Circus act.

 

Well now... in light of the fact I have not and will not be able to do any sort of outfit posts for a while (lack of tripod & nice people to indulge me) I have put up some old ones. After working a horror shift on New Years I attend an after hours, circus theme party at The Jam Factory. I was the Lion Tamer/Ring Master. Check out the mugs gallery below too.

Jacket: Black & white checkered, button-up hoody, Lux.

Shirt: Men's white tuxedo shirt, Charity Shop

Bow Tie: Men's Charity shop.

Skirt: Black lycra, body con, Topshop.

Shoes: Tan & tweed brogues, Office.

the things that geeks are made of

Apparently wearing socks with your tights denotes totally geekdom. This is law according to my new work mates. They just don't get fashion duh! Well, to be frank (who is frank?) this brogue and sock combo is more of a blister prevention system than some kinda trailblazing trendsetting. And it's just dead cosy ya get me? Ooooooh yeah and found these earrrings in a junk shop. Love a bit of chunky scally gold.

This is just a wee post before me and my pops go on a flying visit to see my god babies in France. Margauxface is also going to be Franco-side but she's hitting up the stylish gay paris and will probably be found supping on lattes & scoffing gateaux avec Garance Doré! Whereas I will be deep in rural france watching Labrynth and picking my nose with these guys.  I've sent Mummy M a memo saying only pack striped tshirts and berets for our french inspired posts. I'm just about to pack my capsule wardrobe, solely consisting of the tricolor. 

I hate French jokes. They're crepe.

Boy 8-Bit  -  The Things That Freeks Are Made Of

winter warmer

Shiver me timbers!! The trees are almost naked, the days are shorter and there is a bitter chill in the air. Welcome winter! I know some femmes j'adore summertime because it means floaty dress, full-on colours and floral prints - but to be honest I'm more into wrapping up dead cosy and making sure all slivers of skin are swaddled in multiple layers. Anyhoo, that's what this outfits all aboot - pure dead cosy from head to toe. Slouchy boots with doubled up socks, doubled up pair of dresses, the world's biggest cardigan. Just call me Toasty McRoasty. And my lush necklusie which makes me feel warm inside now it's finally arrived.


Also  - me and the dream team, Margaux, have parted ways. The reason we decided to start this was as a means of keeping in contact with one another and also to keep an eye on each others outfits. I'm already expectant of an email where Margaux will write "Ele!!! Wtf were you thinking? Spots, stripes, checks, leather, tweed and chiffon, non, non mon poulet rôti!!" So this blog is going interntational from now on. Well almost. Margaux is representing Glasgow now and I will be fronting for the Oxford/London massif. Look out for parallel outfit posts (yippeee geek factor 12).  


Enough of my chitter chatter.
