FOR ME FASHION IS REALLY ABOUT SELF EXPRESSION AND NOT TAKING MYSELF TOO DAMN SERIOUSLY. ALTHOUGH I DO THE 'STARE OF SERIOUSNESS' FOR THE CAMERA, I'M DITZY AND SILLY IN MY TRUENESS AT LIFE (EEEK! MADE UP WORD). AND ONE  OF THE MAIN THINGS I DEFINITELY LOVE DOING IS HAVING FUN! (A BIT TOO HARD AT TIMES).  WITHOUT SOUNDING TOO SELF INDULGENT OR BOLD I JUST LOVE TO WEAR PIECES THAT TRULY REFLECT THAT CHARACTER TRAIT WITHIN ME. PIECES THAT ARE A BIT QUIRKY AND ZANY WHICH KIND OF STEM FROM MY OWN PERSONALITY. 

SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET AT (IN A LONG WINDED WAY) IS THAT I'M IN DEEP LOVE WITH THIS BEAUT OF A 'ANIMAL PRINT' PIECE. AS IT HONESTLY DOES ALL THE ABOVE THINGS FOR ME. CRAZY, WILD, STUPID, FUN, PROUD, STRONG, FREE, FIERY AND SILLY. DETAILING ALL THE ELEMENTS OF INTEREST THAT MAKE AN OUTFIT STAND ALONE. A STRONG STATEMENT OF WHO I AM.

AND THE LEO IS DEFINITELY A 'WARDROBE STATEMENT PIECE', ALTHOUGH I ALSO LOVE HOW THE ANIMAL PRINT CAN BE VERSATILE AND PLAYED DOWN WITH A SMALLER INJECTION OF COLOUR SUCH AS A PRINTED SCARF, SHOES, BAG OR BELT. I'M ALSO FOND OF THE ANIMAL PRINT AND ANY FORM OF DENIM COMBINATION.

ALTHOUGH I DO TEND TO WEAR VARIED ANIMAL PRINTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR (SHHH I'VE LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY I HAVE), AUTUMN IS THE SEASON THAT ALLOWS 'THE TREND' TO BECOME MORE ALIVE. THE DEWY BROWNS, DULL YELLOWS AND RUSTIC COLOURS COMPLETELY SLIP INTO THIS SEASON AND I LOVE IT. 

NOW I WOULD BEGIN TO SPEAK OF THE OTHER PIECES I STYLED THE SHIRT ALONGSIDE BUT I COULD BE HERE ALL BLOOODY NIGHT. BUT NO DOUBT YOU'LL BE SEEING THIS 70'S DRESS OF DREAMS, FLUFFY ANKLE BOOT AND WHITE BASKET ONCE AGAIN. SO I'LL SAVE ME DELVE OF A SPIEL TILL THEN. 

WHAT DOES FASHION ACTUALLY MEAN TO YOU?
