Military and Mesh

I saw a military style cotton shirt in Topshop that I really liked and I managed to get one for £3 at a charity shop. I also bought a bag for £2 that reminded me of the badged jackets currently being sold in Topshop, but since I have plenty of jackets this was a good compromise!

Lilac and Polka Dots

I recently found out that polka dots originated in 1926 when Miss America was photographed in a polka dot swim suit which led to Walt Disney's inspiration for Minnie Mouses' dress. I have two other polka dot dresses but I have to admit when I bought them I had Gwen Stefani's 1990's style in mind! I found this dress in the £1 charity shop where I found my gold dress I posted about previously! It was covered in coffee stains but I managed to revive it! The dress is exactly the same colour as the marabou earrings I made so they were the perfect accessory choice. I decided to wear heavy peep toe heels with the dress because I wanted to eliminate any chance of looking frumpy since the dress is quite long and I also wanted to give the outfit a grungey feel.

Pom poms and Crystals

I saw these Henry Holland earrings a while ago, I liked the idea of pom pom earring but I wanted something more subtle and most importantly affordable (they are £100!). Anyway I made these earrings for about £2.50 from marabou feathers and by recycling some charity shop earrings. I'm considering making a black pair too! 

I've wanted a healing crystal style necklace for ages but I don't like spending too much money on costume jewelry. I found some crystal point earrings at New Look (£3.99) and made them into two necklaces, a chord choker and a simple gold chain.
