Vest – H&M, £3.99. Jacket – vintage from Fat Faced Cat vintage, £10 (sale). Hot pants – ASOS, £8 (via unwanted gift). Minnie Mouse ears – Mind in Camden (charity shop), 50p.
.I feel like this outfit is textbook Laila. I’m really not into planning outfits and my general “going-out” look (or “going-on-stage” look) is basically put on whatever clothes are nearest, throw on something sparkly, add some novelty headwear and then hope for the best! In these pictures (taken after a show at VAULT) as well as some charity shop ears and my newest sequinned item I’m wearing my trusty studded white boots, and my vest and dance shorts from rehearsals earlier in the day. Add to that my leftover show make-up from that evenings performance (classy) and my black and red camera bag and that’s my whole thrown together after-party vibe!
.These photos are from the week of performances I did at VAULT and I promise this will be my last post on the festival! Essentially every night after our show the whole cast and crew would hang out at the venue (big underground labyrinth of tunnels and rooms) and party, so being easy to spot was a good thing amongst all the other people! I’m aware some people save sequins or vintage for special occasions but I’m not like that at all. I don’t want them to just hang on the wall for fear of damaging them; I want them to get a bit frayed from messy piggyback races and end up smelling of smoke and spilt drinks from too much jumping around on a crowded dance floor. Clothes are for living in and not just looking at after all. :) What does your textbook outfit look like?

hey girl! been a while since I’ve been over here!! when I first saw this outfit I thought- omg, costumes for what?! but I love it even more that it’s not really a costume for anything? but a fun, normal outfit for you? awesome. these pictures look just so fun. and I love what you said about clothes so much that I just tweeted it :D
I used to know what my textbook outfit was…but maybe it’s changing? lately I’ve felt that occasionally I’m trying to hard, and should just embrace simpler looks with things I love (so, basically following your getting dressed routine!) but I still love (what I think my old “uniform” was) graphic t-shirt. pretty shirt. flats. still a go-to in my book!

Well this is like a standard going-out outfit or a gig outfit but seeing as those are events that happen pretty much every week it basically is just a normal outfit yeah. Haha! That’s interesting about your go-to outfit changing… or maybe just broadening? My style doesn’t seem to have changed much from the age of about 16, I’m just gaining new clothes! x
