trash

Crochet top: thrift. Crochet flares: Beacons Closet. Cycling shorts (unseen): Random. Wedges: Urbanog. Bird skull necklace: LF. Hat: H&M. Love necklace: W hotel store. Cream ring: H&M. Coral stone ring: YSL. Black rings: Random shop
Found these crochet flares yesterday at Beacons Closet when dumping about 3 huge bags of clothes for sale. One mans trash.... That's what I thought when I saw the flares.
The platform wedges are from here (bought ankle boots from them last year and they've been fine considering the tiny price tags).
My dream wedge is a vintage wood monster platform in brown leather but since my feet are so damn big I'm making do with the platform look where I can get it instead.
Of course - I'm keeping my eyes peeled. Might get lucky one day.

  70. I really love this look. The crochet top and flares look amazing. I have to say, I'm not brave enough to give this look a go, but it looks amazing on you. However, I am seriously considering picking up a hat like this one, it looks stylish yet laid back at the same time.

  79. Maggie - I wear it like this for a few days then have to wash it and start again. It's not too hard though. Just air dry in pigtails with conditioner in in it.

    Erica - wooooahhhhhh biiiiiig compliment

    Diana - and if there was a jumpsuit OMG I would be FIRST IN LINE

    Fashion Chalet - thx you : )

    Nicky - you should get one. Feels casual or lady like. You decide.

    Stylorectic - I hope one day we meet. Honest.

    Caylee - aww thx you!

    Emm - its a Nikon D90.

    Thx everyone for the comments. I LOVE CROCHET. Been like that for YEARS now. To me it never dates.
