Vintage Advantage
I haven’t done an outfit post in a while and to be honest – I’m not quite sure if you like them. I just think that because I don’t get many comments about them. As you can imagine they are very hard to do. Firstly, I have to feel like having my picture taken (it seems more likely that I would feel like having root canal but having a photographer for a husband and photoshop help). Secondly, I have to choose an outfit that I like (I mean how impossible is that???) Then lastly, I have to fight with Jason about how I want it shot. I am keen for the same-same look but he always wants to do something different, push the envelope, take it up a notch. Must have something to do with his adventurous nature but, you know, once you find a pose that flatters you then really, why change it? Here is my uniform these days – give or take the bicycle – striped top, jeans leggings and flats. An interesting aside I should mention (and this is for my mum who reads this much to my consternation) is that this top was originally my mother’s and is as old as I am. It is somewhat falling apart but I think it gives it that worn-in rock-and-roll look all the kids are wearing these days. And it is lucky to have survived because I am one of those girls that systematically and religiously throws things out that I don’t wear or don’t like anymore. I have never lived in a place with any sort of storage so I need to keep my wardrobe pared back to a minimum. That is why I am amazed this top has survived any number of ruthless trashing sessions. I imagine it will be one of those rare pieces of clothing that really will just fall apart. What pieces of clothing have you owned that you have worn to death?
