chadchad of the day 7.0

I wanted to gild the lily for this outfit of the day and go all out extreme on floral.  If only I had some floral trousers or jacket to make it really obnoxious.  I picked this shirt up at a thrift shop the other day and added gold chain around the collar.  If you love it, buy it HERE on our Burger & Fries boutique on ASOS Marketplace so I can pay the dang rent.  London, I love you but you're bringing me down!

Here are some other bold tropical & floral looks from SS12.  Above is Custo Barcelona and below is Kenzo.  Mixing prints is fun and clashy-good times but I also love the head-to-toe print look.

I've been obsessed with silk patterned shirts lately so when I was back in Edmonton, Canada over the Christmas holidays I did a little vintage hunting and came upon this beauty in a Value Village thrift store. I mean, just look at those colors!  It's such a classic.  I also found this little bolo tie that has a gold saddle in the center of a silver and white circle.  I've been looking for the perfect bolo tie for awhile as well and this might be just the one.

I wore these eggplant leather loafers from Zara to bring out the purple in the shirt. I layered the look with a vintage school uniform blazer over the top which I had reformed a while ago by changing the buttons and replacing the long sleeves with little cap sleeves instead.

Here are a few other vintage shirts that we have for sale on our Burger & Fries boutique on ASOS Marketplace. I've reformed a few of them by adding a gold chain to the collar. Just click on the images to link to our boutique:)

This is the outfit I wore to the launch of SORAPOL's collection on Thursday night at St. George's Church near Hanover Square.  I found this shirt at a charity shop around the corner from my apartment last week and knew I had to reform it somehow.  It's actually a woman's silk blouse with a nice flap that covers the buttons on the front of the shirt.  I ended up hand-stitching gold chain around the collar of the shirt and letting it hang in the front so it's like a built in necklace.  I definitely want to make more like this if only I could find cheaper places in London to buy vintage!  If anyone has any tips, please let me know!  Also if you like this shirt it's for sale on our Burger & Fries boutique on ASOS Marketplace HERE.
