Barney’s Originals Drape Leather Jacket / Lookbook Store Plaid Shirt * / OASAP Asymmetric Dress * /
Kurt Geiger Wedge Boots / Balenciaga City
No your eyes are not deceiving you, that is a little colour you see! I’ve always been a grunge kid at heart & I could never resist a little plaid, though these days I tend to wear it more for slobbing around home than out of the house or tied around my waist like I used to. I threw this jacket over the top of the shirt one day when I was in a rush to take Nico out, and unexpectedly loved the combination & the way the sliver of shirt peeking out makes such an impact against the black, so I had to work it into an outfit. I guess you could call this an updated version of my teenage self, a kind of goth grunge!
I think you’ll be seeing this dress from OASAP around quite a lot, it’s the perfect layering piece, just the right length to be a dress or a top & I haven’t been able to stop wearing it. I know a lot of people don’t like the cheap polyester chiffon pieces from these type of stores are made from, but I honestly prefer it, it’s so much easier to care for & longer wearing than the nicer, but far more delicate kinds. I can’t count the number of times I’ve brought a beautiful silk or silk mix chiffon blouse or dress only for it to develop tears & holes after only a few gentle wears, to me it is not worth it especially when it’s something like this that you want to wear as an everyday piece. My dislike for it may be slightly influenced by my memories of what an absolute nightmare the silk kind is to work with & sew too!
