Blending the Times

I do not know whether anyone has experienced this, but after my exams ended in June, I was diagnosed with a serious case of STYLE BLOCK. Yes. A month of non-stop exams had sucked me dry of all the creative blood I had once had pulsing through my veins. I looked at jeans, and I saw... jeans. I looked at a belt, and I saw... a belt. I was well and truly broken. BUT NO MORE! Turns out all I needed was a little retail therapy in the form of browsing Oxford Street for a day! I am cured. Finally.
So, my creative bones are healed and I can now introduce to you my style inspiration for the next year or so: a 90s baseline with 70s chords, and a 60s melody. You're probably confused. I will be trying to combine 3 iconic time periods in my dress sense. It will be a challenge, but I'm looking forward to experimenting with bell sleeves and flared jeans; tunics and Mary Janes; and Mom jeans and flannels!

It looks as though my flagship stores will be Zara, Bershka and Mango for these particular styles. Somehow, from what I saw today, they have managed to find the perfect equilibrium between the runway and the high street, the balance that I have been desperately striving for in my personal fashion sense.

Anyway, a picture paints a thousand words, so feast your eyes on some of my inspiration!
