FASHION DON'TS #2

Hello!

It's time for Fashion Don'ts part 2, if you haven't seen part 1 you can find it here.

My first item is this Oriental Midi dress from Topshop. Recently, I have seen more longer style dresses coming back into fashion, but the pattern on this is too much. Being able to pull this off would be a miracle because the contrast of patterns on the dress looks too crowded, the black and white stripe patches clash with the oriental pattern, and the red beams going horizontally down the dress ruin the original pattern. In addition, what could you style this with?! A necklace would just make this outfit more havoc, and it would be hard to find a pair of shoes to match. It's a shame, because in my opinion I think the dress would've been an interesting, unique piece without the added patches and beams.
 

The next item is a V London White Butterfly Button Blouse from New Look, on sale for £19.99. The blouse half isn't too bad, but I have no idea why the button half was added because it really doesn't look right. The bottom half looks out of place, and doesn't do anything for the top at all. It looks extremely uncomfortable to wear as the bottom bit is fitted, and would sit in the middle of the stomach, and that would make me feel compacted into the top. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't be willing to pay £19.99, sorry New Look.

 My last and final item are these wolfpack shorts from Batoko. Batoko isn't a well known brand, I found out about it from Instagram and they do really quirky clothing on their website, however some of the shorts are too tacky- like these ones for example. In my opinion, these are over the top with the wolves and studs on, and I would be clueless on what to wear these with. The shorts are £80.00 which I think is a ridiculous amount for a pair of shorts with pictures of wolves on and a few studs, sorry Batoko but these aren't worth the money.

If anyone owns these clothing items, or has a liking towards any then don't take offense as it's just my opinion which doesn't matter.

FASHION DON'TS #1

Hello!

Recently, I have started to notice more and more odd pieces of clothing in shops and I feel it is time to pick them out.

If anyone has the items that I choose, then I don't mean to offend you in any way whatsoever-it's just my opinion.

I am going to be doing the Fashion Don'ts in parts because my list is very long, and would bore some people with endless babbling!

1. This top is a very weird top. What I don't understand is why River Island has mixed denim with soft fabric, it really baffles me. Also, monochrome is an on going trend however River Island have clearly failed in trying to make the acid wash shirt go with the black 'New York' top. If it were me, I'd prefer to cut the bottom half off and just wear the New York top, because the denim is really not doing anything.

2. As soon as I saw this on the Topshop website, I was severely disappointed. The jacket is priced at a shocking £350.00-What on earth? The reason it is that much is partially because the jacket is real leather, but the fact the jacket has 'East End Girls Don't Care' imprinted on the back is very tacky. In addition, I like studded items however the amount of studs on this jacket looks very odd. Topshop have tried to fulfil rock/punk in a jacket, but unfortunately it really isn't working. 

 3. My last and final item for today are these shorts by The Ragged Priest-sold in Topshop. I do like tie dyed clothing, but these shorts look tacky. The colours do not go well together and look as though the tye die has been done badly. Also, I like studded clothing, however the studs around the shorts waistband do not look right. If the shorts were a different colour, then I think the shorts wouldn't look so bad. Lastly, these cost £55 which is way too high, considering you can get some shorts and tie dye them, and add studs yourself, the pricing is unreasonable.


I hope you enjoyed this post, if you do like what I have listed, or own one of the items then I am sorry if I have offended you, but like I said it's just my opinion and it shouldn't matter!
