Bloody Mary Metal Personalised Stack & Fire Alchemy Rings / Marc B ‘Baby Bianca’ Bag * / New Look Platform Heels *
A couple of years ago I’d never have dared venture out in a hat let alone one this huge, but thanks to my fedora for kicking off my hat obsession now as far as I’m concerned the bigger the better! I’m still searching for a super wide brim fedora or similar, but in the meantime this straw one from New Look is a good middle ground, with the floppiness toning down the drama just a little. I won’t lie, I did still get quite a few stares & whispers whilst wearing it on the bus though. One girl I overheard scoff to her friend ‘she thinks she’s Beetlejuice or something!’ I’m assuming they meant Lydia Deetz, which I mean is that supposed to be a bad thing?! I think to me that’s more of a compliment!
This perfectly sized satchel from Marc B has been coming everywhere with me for the past week, I can’t bear to carry a huge bag around when it’s warm & sticky outside unless I really have to, so this has been a god send. It’s lightweight & fits everything I need. I love a good stompy boot, but surprisingly I don’t really have any stompy summer shoes, so obviously I couldn’t resist these leather platform sandals with their chunky cleated soles. Even better they’re in the sale for £30!

Wow, you look so great in this outfit! I love hats and think it really suits you! Those platform sandals are absolutely great. I really, really like your whole style! Those comments about wearing black… I think they want to insult but I would as well think of it as a compliment. And Lydia Deetz was cool. Once someone said (judging): “You look like this Addams Family woman” Well, I was all like:”Yay, you don’t know what you just said <3 ".

You’re total inspiration! I’m obsessed with black and grays and I’m trying to find better ways to incorporate them. In one of your posts you said you like to buy high quality items and re-wear them for years. I should totally do that, because every time I turn around I’m shopping for something new. Thanks so much! Your outfits are dope for sure
