Photographic evidence!

Yes, me again, I know it's been less than 24 hours since my last post, but seeing as a left all you avid readers (ha) hanging for a whole week, I thought I'd treat you to another one right away. STAT. And this one's even more exciting because it's got photographic evidence, oh yes siree.

I decided that as the sun's out for once, I'd grab my threads and head out into the garden with Elisse and her sensational camera and have a little photo sesh, just to give you a sample of some of my concoctions and prove that I don't really look like a hobo, just a bit fashionically confused (definitely not a word. But not as bad as chazzy). I feel like I've given even more back to the community today, as numerous passers by got an eyeful during my outfit changes, lucky them. I say passers by, they were actually people walking right through the garden as the general public seem to use it as an acceptable short cut. Maybe the sight of me struggling in and out of second hand menswear was just too enticing to resist trespassing on my land. Tight.

So anyway here they are...I'll tell you where the things were from and how much they were, just incase you want to buy them. Except you can't. Because I already have. Roll VT...


This is actually what I'm wearing today. Brogues (£6) Bluebell Wood Hospice shop, Sheffield; jacket (£2.50) Cancer Research, Sheffield; bag (£2), scarf (£1) and jumper (£4) Samaritans shop, Sheffield; shorts (were jeans) (£5) Cancer Research, Edinburgh.


Top (yes it is covered in gold hats) (£3.99) and bag (£2.99) Bluebell Wood, Sheffield.



Made a nice little urban turban out of the scarf from before. Ha. Tshirt (£1) and cardigan (£3) Cancer Research, Sheffield; skirt (£4) Cancer Research, Edinburgh.


Oh look at me I'm so weary of all this posing. Scarf (£4) Oxfam, Edinburgh; top (£2.99) Oxfam, Sheffield; Belt (£1.50) and chelsea boots (£15) Cancer Research, Edinburgh; shorts (jeans) Bluebell Wood, Sheffield.

Well dressed country gentleman vibe... tweed hat (£4) Bluebell Wood, Sheffield; wax jacket (£7.50) Cancer Research, Edinburgh.

Debated whether or not to put this one in as I look like a massive tool but never mind, I'm doing it for the kids. Tshirt (£2) Oxfam, Edinburgh.

Hmm...casual. Bag (£3.99) Bluebell Wood, Sheffield; polka dot shirt thing (£2.99) Oxfam, Sheffield. (black boob tube is made out of a pair of tights) (yes that is allowed).

This is a bit homeless I'll admit. Parka (£5) Oxfam, Sheffield.

Enthusiastic. Jumper (£4) Cancer Research, Sheffield.

Foraging.

Rummaging.

As you can see, I'm putting the tights rule to good use, i.e. wearing them with every single outfit. This avoidance of trousers is mainly due to the fact that walking into Oxfam and asking if they do a 36" leg is not likely to have a high success rate, and it's all too easy to make denim shorts. Having said that, I have purchased a pair of blue velvet flares that I am relutcant to chop up, so watch this space because I may have a change of heart...

Peace x
