Top: 1975 Merch, Cardigan: Very, Snood: Primark, PVC Pants: River Island, Shoes: Converse
Ahh another all black ensemble. These PVC pants are such a polarising item, I love them but I know a lot of people hate them, on a night out one charming gentleman even called me a rather rude name for wearing them. I love them because they remind me of the suit from American Horror Story season 1, is that weird? I picked up the t-shirt when we went to go see them live (vlog on our Youtube if you missed it- link to the right), the design gives a really cool aesthetic. I think this outfit is a little bit goth, a little bit weird and a whole lotta good.
Let me know how you feel about PVC!

Top: Topshop, Disco Pants: AA, Coat: River Island, Creepers: Underground X Urban Outfitters, Necklace: Nasty Gal, Bag: 'Borrowed' off my Mum
It seems that I pull fashion inspiration from the weirdest places. I've recently discovered my new favourite show, "Freak Show" and with it I've rediscovered my love for the weird and creepy. I'll admit the shows not for everyone, two headed baby in a jar or a man putting a meat hook through his nose anyone? But I really do love it, in fact I'm currently nurturing a secret desire to become a sword swallower.... Also, my FAVOURITE book for a long time was Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children which features a Victorian photograph of two young children dressed up as clowns and I just wanted to pretend to be that today.
Okay so maybe it's weird to want to dress like a Victorian sad clown child but my rediscovery of passion for the creepy and macabre has filtered into my wardrobe. We've spoke about AHS on here before and I even did an OOTD inspired by season three, so maybe this can be my season four inspired outfit?
This top I picked up for New Years Eve and haven't worn it since (I know! Need to stop buying things) and I decided that it was very circus and carnival like. I've had my disco pants for about 4 years now and thought I'd pull them on as it had been a while. Of course I had to begrudgingly throw the coat back on as it has gone cold again and obviously this mesh tshirt isn't the warmest. My shoes are the brogue creepers that were brought out in Underground and Urban Outfitters collab, I've been told that they look like clown shoes so I thought they'd be perfect to compliment this clown look.
For makeup I used Makeup Geek's Insomnia which is basically MAC's blue brown as it matches the duo chrome of the sequins and I drew a triangle of glitter under my eye to look like a traditional Harlequin clown or to look like glitter tears. Whichever floats your boat. Oh and yes, I wore this ensemble in my volunteering shift at Oxfam, they are used to it by now!
Sad clown child forever,

P.S. Here's the photo I was inspired by, if you're scared of clowns maybe look away now....
I KNOW I'M SUPER WEIRD.
Hat: Topshop, t-shirt: Cheap Monday, jeans: Cheap Monday, coat: River Island, Shoes: Underground X Urban Outfitters creepers
It was definitely a bold choice to wear a hat with the current strong winds! I'm obsessed with American Horror Story and I've been lusting after a wide brimmed fedora after being inspired by the members of the Coven. I'm wearing my Cheap Monday jeans from Karmaloop,I love the wash and they're a very comfy fit due to being high waisted and stretchy. This Cheap Monday t-shirt is a staple in my wardrobe as it's so soft! I've worn this coat to death over the past few months, I think it's a really good dupe for an Acne jacket and it keeps me warm. To top it all off I threw on some simple rosary beads to add to the Coven look as well as my chunky brogue style creepers.
I'm the next Supreme!
