In a recent post of mine I shared photos from the 80's fashion exhibiton at the V&A, so I thought I'd follow up with a few photos of what I wore. ASOS Ridleys are a wardrobe essential in my opinion - I'm actually wearing them as I type. The military shirt is a recent sale purchase from H&M at £10. The material is lyocell so it's extra strong and hardwearing, suiting the military theme aptly! I adore the beading detail too - it's different and adds a necessary edge to an otherwise plain blouse. The only fault I can mention is that the buttons around the bust area pop open so easily (and quite frankly, I don't know why) and it makes me feel for busty women who must have to deal with this problem all of the time - that would annoy me beyond belief!

Today in itself was a decent day - I hopped into town with Mum to purchase a few beauty bits (obligatory instagram snap here) after we tried to go out as a family to find that both of the two bowling alleys close to us were completely booked out. I guess I'll have to save my sporting prowess for another time...
