I'm a Festival, I'm a Parade

Dress: Primark
Shirt: Forever 21
Belt: Asos
Tights: Next
Boots: Asos

My friend did a car boot sale to try and get rid of her stuff to start a fund for our trip to Japan. I offered to go and keep her company so I got up, got dressed and rode my bike into town. Yes, I rode a bike in this outfit.
I picked up this dress when I was in Leeds and was instantly inspired to create a grunge outfit with it. Grunge is one of my huge inspirations but it doesn't often show up in my style, mainly because it's been summer. You can't see but the dress is velvet, the tights are polkadot and the boots are my new loves! I paired it with the red plaid shirt to give it some layering as it looked freezing from my window. It turned out to be a really warm day though, followed by an evening of torrential downpour.

Some other photos from the day. She managed to make a bit of a profit and as a result, I'm definitely going to be updating my blogshop  over the next few days. Please check it out as I have a lot of clothes I need to get rid of to clear some space. Reasonable prices for great clothes!
