Shirt is a silk top from Zara, very similar to my Theory one in weight/texture but with long sleeves which looks very pirate-like, which I enjoy. Pirates = sexy.
Siwy shorts.
Belt is from John Lewis I don't believe it has a brand, i got it because the price was great and I loved the leopard. The buckle was a glaring shiny yellow gold colour originally, so I changed it into this pretty matte rose gold. I basically threw some oven cleaner and vinegar on it and scrubbed away. I'm happy it turned out so well; it could have been a disaster. I hate shiny gold hardware, it makes everything look so cheap. Someone should inform Tod's.
Short coat from h&m that I got a couple of weeks ago and I haven't worn until now because I wanted to change the buttons. In my peregrinations to Liberty I eventually found some big shiny beautiful buttons.
I'm pretty sure this coat is inspired on a Stella McCartney one that I've seen afterwards and that looks just like it. This one caught my attention because of the weight, it moves really nicely, it's the viscose. I hadn't been to h&m in ages! The atmosphere always puts me off..clothes in piles...it hurts me to see clothes in piles. But they had some cool stuff.
I go through stages with these "trendy" chain stores. Right now I feel like Topshop is soo overpriced and the quality so lacking. Last time I went there I couldn't find a beaded top that wasn't broken, and they were like 80 pounds. I might aswell go to Antik Batik. (Also why is everything mustard coloured??) For me, affordable is 30 pounds or less. Anything over that, unless the quality is good, is just false economy. If you think about it, these companies wouldn't be so rich if the cost wasn't ridiculously low compared to the benefits.
