Outfit #2

dungarees- H&M

shoes- Dr Martens

top- Topshop

earrings- a super cool shop in Lisbon

So peeps, this is my second ever outfit post in the history of evaaaaa'. Yay. Thanks for joining me, free metaphorical cookies for you all :) If you could kindly look past my spotty chin and the annoying camel toe that seems to appear sometimes when I wear these dungarees, then you'll see that today's outfit post is all about dungarees and colour matching, with particular emphasis on metallic colours like gold, bronze and silver (ie. this is basically an excuse for me to wear my amazingly funky gold Dr Martens).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So if you wanna achieve this look, you will firstly need a pair of dungarees in a neutral colour eg. black, navy blue, light or dark grey...

Next, you want to match the colour of the top, jumper or jersey that you wear underneath your dungarees, to the colour of the dungarees themselves and get the colour as close as possible. If your top has a pattern on it or some form of detail, that's even better- the top I'm wearing is a crop top with a gorgeous blue lace pattern on it- because it allows the top and dungarees to be distinguished separately.

TOP IDEAS FOR BLACK AND DARK VELVET DUNGAREES

And of course the same principle would apply to grey dungarees and so on.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next thing to do is to check out the detailing on your dungarees, so for this you're looking at the buttons, the zips, the buckles on the straps etc. because more often than not, these will be in one of the shades on the metallic spectrum. This metallic colour is now the colour you're aiming to accessorize with, so that means shoes and jewellery in particular. Of course this isn't a strict rule- my dungaree detailing is bronze but I chose to accessorize in gold- so don't feel limited by this, just play around with different shades of metallic and have fun fun fun.

Now when it comes to shoes, your entire shoe collection is your oyster. You want to be choosing shoes that are either metallic in colour or in neutral shades with metallic detailing, for example...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And as for jewellery, larger earrings in particular work a treat however go with what's comfortable for you, and the same principle applies with all other jewellery, as well as keeping it all to the same metallic shade as ya dungarees.

And now that we're done, here's a random song to get you up and dancing.... 

SHELTER SONG, TEMPLES

Howdy August

Today we say hello to August and goodbye to July.

I can't believe how fast this summer is going, because although it seems kind of infinite and never ending, it's still speeding by faster than I ever thought it would. I left college in May and finished my exams in June and I can't tell you enough how amazing it's been to not have to think about college or exams or work or revision, and to just be able to wake up at whatever time I like and do whatever the hell I like and have that be 100% okay.

And now it's August, which is a super duper important month for me because on Thursday 14th, aka. A Level Results day aka. scariest day in the history of eveeer, the next three to four years of my life and the whole direction of my life in general will be decided and confirmed in exactly thirteen days time and I want to a dig a hole and hide in it every time I dare think about it. I can't stand it! And then after that day comes and goes, I have to start preparing for the next phase in my life, university (hopefully), and getting mentally and emotionally and literally prepared to actually move out of my house and leave my family behind to head to Take That Land (Manchester doesn't seem as scary when I call it that).

Therefore I feel like these next couple of weeks especially I need to really make the most of summer, spending time with the famalam and my friends and just having a really really super fun chilled exciting time. So to make sure we all remember just how amazing summer is and to make the most of it whilst it's still here, here are some funky photos to keep you in the spirit.
