The "Matching" trend


I'm back! after a few days of horrible weather i finally managed to get out and take a few outfit shots today before the torrential downpour started again so....


I'm  HUGE fan of the "matchy-matchy" trend and i've been seeing it all over the place from high street to runway. Now usually i would insist that this look would ONLY be acceptable on baby twins and old church ladies however exceptions can be made especially when pertaining to fabulousity and down right BEAT-ness.


 I spotted this saucy little number in primark (i know!) and loved it so much i even brought it in another colour (It was pink and turned out to be butters so it was swiftly returned!). The top was actually normal T-shirt length when i brought it but i thought the look would suit a bit more of  crop top so i trimmed the front and hemmed it and left the back the same length for a dip-hem affect. 


It really reminded me of the spice girls in their hey-day with the mini skirts and "belly tops" as they used to be called way back in my day loooong before the "crop top" was coined. So i threw on my platform trainers, fished out my mums old denim jacket from the 90's and went as ratchet as possible with the accessories. I even managed to find a minimalist little monochrome leather rucksack to carry my lollipops in.

Body con mini skirt: Primark £6
Denim Jacket: Cast offs from my mum
