Stars in their eyes





T-shirt - Topshop, jeans - charity shop, belt - River Island, shoes - George at Asda, bag - Primark

Jenny and I took an impromptu trip to the Wharf for shivery pictures galore. I took my style inspiration for today from and episode from the first series of Stars In Their Eyes, which aired in 1990. Unfortunately I couldn't find a picture or video of the lady in question - she impersonated Edith Piaf but before the transformation was wearing hi-waisted jeans and a Keith Haring print baggy t-shirt, and had TRIANGULAR CURLY HAIR that I wish to God I could emulate. Sadly my Vidal Sassoon cut won't allow such bubble-perm frippery, so I was left looking far more modern that I would have liked.

Considering my influences currently revolve around trashy TV and teen film montages circa 1985-1992, expect following posts to detail my sartorial freefall into the past until eventually I wind up repping neon Dynasty shoulders, legwarmers on every limb and crimped arm hair, which is when Blogger will remove my profile and call the fashion gestapo to my house.

In other news I have a new job, knitted an awful hat and have continued the 'bad picmonkey editing' theme with this NINJA SHIT right here:
