebok Classics
Leather Rucksack - Radley
Dog - Archie 


The Sample Sale-
So Danie and I made our way up to Great Portland Street at 10am yesterday morning, which by the way wasn't early enough and we ended up queuing for an hour and a half. But finally we got in, and among the other jumble of 16-18 year old girls, we started to fling through what looked like my room, a floordrobe. Due to the lack of changing rooms, it was a complete madness, but we searched and eventually found a few items we wanted. I did mean to take pictures when I was there but it was too busy and small, and taking pictures of semi naked girls wasn't really what I set out to do. So alas, no pictures of the actual sale, but take my word for it, if you've been to a Kilo Sale before, that's what it looked like.

Anyway, another faux-pas I made was wearing this above outfit... When there aren't any fitting rooms, and only one mirror, wearing an oversized tee with tights was extremely inconvenient. If I had any sense, I would have worn jeans/leggins with a vest, easy changing, no nudity. Alas, no. But anyway, re-discovering this tee was the best moment of my winter, I am aware it's technically summer, but I was cold. And ye, it is lined with fleece, so basically it is perfect. Trainers, standard. Plaits, obviously and hoops, well I didn't want to let Vicky Pollard down. My dog, Archie, decided to get in loads of these pictures... so I decided to dress him up, but he slyly loved it anyway.

The Jacket-
SO
As well as the Motel Rocks Sample Sale, they had a 'Pop-Up' Vintage Shop going on too. This is where I found this jacket, and it was dirt cheap. They had some gorgeous playsuits in reds and purples, but I'm not really the playsuit type so just stuck with the jacket. Denim Jackets are one of those things that never seem to go out of fashion, whether they're tight and small or over-sized like this one. So I basically decided 'why not' and got it. As a girl notorious for 'borrowing' people's clothes, I can't mind when people borrow mine back, however after showing this "unisex" jacket to my Dad, he's decided he likes it and will borrow it... so he will continue to rock the double denim combinations that he is so fond of, good.

But hey! Good news, the sale does actually continue today so if you didn't get a chance to go today and decide that revision just isn't worth the hassle, pop down it's open till 7pm.
