Their Greek tragedy









I’ve noticed that with regards to colour, I’m becoming boring, and I can’t decide whether or not I want to pursue this rut. Quandary aside, monochromacity forces one (or me) to focus on or experiment more with shapes, silhouette, proportions and/ or texture. In this case, texture takes centre stage as chunky speckled knit, leather effect, faux snakeskin and pleats become friends. Leathery/ shiny looking garments paired with knitwear or fluffy pieces has been a lasting fixation of mine and ONCE AGAIN find myself over buying to cater for my predilection, tsk. Someone stop me? (Please).


On a side note, these glasses cost me 50p – with their ORANGE-ity, transparent, graduated lenses and hint-of-cat shape, I love them more than all of my other sunnies (but don’t let on to the others).


Cardigan: atmosphere

Leggings: ebay

Skirt: H&M

Clutch: random shop in brumingham

  5. yep, they are, but the heel is sort of odd-shaped... I'm still hesitating whether or not I should replace them.

    Are these photos taken in your neighbourhood? Seems like an awesome location to take pictures!

  7. Some people can wear just anything from Primark and still look like a million dollars. I do envy you.

    On the other hand, I see you have the same problem as I do with the wet look leggings,they just roll where they shouldn't :(

    I love the barbwire.

  8. Well, the third pic is unwaveringly my favorite one. Monochromatic looks, j'adore. Gray is my first love. This outfit is far from being boring. It's truly perfect. I love your sunglasses (L).
    Ps : My jeans are not a DIY job, it's from Mango. And my furry gilet comes from Zara. I'm also looking for a jacket like that, in black, but it seems to be an arduous fashion quest ^^

    i understand what you're feeling about being monochromatic. i feel the same way, i used to dress more colorful in my younger years, but i feel as the older i get the lack of colors are appearing on my body. like im getting old and it drenches the color out of me..sorry that sound morbid didn't it..:X
