SEEING STARS

When I first saw the highstreet's interpretation of Dolce and Gabana's star-printed fall 2011 collection...



which looks like this on an assortment of celebs



..I was NOT particularly impressed. Sure, I thought to myself, at least it's been picked up in the first place, unlike the unforgivable Christopher Kane galaxy-print fiasco. But something about stars inherently says TACKY to me. Call me crazy, call me a print snob, but that's just how it was.

Until I saw THIS fierce wee number in Look Magazine!

I don't know, I DO NOT even know why, but I knew I puuuure loved it. Still, ashameful rip off of this dress by D&G, but isn't that why folk love Primark?

Fierce!!  Anyway, reader, this morning I bought it...



Blusher much, Kirsty? Jeeze.



I know, RIGHT? So not me, but the heart wants what it wants.

Go figure.

PUSH YOURSELF



Should maybe have got rid of the bra...



SO I've been trying to get on board with new things, sartorially speaking, and figured I've put it off long enough... Yes, that's right. It's my first ever outfit post.

You have NO idea how uncomfortable I am taking pictures of myself - but I guess that's exactly the point, right? I feel like I've been stuck in a style rut of black, grey and leather for so long now that it's become my uniform. This spring I'm going to embrace new things like colour, prints....and outfit posts.

So here we go.
