So last week I did a style dissection of 'This Is England', mainly Lol's outfits, and this weekend I tried wearing something similar. So, boots, a wool overcoat, a short sleeved shirt, and braces. Yeah, braces. I felt a bit like those people who wear fake glasses when they have 20/20 vision, as there was no way my trousers were going to fall down, but still, I kinda LOVED IT. Although whenever I bent over they popped off, so I'm going to have to stop bending over 12 times an hour.
I am loathe to say that these clothes empowered me - I'm not 100% sure that any fabric could do that - but I definitely felt pretty Lol-esque in them. You know, strong and independent. I didn't take crap from no one, but underneath it all kind of vulnerable and sweet.
The shirt, the braces and the coat are all ASOS, and the trousers are from Missguided - I'm wearing them so much at the moment. I find it so hard to find a good cut, but these are IT. I want to buy them in every colour.
By the way, if there are any other TV shows or films with style ripe for dissection, let me know in the comments. Maybe not 'Breaking Bad'...although...maybe.
