pink to make the boys wink.




Today I finally got around to altering some of the clothes I thrifted while in Paris. Most of the clothes I bought need a little something doing to them before they will really suit me.

This skirt was something that Sadie decided she didn't want, so I snapped it up. I've never been much of a pink girl until recently, and I fell in love with the colour and the gigantic pockets. I'm a sucker for a pocket. 

It was a very unflattering length, so today I took it up and it was so perfect that I had to put it on immediately. I love how it picks up the pink flowers in this H&M top. I teamed it with Models Own nailvarnish in Lilac Dream, my lilyloveslola bracelet, and my cat transfer tattoo from Harriet!

I love the tats on your arms, especially the kitty. Love that floral top :)

Rachael Langan said...

I love how you have a tattoo on your inner upper arm, i toyed with the idea of having one there, but i decided against it due to jobs and stuff. I'm still trying to find a good place to put the first tattoo i want (I want loads, but i know what i'm getting first). I love all your outfits!

Such a cute skirt I'm a sucker for pockets as well, I could live in them, ha!
Loving the cat transfer tat. It'll be sad when it rubs off though.

distract_me said...

Great skirt, love the pockets!

Shireen said...

I love your skirt. Don't you find that modern skirts just don't have big enough pockets compared to vintage ones!? I have a few midi skirts that I might tailor to this length. It looks beautiful.

I know what you mean about pockets,I am always so excited when I find dresses or skirts with them.
Your tattoos are really nice, have you done a separate post on them? Would really like to hear about them in more detail. I want to get some seagulls on my wrist, but at the moment can't quite decide on the design. I had an idea but its apparently too small so I will have to think again!
