Extreme Style

When I was tidying my room (as we all must do from time to time), I was sorting through old clothes and bits and bobs and came across a number of style projects and random over the top items I made for shows and such. I'm really considering taking some of these over-the-top, statement, mad things and somehow working them into my everyday look for a project-just to see how extreme I can get away with out  on the street! 

Now rather than putting them away and swiftly moving on, I had to , of course, throw different things together and take some wacky pictures just to show off precisely how many mad things I own! I guess this is my own little Gaga style moment! I think the crab-head hat in particular would be an easy one to wear casually to college don't you?

This was another gig outfit. It was Lorena's birthday so she joined me for a gig I was reviewing and we went to a bar after. The leggings are Penneys and I've featured them before. In fact this whole outfit is a re-combo of items from previous outfits. The hat is George's Street Arcade and the belt was plundered from a lost property sale at my secondary school! The boots are Penneys a few years ago too. I like that no part of this outfit cost more than 15euro but it has a chic, put-together air about it. I love combining and contrasting different colours and I was surprised how well the jacket and leggings worked together despite the very different patterns. In my opinion some dark lipstick and a blazer can give any outfit a kick of sophistication-even those that are a little fun, glittery and zany!
