Red & Blue




Today I wanted to try something different with my outfit. I like vintage style, so sometimes it does make me look older, or not at my best advantage, so I tried to be a bit more contemporary, if I can, even though I don't really like it. It's not my thing, so it does fail, sometimes. I always wear leather shoes, brogues, or lace up boots, but lately I wanted to be more comfortable. But then I couldn't wear those (ugly) fashionable trainers, combined with a rather smart/vintage outfit ! As I say the only trainers that was worn in the past could be, for me a pairs of Converse. So I went hunting for a pair of white one (cheeky cheeky, they are fake ones from New Look, one of the shop I would never believe going in ). White. Easy to match with any colored outfit, and so I could wear it with white socks, for a little girl/tennis player/summer look (as I liked on the model of the french designer, Jacquemus during Paris Fashion Week). It does make the outfit a bit cooler, and different as you wouldn't mix trainers with a pencil skirt, but anyway now it's quite common. Well, not much for me. 
I love this top from COS. I think the print look quite 30s, so to complement the look, I wanted to change my hairdo. I never know what to do with my hair. I want to make a vintage style with them, but I never have time to do something sophisticated, or either I don't know how to do it. Well, a quick, messy on-the-top-of-my-head-susie-bubble bun usually does it. Actually I wanted to use some of the cute hair clip I have ( you can't really see it on the picture :/), so I just did the messy bun on my neck, did a twist with a bit of hair on a side, add the hair clip, and it's done ! It does give an innocent attitude, like a Flemish painting !
