"Hicks wear gingham"

 (Dress: The White Pepper, Denim and sheep skin lined jacket: Topshop, Cowboy boots: Traditional Canadian ones, cable knit socks: Pringle)

Fully went for the farmer look with this one. It was too easy to do though. This denim jacket is the only type I really like. Denim jackets to me encourage suits of denim, which no matter how many times Gok Wan endorses, I still don't think I will be okay with. The fake fur kinda breaks it up, so if I did get a personality transplant and actually wore jeans then it might not look THAT bad. Who am I kidding? If you can't convince yourself it's time to go home. Great boots too, really sturdy, like a lobster- Lilo and Stitch 2002.

Come visit me again on Friday (for the last attempt making each outfit look different). Happy Halloween in the meantime!

"Hicks wear gingham"

 (Dress: The White Pepper, wool hat: H&M, mock shirt: DIY, white heels: River Island)

Right, presenting 3 ways to wear the blogger-famous White Pepper smock dress. This outfit is the most common montage of how I have seen others wear it. i.e. bloggers: just wear a wide brimmed hat. Sorted. Hate the game guys. Love this blouse too, it's great having a short sleeved blouse in your wardrobe, they are the most functional shirt, this mock shirt that I DIY'd stops that lumpy appearance you often get when layering a shirt, and it isn't too warm like long sleeved shirts: double win.

Come back on Wednesday for outfit two.

Norwegian Wood

Norwegian Wood: The Beatles 

 

 (Scandinavian style blouse & cut out suede skirt: Vintage, wooden platforms: Marni x H&M, knitted bows: DIY (not by me, I can't knit), purse: Mulberry bayswater)

Guys! Look at those shrooms! Obviously something is enjoying the wet weather we have been experiencing. How adorable are these knitted bows? My multi-talented friend made them for me. So thanks Missy, for the knitted goods and your photography patience. Apologies for the grainy pictures, taking them in falling autumn light was a bad idea, poor mr camera over-compensated for the darkness and resulted in a noticeable change in quality. oh well. You win some, you loose some.

Also, because I am feeling smart I want to draw attention to the linked song and it's relevance. The Beatles took drugs, some mushrooms, my top is Scandinavian and the pictures are in a wood. I am proud even if no-one else is.
