Green jungle

Sometimes I wear more than one outfit in a day... okay...fine... most days I end up wearing more than one outfit, but that's fine right?! Okay maybe its not fine, but working from home creates the temptation to play around and sometimes I might wear an outfit out and then realise its not that comfy for the whole day and change when I get back from whatever I've been doing. So here are two outfits I've worn today, one shot by me (no prizes for guessing which one eh) and one by my pa.

Charity shop blouse, vintage shorts (selling on ebay), vintage dior tights, sparkly juju jelly shoes and old silver brooches.

I like this outfit a lot, those green tights are super cute, but the outfit got a little hot and so I wore this instead...

Vintage 1950s chrysanthemums print dress (I think of it as my jungle dress), with a blue leather belt from a charity shop, jelly shoes and socks from john lewis

This dress cost something ridiculous like £4.50 from a charity shop because it has a rip in the bottom on the skirt, but you can't see it and I never notice it so it was a great find!

In other news... my bag has being growing nicely:

And in the background is fabric from another project I'm working on:

I love scans but this looks horrible, demonstration purposes only!

I made a toile of the crop top below which you can see me wearing here and I'm sure in many photos to come: http://www.secondhandreduction.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/hi-hi-hi-hi-hi.html
I need to make a few alterations to it but the original idea was to make it out of the peach chiffon fabric at the bottom, but I think it'll be a little see-through even with the addition of lots of ruffles so I might make the chiffon fabric into a babydoll crop top instead taking from the shape of this one:

Anyway these are projects to keep playing around with!
I'm off to wear my 5th outfit of the day, goodbye!
