Last weekend I joined Furr who was tour managing for the brilliant Jess Hall Band on their tour with Newton Faulkner. This is what it has come to if I want to see my boyfriend.
Acoustic/folk is not really my bag but everyone was lovely and I actually really enjoyed Newton's set; he has such an easy, relaxed sense of humour and is clearly brilliant at what he does.
As the two people who read this blog will know, I do like a bit of Carrie Bradshaw dressing, that is to say themeing my outfit with the occasion. It's not like I dress disingenuously, I just hand pick from my own clothes something that feels right.
I thought this would be a good occasion to crack out the kimono top I got in the Peacocks closing down sale for £7. It was a risky online purchase but I think it has worked out well. I like the fact that it is not black, and the antique roses on it make it look a bit rock n roll. It is really comfy and easy to wear, but the sleeves add a bit of drama. I wore it with jeans, my dad's oversized cardie, tie dye scarf, tan brouge ankle boots and tan leather satchel. The leather satchel was from my old Sue Ryder shop, so I've had it for years and its a complete staple. The lipstick is Benefit's 'No Competition', a berry shade. The second day of the tour I was back in black with ripped jeans, but I enjoyed my folk-y moment while it lasted. I know this post makes me look like a total dick. Suck it.
