Things that I like.

eh, this is gunna be a pointless pic spam to fill some rather neglected space

Blazers: I wear mine everywhere, it is possibly my main wardrobe staple, either open over a t-shirt and trousers, or buttoned and belted over a dress... I have so many outfits that I seem to complete with my blazer. I just need to build a collection of them now so that I don't feel so repetitive.

Belts: I usually wear belts to cinch in at the waist, to assentuate and create neat lines and a more defined silhouette, because I am so guilty of wearing clothes with no shape, which I bought specifically for the looseness and androgyny, and then belting over them anyway. I especially love leather (or faux leather) ones, generally brown, with a nice buckle, and a vintage air.

Shorts and tights: both of these things, seperately and together. I love them.

White shirts/Menswear in general: I wish I didn't love menswear... I'm not at all interested in male fashion in general for some reason, but I love the mens section on the high street, especially in H&M... They seem to get everything that I long for and it makes me mad >:(

Wedges: My more recent obsession with shoes is both saddening and delightful. I need more.

Floaty dresses: I like to feel girly.

I obviously like more than just this, but if I had my way, I think my wardrobe might be almost entirely made up of these things. Mhm.

Rufford Park Medieval Fair

I really love old clothes - not just vintage, but also 18th Century clothes, clothing from medieval times etc... They just have a quality about them that is really beautiful, and I'm constantly wishing for previous-century inspired fashion (which is probably why I loved Alexander Mcqueen's last collection so much).

Anywho, today I went with my family to Rufford Park, where as part of Robin Hood month they were having a Medieval Weekend Fair. We happened upon it entirely by accident, and it was fantastic, with stalls full of filigree and weaponry and cloth and armour... I honestly think I was more excited about it than my 6 year old cousin.

Here are some photos:



I wanted everything, but I couldn't get anything :( So I just had to photo it all instead :D




Check out this guy's beard!
