Outfit of the Day: School Uniform (part 2)

So, today, being a lazy student, I decided to keep the same black chinos and brown brogues from last time but jazz my top half up a bit. I sacrificed the warmth of a cozy v-neck jumper so that I could show of the lovely bold red gingham shirt I picked up for £10 at a local shop. I'm not entirely sure what it's made of, but whatever it is, it's really comfy! I threw, or rather fastened, on a denim bow tie of my own creation. The tie is really simple to make and, if like me you (embarrassingly) can't actually tie a bow tie, it's much quicker and easier to put on! next time I make one I'll put up some instructions, but basically its just a 6 by 4 inch denim cut out (I cut my denim out from jeans I had tie-bleached, as I think the blotchy white patches look really nice) folded in half, sewn around the folded edge; then pinched and tied around the middle; sewn onto an elastic strip with a button at one end. On top, I wore a funky tweed jacket (£15 from Rockit in Camden) with red highlights which go nicely with the red of the shirt. Et voila! I hope you like it! (please feedback if you think the bow tie works or not!) xx
