Yellow Fever

Being such a big fan of prints and patterns, i decided to put this outfit together . . .



Yes, it's a little chaotic and heavy on the eyes, but i actually like how congruous the look is.
The vest is an Active Resistance scribble piece from Vivienne Westwoods 'I am expensiv' range, it features a few of her slogans and images from the line up erratically scrawled all over the vest.

The trousers are the same ones i posted a few months ago. From the Anglomania range, they've had a good wear in already.

I added the braces and handkerchief just to give the outfit an extra tszuj.The shorts don't have belt hoops, or anything like that. Not that they need them, as they're pretty high waisted, however i decided to add the braces to give a more chaotic look. Plus the handkerchief at my stomach is a different way to make use of something you wouldn't normally put there, totally for decoration, but giving you a more unique result.

Scarves & HandkerchiefsI bought this handkerchief quite a while back and to be honest, I haven't really used it much.
The yellow in the photo has been washed out by the flash, but i assure you it is bright. I've always liked yellow and blue together, maybe it's a childhood influence from Saturday mornings watching X-Men, but when i saw this scarf, it was kind of bought on a whim, i figured i'd find a use for it in the future.

I was back home in England for Christmas, so Ben and I decided to hit the sales. Usually we avoid Topman and Topshop due to everyone ending up looking like clones, but we decided to have a look in anyway.
The clothes weren't the best, but we found that a lot of the pieces of jewellery were actually pretty decent (Designs, not quality)
So after looking around a little while, i discovered a Lion Head Brooch which looked like an antique door knocker. My friend had a necklace very similar which i've always admired, so i took an instant liking to it and bought it. Not realising that when i got home i would find that it worked well with the scarf i had bought from Vivienne Westwood some months back.

So for this photo i put the two together, continuing with the pattern theme I used a harlequin print vest to add more print to the photo.
