Pretty Pretty Petticoat

Oh dear, why didn't I fix my collar? It's all lop-sided in these. Now ignore my complete and utter awkwardness - I did these for my friend and was totally embarrassed. But I do like his total skills with the film camera because the light in them is gorgeous even though it was such a crappy day weather wise. I look about 12 :') http://lookbook.nu/look/1686987-Pretty-Pretty-Petticoat Untitled , a photo by  John too  on Flickr. Untitled , a photo by  John too  on Flickr.

Before You Were Mine

I'm ten years away from the corner you laugh on with your pals, Maggie McGeeney and Jean Duff. The three of you bend from the waist, holding each other, or your knees, and shriek at the pavement. Your polka-dot dress blows round your legs. Marilyn. I'm not here yet. The thought of me doesn't occur in the ballroom with the thousand eyes, the fizzy, movie tomorrows the right walk home could bring. I knew you would dance like that. Before you were mine, your Ma stands at the close with a hiding for the late one. You reckon it's worth it. The decade ahead of my loud, possessive yell was the best one, eh? I remember my hands in those high-heeled red shoes, relics, and now your ghost clatters toward me over George Square till I see you, clear as scent, under the tree, with its lights, and whose small bites on your neck, sweetheart? Cha cha cha! You'd teach me the steps on the way home from Mass, stamping stars from the wrong pavement. Even then I wanted the bold girl wink...

It's Like You'll Never Get It Done

The cutest little paisley dress with a peter pan collar. It's a shame it doesn't really fit me anymore, the waistband just sits a bit too high; I'm going to say it's because I've grown... http://lookbook.nu/look/1635059-It-s-Like-You-ll-Never-Get-it-Done dress & cardigan -  Urban Outfitters    necklace -  Dorothy Perkins ring - ebay Brogues - Primark

This curious child was fond of pretending to be two people.

A quote from Alice in Wonderland, about myself. I love acting. I don't think I know why but I just enjoy going to drama so much. It's changed a lot since we did Malice in Wonderland but all my friends are there and I'm sooo looking forward to being the White Witch of Narnia (our upcoming production). But I got this top and bracelet to remind me of the amazing times I had being Alice, nearly 2 years ago now. http://lookbook.nu/look/1492665-this-curious-child-was-fond-of-pretending-to-be-two-people cardigan -  Vintage    t shirt -  Urban Outfitters jeans - h&m Matt's incredible drawing that he did - he wrote the show and directed it.

Pack it in Autumn, Please

Oh my discovery of 'vintage'. Not to get to carried away with but I did go rather crazy over old things as well as clothes. http://lookbook.nu/look/1475433-Pack-it-in-Autumn-Please duffle coat -  ebay shirt - vintage Trousers - Boohoo Brogues - Primark suitcase found in my attic

Little Red Dress

Another few photos I took of a particular outfit. It's interesting to see how I started off and I love having these photos, even though they're not amazing or anything, but I can just see how I've changed. I find them really weird but it's just me at 15! Dress - Asos Brogues - Primark Brogues - Dorothy Perkins
