Tammy at Silverstyle has another fun link-up! The trend of choice this time is stripes and she asks, "How does your decade style this?" Do go and link up! She's lovely and I really like seeing different variations on it from different ages. I love a good stripe! Maybe it stems from a secret crush on Aled Jones as a girl (do you get my lateral thinking?) Knowing Tammy had this, I ended up wearing stripes two days running!
Excuse the first photo- this was around 7.45 at night at school- it was parents evening! I'd been there for ages (around 10 hours!) was bleary-eyed and I figured that the light was probably better in school than my dim house- I'd forgotten to bring a hair-brush as is patently obvious! This cardie is from Monsoon and I really like the bow on the right- stops it being just another stripy cardigan (I have several and this is the way in which I usually wear stripes! Other than my big stripey curtain flares!)- I love the ways I justify multiple clothing items! (shirt and trousers, thrified oasis, cameo and earrings accessorize, bag- Hazel giveaway!)
Bracelets, pressies!
Today, I was dressed as such! I originally bought this stripy t-shirt (primark) for a potential winter lindy-outfit! To be worn with big 1940's style trousers and a black beret! Worn here with Peter-pan collar crocheted cardigan (castoff from friend)
Swishy green Asos skirt!
and green satin hair ribbon (was used as wrapping on my Christmas pressies from CBC!)
Lego earrings to keep Year 2 amused!
I must say something for Tescos and their stripy tights here- I moaned about the fact that the print doesn't go high enough on knitted tights recently but Tescos have obviously heeded complaints as the stripes go sufficiently high now! Worn with Red or dead love birds shoes.
How do you wear stripes!
I must say a brief pre-YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE to herald the fact that there is just one day till half-term!! It started snowing again as I was leaving school which was exciting and unexpected! I doubt we'll get a snow day, it was too wet on the pavement to settle but it's nice to dream!!! I hope I get time to make my own snowman this weekend!!!!
Ciao bella!
