Peter Pan Complex.



We have all had a period in our lives where we literally have tried to stop growing up. Lets face it the adult world is scary, it might aswell be a gaping black hole to another universe.

But the latest trends are taking a stance on growing up. I'm talking about a childhood revival.

Dungarees are an essential peice of clothing every 90s child needs. Its a great statement peice for summer as you can literally wear them with everything: the childs version of an LBD.
If your feeling nostalgic they come in cute patterns featuring childhood favorites:
Mickey Mouse
Winnie the Pooh
Bugs Bunny

Check out indie pop princess Marina and the Diamonds rocking the trend:



With a trend like this, the number one rule is too make an impact, for example accessories:
bright big bows
chunky bracelets and necklaces
& colourful headbands to make you look like a big kid.

And of course a great vintage or 1990s revival back pack is a must to complete the look. But if your not all that into backpacks i would recommend a bright coloured satchel, string bag or messenger bag.

For footwear, as grunge lover myself, i would wear worker boots, or Docs, however you can easily pull this look off with trainers. Nike blazers, vintage jordens or all leather converses.



The great thing about this trend is that the pieces are easily accessible you can find cheap one off pieces in vintage stores and charity shops or online in Asos Marketplace or eBay.

Happy Shopping

Dresses.

I love the different varieties of dresses right now, one shoulder, bodycons, Fit&Flare, maxes, pleats anad structured.

In June my school is doing an NRA (National Record of Acheivement) and with GCSEs around the corner i had no time to look for a dress but amongst all my avid revising i have come across a very beautiful yet simple dress:
Miss Selfridge £45

 Its elegant, and tastefull, the lace and vintage cream colour give it a timeless touch. The silk would look great on my skin colour. I might go a bit Gok Wan and accessorize with a tan coloured belt, just to add colour, the dress isnt to OTT but not too demoure.
 
     Or i could go with this:
Asos £45



This dress is cute and adolescent, i love the detailing of the ruched sleaves and sides, this dress wont need a lot of accessories due to its lovely embellishment in the middle, i like how it has that party dress touch.

So should i go for Vintage elegance, or Modern teen?
-Comments please.
