A Metallic gem

A £1 charity shop has recently opened where I live (I know how ridiculously lucky am I?!) and I found an amazing metallic dress tucked away in there. Metallic clothes are the embodiment 1970's disco culture but I knew I would be able to update it and give it more of a grunge feel and hopefully not look too much like a wannabee member of the Bee Gees . When I tried the dress on it was a lot shorter than I'd anticipated so I tucked it into my ripped skinny jeans to get this fusion of 70's and 90's style.

This fluffy cream coat is Topshop seconds, I got it for £25 and I can't wait for it to get colder so I can constantly wear it.

I love American Apparel's selection of halter body suits so I was really pleased that I could find something similar for next to nothing! 

Fluffy Fashion

Cher Horowitz in Clueless is undoubtedly my inspiration when it comes to accessorizing with fluff. I started off experimenting with marabou feathers in my hair (trying as much as possible to not look like Britney Spears in the Baby one more time music video). After that I quickly began to love all things fluffy. 

Here's my grunged down interpretation of Cher's iconic 90's look. I found the cardigan in a charity shop for £3 and the skirt was £1! My shoes are high street but I attached marabou to them after being inspired by these rabbit faux fur fluffy sandals in Topshop. 

Golden Grunge

My sister is starting a photography course in September and I've accumulated a ridiculous amount of clothes through years of being a charity shop addict, so I thought it would be the perfect excuse for me to document my finds and for her to build up a portfolio. There are two items of clothing that I want to focus on for this post, a gold beaded dress and a sheer golden long sleeved top. I rarely find anything I like that's gold let alone wear it, so I've decided to give them the recognition they deserve! I found the short beaded dress in Salvation army for £3! I've got to admit it is pretty out there and I'm not 100% sure when I'll wear it. I'll either have to chug a few glasses of wine first or just team it with something more modest! I found the daisy necklace the same day and it only cost me £1! I've been eyeing them up on ebay for a while so I was glad I waited! 

This is the sheer top I purchased and it only cost my £3! I was so amazed because I constantly watch them on ebay and most of the time they are extremely overpriced, so I was thrilled to find it! I also bought the pearl choker the same day which also cost me £1! I don't usually wear pearls but I thought the black stone gave them an alternative edge.
