What We Wore

Today was a special day, I was overly inspired by the recent Burberry menswear, and I created a little something in honor...


 That's right... Today I wore:

Embellished Topman Jumper using Military buttons bought off E-Bay, Pleather jeans from H&M and River Island Buckled Boots.


I felt extra special wearing my embellished shoulder jumper today, I had many compliments from all staff at River Island Head Office, and it gave me a little kick in my step, which I am very much in need of, I have been extra moody this week - call it my time of the month, haha! But anyway, I bought the buttons from E-Bay - 60 for £10, which I thought was an absolute bargain seeing as they are quite expensive for just one button in local haberdasheries from what I hear, although these buttons did smell very vintage.
Nothing a bit of perfume cannot fix.

I wish I had ordered more buttons, as there were about 100 more, but I only ordered 60, I would have been able to create the more extravagant effect as seen here on the Burberry catwalk, however, I was happy with what I had created and it was enough for now, maybe in the future I will button a whole shirt, until then...

Alice wore:

All River Island. She was representing today, and she did it in the same Military chic I was pulling off. I love how we manage to match most days and yet have such different tastes in style.

  4. Hey Thanks, I love a bit of customization, It is annoying that it prob did cost more than the Burb version... One day I'll own that Burb version and I wont care! And Military would look great with short hair? x
