Flowers and lace- trashified


  



These light blue upcycled shorts are my most popular item in my Etsy shop (the most favourited item I mean), yet no one has bought them..... Maybe they are over priced? (22pounds) Anyways, I though why not do a post in this popular theme?


I'll tell you now my inspiration was Dolly-Kei. Their use of florals and lace, customization and fresh ideas are so original! (more on Dolly-Kei later, a whole post shall be dedicated;)

These are the shorties:

4 Alternative Ways to wear a leather and flower headband...


 So I made these head bands for my Etsy shop, and my friend said to me... I wouldn't know how to wear a headband like that! Shock! Horror! Well I better show you how.....



90's Grunger  Looks cute with pigtails! May be hard to tell in the picture, but the top is vintage 90s psychedelic sunflower top with sheer sleeves, distressed grey cut offs shorts and platform boots.



Festival time!!!!!  Really, can't go wrong here! All you need is some denim shorts and a funky crop top



Flower Child.  Looks a best with wavy long hair and bare feet. Note the double headband for ultimate flower effect!

Grunge/festival/vintage lace

This is like a fusion of styles, but personally I think sheer lace, flower band and Dark lipstick (in this case navy blue) are a match made in heaven. (or hell! ;).... )
















Other styles I wish I could of included: Mori Girl,  Gypsy Woman, Woodland elfsprite!


These are the headbands featured.    Available for international sale in my Etsy shop

. FUNKADELIC BABY!


Not saying we dress badly now, its all totally dependant on the person etc.... but DAMN! 50-40 years ago it was so much more FUNKY! I think thats why we cant let it go.... we miss the GROOVE, we miss the FOXY ladies, we miss the outrageously sexy....Perhaps?

Well here is a little assortment of  sexy finds.

*Note: this particular post is centred around the word in capitals, not to get confused with a 70's fashion appreciation post, which will come later and a lot more detailed..

Oh god these clotheses are sooooooooo gorgeous!!!
My favourites are the purple fringed jacket, the purple velvet Go-Go's and the brown patchwork boots,  the patchwork jacket, the yellow flares  and the platform clogs!!!!


My favourite thing to note about this..... No Fear!
No fear to clash prints, to look outrageous or over the top!
 There ain't no "style rules"!
Its all full-on, offensive, playful fashion. And I like.
So my last thing for your consideration.... In my world fashion crime is fashionable, and gutsy is hot. Step over the line and never return!
