Outfit of the day: old meets vintage

So firstly, hello and welcome to my new Blog site!! :) I have transferred over from Wordpress, and will now pick up from here.

I took an unexpected trip to the Manchester Science Museum last week. Basically, I planned to get some outdoor street-scene photographs, but Manchester being Manchester, it rained. A lot. Typical. So I decided to take shelter at the Science Museum: it was nearby, dry and free! Surprisingly, it was an appropriate scene for the photos; the juxtaposition of the industrial machinery against my vibrant jacket and spiky shorts contrasted well visually. 

Jacket: clothes swap event
Jumper: Topshop
Shorts: Topshop + customised
Shoes: Topshop
Ring: Pandora

It was love at first sight the moment I cast eyes on this vintage baseball jacket at a clothes swap event. It's hard not to notice it; the bright purple and yellow clash; it stands out, it grabs attention and that's why I fell for it. However, I must admit, I have found it hard to style as the colours are so contrasting. It is a 'stand-out' piece and I often wear it with more neutral tones so that attention is not detracted from it. Here, I wore it with my grey, sports-chic jumper, which I think paired perfectly, as the jacket is also sports-influenced. My little healed trainers matched the theme too. 

To add further detail I put on my denim, spiky customised shorts. I studded them a couple of summers ago and they're always perfect for giving an outfit that rock chick edge.

I'm excited to be reading and following new blogs now that I am signed up to Blogger. I hope you all enjoyed my first post on here, I'm happy to here what you think
