OOTD: WITCH

Blouse: Kmart | Skirt: OASAP | Belt: Boohoo.com | Socks: Asos | Shoes: Second-hand

Everyone I saw today told me I looked like a school-girl! I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or they were trying to insult me but I’d like to think they were thinking the kind of school-girl from The Craft or AHS: Coven. The Craft is such a big inspiration for me that I could probably name-drop the film in every outfit post. I guess I just have a thing for witches!

I’ve been lusting after Asos’s bow ties so much! They actually have a whole range of different bow-ties. My favourites are this smaller chiffon one that I’ve seen on a couple of other bloggers and this awesome huge one (that I’m already tempted to wear on my head). Until I can get my hand on all one of them I’ll just have to pick up some more ribbon. On an AHS: Coven tangent, these bows do remind me of Zoey’s most famous outfit from the show. (I promise you, I didn’t intentionally steal her outfit!)

The skirt I’m wearing is the sister to red one in my winter coats outfit of the day. I rarely buy black velvet. But since I’ve been wearing more colour lately, it’s nice to have an interestingly textured black basic that I can easily pull on in the morning. Plus, I’m starting to realise how magical black velvet is; it always adds a little bit of bad-ass witch vibe to anything – even a white blouse.

I’ve ranted enough about my favourite witches, who are yours?

How I Style Lip Service’s "School Girl" Bralette in my Dreams

This “In my Dreams” post couldn’t be more of a dream-worthy cause because I have always had terrible luck with bustiers. This may be too much information but breasts were not designed to fit into too tennis-ball shaped circles! They do in fact reach all the way back towards the armpit and up too (or past?) the collar bone.

But I digress.

The real interesting introduction is that I found this Lip Service bustier in the Nasty Gal Labor Day sale. While I don’t quite know what Labor Day is and if it applies to us Australian’s I will take full advantage of the fact that I bought it for twelve dollars. Twelve dollars.

So, while this beautiful little tartan beauty has a rather big chance of not fitting I can at least revel in the fact that I am a super awesome discount shopper, and my excitement for future outfits will be immortalised in this post. Am I getting too dramatic?

Skirt | Necklace | Boots | Coat

This outfit makes me think “eighties” because of the oversize blazer/coat with shoulders but a bit bohemian because of the necklace (I really want a big coin necklace!) and the midi skirt. The leather keeps the punky attitude of the tartan bustier but is at the same time pretty modest. Oh, and of course boots are a must!

Leather Shorts (either side) | Kimono | Boot | Socks

 When I started with this outfit I was playing up the “school girl” title. But the tailored shorts turned into leather shorts, and I had to throw a kimono as anice little cover up for sunny days. Finally, some nineties boots purely because I’ve been craving nineties boots lately.

Maxi-skirt | Moon Necklace | Rings | Fringe Bag | Bralette

Romantic, or witchy? I’m sure Stevie Nick’s would be proud. Soften up the hard plaid with this freakin’ amazing chiffon skirt. I was so close to buying it but I just couldn’t allow myself to press the confirm button! You will be mine.

What would you wear with a bustier? Or have you disowned them because of their incredulous ability to, uh, not fit? You and I may soon have that in common.
