Back to the books

Here's my outfit for the first day back to Uni. The dungarees are probably the chicest I've manages and are actually from Penneys! I love the gold buttons and the legs are a skinny fit which is very unusual for a dungaree!
The purple top adds a splash or colour as do the lumo ribbon laces I used to jazz up my ancient Docs. It of course had to be teamed with my favourite blue beanie so all my friends could spot me from far off! I finished it with catflick eyeliner and shimmery light brown lipstick.

Sunshine shorts

So here's another 50s inspired look! We managed to get a beautiful day for a family barbecue.I was thinking about the carnival scene at the end of Grease. I showcased the edited stripey shirt in an earlier post when I changed it. I really like the way the blue contrasts nicely with the bright yellow of the shorts. I tucked in the shirt to emphasise the high raise of the shorts and also because the shirt is very loose around the bottom and it's more flattering held a little closer to the body. I wore my hair up to keep cool and so it wouldn't take emphasis off of the outfit. I finished it with a wide, purple bandanna for the 'We can do it!' housewife look!
