I am wearing a pair of my bleached denim Levis from this post here so happy with how they turned out as I really hated them black and would never of worn them I love it when you diy something that would of sat in the bottom of the wardrobe and I was also on the hunt for a pair of white cut offs so this has also solved that problem.

Transformed

Yesterday I took advantage of the sunny weather and spent the day bleaching Levis 501's out in the garden. I am quite happy with the transformation esp the black ones as I really did not like them oh a warning when attempting this wear gloves I did not first time round and I burnt my fingers oh and it takes quite a few times to get the desired colour.

I love this kimono and I cant stop myself from spinning and twirling in it :) the temperature has dropped a little and even though it looks quite warm I have to admit it was a little bit cold for bare legs it is after all still April but I still cant believe what gorgeous weather we have been having. I am wearing my much loved and very old moccasins I am not a big lover of flat shoes but these are the exception.

I am loving using my neighbours beautiful magnolia tree in my pics. I sadly have no trees in my garden so I thought I would make the most of theres as it won't look like that for long. I am rocking my DIY version of the Bitching and Junkfood denim shorts. I cant believe how amazing the weather has been these last few days.

Spent Out

Vest H&M, Levis Cut Offs ebay, Boots (old), Shawl Miss Selfridge (old), Necklace Topshop via ebay, Rings Topshop & Margie Heart Vintage

I have had so much fun this month buying things. I have been on ebay buying Levis to turn into shorts this pair being one of them. Then I decided that I really wanted that dip dyed fringe necklace and of course Topshop had sold out ages ago but hey yep I found one on ebay. The silver ring was a little treat on a lunch time shopping spree opps along with a huge turquoise pendant both from Toppers.

My outfit was inspired from Inside my Head and my Wardobe check her out she has gorgeous style and an amazing wardrobe of fabulous Topshop pieces could not help poaching her shawl idea I have had this one for ages.

So pleased with my latest DIY check the post out here. I am also pleased that I can actually wear faded Levis 501 denim cut offs in the winter as I really enjoyed wearing them in the summer. Teamed with a lot of black they work perfectly.

Short and sweet today chickens manic at work retail this time of year is busy and the hours long :(((. Oh well it is also lots of fun helping guys pick pressies for their partners and I love wrapping it all nice in the box so they will get a lovely surprise when they lift the lid.

Old with a touch of new

Blouse Cacharel, Vest Primark, Cut Offs Topshop, Boots Dune, Bag Chloe

I am wearing some old pieces here. The blouse is by Cacharel we used to stock it at work but sadly stopped about a year ago I was drawn to the colours and pattern of it it reminds me of clouds. The bag is also old and is by Chloe again I was drawn to the colour. You can see why my title is called old with a touch new the boots are a new addition to my shoe collection. My nan knitted the headband and it keeps my ears nice and warm.

Happy Thanks Giving to my American readers :))))

Gold & Green

Cut Off's DIY, Shawl Ronit Zilkha, Cami New Look (old), Wedges Topshop

I love the combination of gold and green the two colors work so beautifully together. I saw a picture of the gorgeous Miss Moss wearing cut offs and a beautiful shawl and I remembered I had this one I brought it years ago and the detail on it is stunning this was the inspiarion for todays outfit. The weather has been gorgeous but it is still too cold to let go of my faithful black tights yet.

Miss Moss Style

Cut Offs DIY, Jacket Miss Selfridge, Belt New Look, Boots Urban Outfitters, Body Topshop

I really do love Kate Moss laid back style and how she looks in denim cut offs. This outfit is based loosely on this. I brought the sequin jacket from Miss Selfridge at Christmas time I have only worn it once but with cut offs it had a feel of Miss Moss festival looks. I had to wear tights as it is still too cold to loose them. She really is the Queen of cut offs. Sorry for miserable face and I am having a bad hair day dont you just hate them :(
