The penultimate day of the blog, and I'm ending in style, naturally!
Today is double denim of epic proportions, because if you can, why not!?
All about the excess in here.
I like wearing matchy-matchy things, it makes a change to my orchestrated clashing of prints and colours. I've ignored the traditional DD rules of light and dark denim and gone for similarity instead; I mean matching coat and dress sets were a thing in the 60s right?
This dress is a good staple; being denim, it's hard wearing yet comfy. It buttons nicely up to the neck and fits well despite it's length and slightly square shape. Utility and beauty. The only issues, a missing last button aside, is juggling 2 collars. Hopefully the closest to two things fighting over my neck I'll ever be; both are blue and pointy, like a cartoon shark fin. It can get edgeh, but it can get a bit cluttered too!
I've added my recent fete find of a wooden beaded necklace with a parrot dangling on it. During a recent clear-out I gave up most of my wooden beaded necklaces, they just weren't me anymore (I'm into precious metals now, an expensive phase which requires me to buy gold tarnished things instead) but I liked the parrot and the primary colours. I'm sure it could double as a pram toy for a toddler. A word of caution though, getting hair caught in between wooden discs is painful and to be avoided!
