I love blocks of bright colours and so I decided to dress up my mustard-yellow Marimekko bag with some other primary colours. I bought the pleated skirt in Oxfam and it’s completely brilliant. It’s a bit small but it has a panel before the pleats so it sits up high on the waist and then kicks out pleasingly. It’s very man-made, but it feels silky and nice so I shall just stay away from naked flames. The bag is a life-saver as I have to lug my laptop and camera about with me everywhere and I don’t own a rucksack. I am afraid for my knee joints under all the weight!
I went to a lot of events last week for my internship and I felt a bit underdressed at some of them because people had really made an effort. This outfit took me from video art at the ICA, then a gallery full of older people, seeing friends, having dinner at a nice restaurant and then seeing Herman Dune at a student union and I didn’t feel over- or under-dressed at any of the places. I will probably be cracking this out again although for Fashion Week, where I am very lucky to be attending a few things, I am going black, black, black.
Any one have any ideas about “go-anywhere”, no-shame outfits I can try out? And what do I wear for fashion shows?

This is a great outfit, and looks especially good with your blonde hair. If only I could have maintained this sort of excellent-ness during Bestival (no such luck).
Cheers dude. Is there going to be photo evidence of your trip to Bestival? People only look good at festivals if they’re making way too much effort.
I have a pic of A at Bestival, we bumped into each other during A’s final moments there. So many fashionistas at Bestival, not too try-hard though I thought. Very difficult to feel good after 4 days in a tent without a shower! Loved it, will definitely be going next year. Should have a full Disconap meet up! x
Oh, I meant to say, great hair too S, loving the heavy fringe with the rock-chic tousles.
Back in Amsterdam. Sorry I could never see you. Had to come back but hopefully in London again soon. I love your outfit and I want to see all your LFW outfits. V. jealous of your glam social intern. ps. re: oxfam shirt – so great to get back to charity shops in the uk – they just don’t happen over here. Picked up a cropped Levis denim waitcoat in an Oxfam in Cobham, Surrey for £3.99. also found a grey/blue mulberry men’s jumper for £7.99. Charity shops will see us through these hard fiscal times! x
