How to wear a maxi

Yesterday was a good day blogging.  I went slightly off-mission to buy a new hat, chatted to some lovely people, including Mr+Mrs Style Scout (and Baby Scout in his dog shoes, that's some serious cute), and took some great shots - at last, after a period where it seemed the stylish people of east London deliberately hid indoors when they saw me coming. 

Anyway, as regular readers will know I am a tad obsessed with creepers shoes.  Even more so since meeting this girl and seeing how ingeniously they update the maxi trend, for a laidback, grungey style.  I almost don't want to give away the secret that this pleated number is from Topshop, as it looks so fresh and unique paired with the old t-shirt and those perfect shoes.  She works in The Vintage Store on the corner of Cheshire Street, which is, incidentally, my new favourite shop.  Pop along if you're in need of a new pair of ankle boots, leather shorts or some vintage denim, and pick up some style hints from the staff while you're there...

  3. Well that's seriously weird! (not the photo: she looks fabulous - I love the creepers with the maxi, and I LOVE how you positioned her against the stripes of that wall thingy). It's just... well I did a post just a minute earlier, that I was going to post and instead just set it to go off tomorrow morning. So when you see it... it's uncanny, Jennifer, it's like I channelled your post.

    Hey!! I see that's Laura in the next (previous) post. And I've found some wonderful ones of you, too. I just don't know where to begin!!

    So glad you met Mr. & Mrs. Scout and Baby Scout. Aren't they the nicest family? And the baby's name is Arthur - my dad's name (Art for short).

    HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!! Whenever you're free, FFF babe!! xo
