Nobody Told Me It's Okay To Grow

Shirt: Vera Moda
Dress: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: New Look
Hat: Vintage

I felt like I was in a Wes Anderson movie in this outfit and I can't quite place why. This shirt was one of my purchases from Sweden and apparently looks like a labcoat when I go round corners, not sure if that was a compliment or not. I wore this on Saturday for a trip into town and lazing around. You'll be sick of this hat by the end of winter but I won't.



I had a thoroughly unsatisfying shopping day in London yesterday, I didn't buy a single thing. I think I'm in a shopping funk. Why is it that when you have money you can never find anything? It's always like that for me and I'm tired of it. I need to splurge. I just can't find anything that fits what I have in mind. Maybe, I need to fit up the charity shops when I get back to Leeds and do some DIYing. 



On my list of DIY's is elbow patches, I love them and want them on everything this winter. This shirt was my first step towards that although I want to put tweed ones on cardigans myself. 
Any tips for how to get out of my fashion funk?
Also, I'm updating my blogshop today with a bunch of new stuff so please check that out.

the money curse! I know it all too well..I say diying is the way to go, plus it will keep you busy and inside while it's freezing outside. I love the idea of the patchwork! I'll have to remember that in the future

I love the shirt and shoes! So perfect together. I would love to sew elbow patches onto a grandpa cardigan. That would be a dream come true. I can also never find anything when I have money!

There's always a necessity for a bobble hat! I always find that people look at me strangely when I'm wearing one though...
