VELVET ORANGE

A pop of colour. In what would otherwise be quite a morbid, monotone outfit. This is a primary example of the importance of a statement piece. Now, I'm the first to declare that I skimp on accessories, so having this unique, cage-like necklace, well it's kind of a big deal. Needless to say, I am in love.

Eclectic. Random. Call it what you want. This look is ultimately a pick and mix of my flavours of the moment. Leather, Skater, Lennon, Gold, Platform, and of course, Velvet Orange.
(Just as a side note, please excuse the face and hair in the pictures below. The wind has it out for me.)

DEMON DAYS

I feel wicked. But not like the musical. Waking up with a serious case of teenage angst, I wanted nothing more than to be a punk rocker with flowers in my hair. But since this isn't a look easily accommodated by my clean cut, high street wardrobe, I had to make do.

Amongst the nauseatingly bright, happy pieces in my closet I found these. Sure, the conjured look might be a bit more neo-sorceress than I was going for, but what's it really matter.  This expresses enough darkness, and enough attitude to the world without being an eye-sore. Today, ladies and gents, I felt sick like Sid and Nancy.

BETWEEN EXTREMES

Incongruity. I reek of it. And so does my sense of style (Ok, 'style' might be a stretch, let's stick with clothes). The desire to be clean cut, conservative and modest (something the grandmother would approve), and the craving to follow hordes of teenagers by wearing baggy, unwashed band t-shirts, denim cut-offs, and Doc Martins; between these extremes is generally where I lie.
The timid nature of a chiffon midi skirt excuses the brash, punk attitude of the spiked collar. It might not be much, but it's my (small) way of rebelling. (I don't tie up my shoe laces either... so badass.)
