♥ The musings of an impoverished fashionista ♥

Heavens. This is rather exciting!

So after many years of deliberation, I have finally decided to start a blog. I guess it’ll be mostly an account of my views and pics of my outfits for your perusal. I may occasionally throw in beauty tips along the way, should I find out anything worth contributing to the blog (more on this later!).

Now I will tell you some bits about me and my style. Here is me, excuse the sidewaysness (all is revealed further down the page):

My taste varies widely. Some days I like to wear 50’s tea dresses and heels, and other days I wear jeans, a band tee and sneakers. I think thats the Gemini in me. I have kinda have a split personality. I like to wear mis-matched clothing, I think clashing is good. I love platforms (even though I’m 5′8. I just like to tower over people. Maybe there’s some psychology in there somewhere). I love to DIY (but hardly ever have the time these days). My specialities are t-shirt surgeries, and general garment reconstruction, but have been known to make purses and knickers. I love layering clothes. I think Nautical is cute as can be. I have a slight underwear obsession, which has been curbed of late due to EXTREME lack of money (as opposed to the usual ‘pretty dire lack of money’).

I could go on, but what are words when I could be posting pictures! I shall crack on with that in a minute.

I should add that the above examples of my style/taste are not necessarily ’style/taste’ per se. It depends on the person and about the clothes reflecting individual personality. Being oneself. It’s such a cringe worthy cliche but I find it amazing how one garment can look chic or shit depending on the person wearing it.

I can’t believe I have put you through this tirade. I will try to be more brief in the future. Onto the pictures!
I can’t rotate couple of these pics. On my bf’s Mac and have barely a clue how to operate it!! Also the Digital Cam is missing in action so bare with these vomit inducingly bad quality pics.
