every colour illuminates





top, denim jacket, earrings - primark, trousers - charity shop, creepers - pj shoes, necklace - delilah dust, hair bow - diy

I quite often shy away from looking at trousers in charity shops, even though I've been going through a phase of wanting to to wear them. Although you can buy a top any size and make it look good oversized, with trousers it's a different story. However, after seeing Lyzi from Being Little's recent post, I decided to give the old trouser rail another chance. On a charity shopping mooch last week, I found these trousers on a 50p rail. I didn't bother trying them on, but upon getting home found that they fit perfectly! I'm guessing they're probably not to everyone's taste - but I love them!

I made this hair bow last week after cutting the legs off some jeans. I'll be making more because as of today I'm opening up my shop:



If any of you like my DIYs, you will now be able to purchase them over at http://thekittenswhiskers.bigcartel.com. As it's launch day, I'm giving all of my readers 15% off - all you need to do is type in BLOG15 at the checkout. If you have any custom orders of anything similar to that in my shop - just email me at thekittenswhiskers@gmail.com. I'll be adding more over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out!

  13. I've always been apprehensive about buying trousers from charity shops due to fit too, but seeing these ones look great on you, I might just have to have a nosy on the trouser rail next time I'm in one :)
