Just in time for her birthday, Holly received another Everland delivery to style for us. These pictures are so sweet they'll give you a toothache, or sugar-cravings at least...
Happy Birthday Holly, your birthday cake is well-earned!
I’ve been asked (more so told) numerous times “are you really
going out like that?” or “you can’t wear that colour, it’s not flattering,” and
I find myself responding with - WHY? When I dyed my hair ginger I was bombarded
with comments from others saying that I would be limited in what I could wear.
The one comment that hurt the most was when I was told I couldn’t wear pink
anymore. No. Just no. Pink is basically the epitome of my existence and if pink
and ginger clash then you can take your styling rule and fuck off.
I should probably explain
that I’m currently studying which means I have very little funds and have to
prioritise my spending. When Everland Clothing released their winter collection
the conversation with myself basically went a little like this, “how many more
days can I drive around on an empty tank and live off of ramen noodles?” – I
ended up ignoring the grown up inside that was begging me to be responsible and
purchased the Big In Japan sweater
and the As If skirt, both pink.
With these outfits, you
can either go the obvious choice and pair these pieces together and chuck on
some Doc Martens for a day look or Hellbounds for the night. But I am not known
for doing anything the simple way. I would separate these items and make two completly
different outfits.
Firstly, I would pair the As If skirt with a fishnet, long sleeve
crop and if I’m feeling courageous I’d just wear a cute black bra showing through
underneath. Or if I’m not, I would chuck a black camisole on to make the look a
little more family friendly (I’m wearing a Jac Vanek crop). My go-to pair of shoes are my Demonia
Creepers and I would probably pair them with a plain pair of black socks as the
outfit is pretty busy! If it’s cold, throw on a second hand/vintage acid wash
oversized denim jacket. And if you find yourself constantly cold all the time
like me, a standard black beanie never goes astray.
I would say this outfit is
defiantly 90’s street and your best accessory is your ability to confidently
walk around and not give a damn. By the way, you can pretty much interchange
any of the As If skirts into this
outfit. Top the whole look off with a heavy and dark purple lip; I use the one
by Kate Moss X Rimmel. I’ve also thrown on my Dark Moon Cult leg garter to
toughen up my look!
My second outfit features
the Big in Japan sweater. I guess now
that I think about it, I do have a pretty standard rule when it comes to crops.
I will always pair a crop top or cropped sweater with something high waisted.
As it’s winter in Australia I will probably team my cropped sweater with a pair
of Nasty Gal high-waisted grey acid wash jeans. Along with a standard black
belt and leather (or pleather) Moto Jacket.
As most of the outfit is pretty
straightforward I would throw off this balance with my favourite holographic
Unif Cross-Trainers and a black snapback. If you find jeans uncomfortable, you
hate pants or your going for a night-time look swap them for a leather skirt. Or
in my case a patent leather dress paired with my hellbounds! This just means
that you might have to opt for a different jacket, as I don’t really enjoy
wearing double leather- but if you don’t care kudos to you, you go out and you
rock the hell out of that double leather. (Victoria and David Beckman’s will
probably high five you as they rocked matching Versace leather outfits in the 90’s)
I love your blog, Everland do the cuteeeeest clothes :)
