If I told you I was wearing tartan, leather and lace to work today you’d probably picture a punk-inspired outfit right? Well I have to say that this prim and proper look is about as close to punk as I ever get. The prompt for today is tartan, which suits me perfectly because this tartan pencil skirt is on high rotation in my wardrobe.
Tartan, like spots/stripes/leopard, is just one of those prints which seems to mix well with so many others. I have a seemingly endless supply of outfit combos which involve this skirt, which is perfect because it’s slightly too big and hence suuuuuper comfy!
My entire outfit today is op-shopped which is always very exciting. Wearing and shopping second hand has
just become second nature to me, so I’m always surprised when I hear a person
say they’ve never tried it. All I can really say is DO IT!!! (and then show me
what you find!).

Agree, it's pretty rare I'm wearing an outfit that doesn't include at least one op-shopped/traded/second-hand item!
ReplyDeleteI know, I always feel like I've got this awesome secret when I'm wearing a fully op shopped outfit... although it's not much of a secret as I brag about it to any one who will listen! haha!
