I'M ON THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS



Sunglasses - Camden
Denim vest - DIY
Back patch - While She Sleeps Merch
Tie dye dress - Miracle Eye
LOVE belt - Urban Outfitters
Bag - Charity shop
Snake arm cuff - vintage


Pretty long overdue, but this is the outfit that I wore to Lily's blogger picnic (post here) a couple of sundays ago.  I don't really wear this dress very much as it's a little long for me so is unflattering sometimes, and my mum's supposed to be shortening it a bit but she's taking ages to get round to it, so I just tucked up the dress into my belt!  I may not be as much a whizz on the sewing machine as my mum but I finally managed to sew my While She Sleeps back patch onto a denim vest I made a little while ago and I'm so happy with how it turned out and it's definitely made me a lot more confident with sewing machines, but not as much to trust myself to hem anything!
ps - how creepy are my legs in the second photo, one seems to have disappeared, freaky!

Yo. Just came across your blog via lookbook as I am while she sleeps fan too, what do you think to the new album? Personally I love it. I'm definitely going to get myself one of those patches too ^_^ haha!

Also, I can't believe you're only 17.. you look my age. I'm 20 by the way and I definitely don't look it which is annoying. But anyway, definitely a new follower. I'll be back ^_^

Yours, eg.
