Hide the hair(ry legs)
(reworked denim jacket, mine shrug, gifted vest, gifted skirt from india, office shoes, diesel sunnies)
When the lady shaver was left at Bestie From Africa’s Mum and Dad’s house and Flattie took hers away for the weekend, hairy legs were a problemo and needed to be hidden. The langer skirt came out.
I do love a long skirt, especially this one as it was a present from the beautiful Ms. Kass posted here, but if you’re not careful they can look a little ’93…Do you know what I mean? Loved that whole grunge theme, hippy beads, big boots, cotton tops, youth club discos but must remember…Am not 15…Put those boots and beanie hat (borrowed from Bro Dude) down and learn to wear it a ‘slightly maturer’ way.
…Well, when I say mature I mean something that fits my real age and not my mental age.
Ps. Just to let you know that a new razor has now been per-chased and I am no longer sanpapering Flattie with my legs everytime I sit next to her on the sofa.

Housemate and I were talking about long skirts last night. We went to Somerset House Summer Screen and we were excitedly taking in everyone’s fashion choices (it was a hot day and you know you’re going to have a nice picnic but essentially what do you wear to sit/lounge/lie on the floor and watch a film…) The long floaty was quite a popular option as was the playsuit (both short and long). However I’ve just never been able to pull them off – long skirts that is. Never. Not even in ’93. Have recently ventured into long dresses for the first time but that’s probably all I dare to try for now. By the way, at Summer Screen we watched ‘Thelma & Louise’ so now have an overwhelming urge to wear double denim, cowboy hats, head scarves and very flowery underwear (tho not all at once). Oh and also to go on a road trip (except hopefully one with a less tragic ending…) xXx
They are a tricky one my friend but I think you defo need to get into them. The key is to wear flats, never try and wear a heel and have a long skirt…I mean long….get it to the ground. Yes it’s going to get grubby but so what. You’re on the right track with starting out with the long dresses…Use that height of yours girl!
I’m well up for a road trip in headscarves and underwear!!! love a bit a double denim too…Although not so much on a man, can look a little ’83. x
