Ringer Tees, 80s Prints and Extra Arms

It was only after uploading these photos that I realised they make me look as if I have extra arms - sozza. Blame the best lighting in the house being in front of a mirror, and the fact that I'm still trying to get this cringey #ootd thing down.

Far brighter in person that it looks on camera, it caught my eye when setting up our East London Vintage Kilo Sale so I made sure to put it it aside before any other customers could bag it. I'm so glad I did - there's something quite Lazy Oaf about it, basic in cut but with a loud print, topped off by the mega on-trend ringer trim. I'm still considering cutting it down into t shirt or mini dress length, but there's something so appealingly low-maintenace about throwing on a long summer dress and being completely good to go.

Speaking of ringer tees, I simply can't get enough of the two-tone little beauties. While I can't yet bear to part with £16 for my Urban Outfitters top of dreams, New Look currently has a strong selection and it's surely only a matter of time before Primark cottons on (no pun intended) to the trend and starts selling them for like £2 a pop.
