burger socks

If you remember last year, I did a blog post all about budget fast food fashion. If you’re not sure what that is exactly then take a look at Moschino AW14′. It’s the collection that started it all off, and ever since so many brands have been taking inspiration. Now, I don’t want to promote unhealthy eating here, but I’ve decided to take that post a step further and make it into a mini series of outfits inspired by each part of the meal; the main, side, drink and dessert. So, as you can probably tell from the title of this post, today is all about the main course… aka. BURGERS! 🍔

🍔 WHAT I WORE: Stripey Top (Johnnie B @ Boden)* // Dungarees (Jumble Sale) // Burger Socks (Kylie @ M&Co)* // Burger Necklace (ASOS)* // Fast Food Badges (Claire’s) // White Dioon Vagabonds (Mastershoe)* 🍔

When I think red, yellow and green, I also think, blue and white, so I knew immediately that I had to pair all of these different colours together in this exact way. Instead of wearing Moschino rip-offs from eBay, I decided to think about the kind of Parisian girl who hangs out at chic diners and eats burgers with pastel pink milkshake in hand… well almost. I’m not sure McDonalds 🍔 really counts as ‘chic’ but you get the gist.

This Johnnie B top is one of those ‘throw it on and it will look perfect’ tops! Plus, if you’re not wearing dungarees to cover it up, the hem has a beautiful bit of lace detailing to add to the cuteness of it. If you don’t own a stripey top, please go out and get one. They should be a staple of everyone’s wardrobe (…okay if you don’t like stripes, I’ll let you off but they honestly look amazing on anyone)!

This might be weird to say but I actually feel like the simplicity sums up the whole 🍔 “fast food fashion” 🍔 idea; it’s a very simple concept and works will in terms of style and marketing. It shows how all parts of life can influence art and fashion itself. It’s simple, “quirky” and all kinds of awesome. What are your thoughts on the idea? 

Also, let’s talks denim. I’m obsessed with it right now. I never used to be so in love with it but again it’s just simple. It has that look of something different; colour but with a touch of texture. But even then it can be turned into texture with a bit of ripping and fraying. It’s a magical fabric and I want to embrace it some more!

The main part of this outfit being fast food inspired is the accessories. These socks were in the original blog post and they worked really well here. I was worried that this necklace from ASOS 🍔 would clash with the colours, but it worked with a bit of help from some fast food badges (I mean, who can resist a 5 items for £3 deal at Claire’s? They came to sixty pence!). Oh and of course that Happy Meal… which unfortunately is now in my stomach. I mean, the gherkin’s healthy right? 😛

After a few recent purchases, I have realised that I have a thing for fast food fashion… whether it’s socks, necklaces, badges, the whole lot, it is definitely a trend I’m loving. I decided to put together a little blog post so you can see what is currently ‘on the menu’. I even purchased some props to make this post even more snazzy! I really hope you enjoy 🙂

MAIN COURSE – BURGER SOCKS £1.00 (KYLIE – M&CO.)* – FAST FOOD SOCKS £3.00 (ASOS)

The first plate is of course, some burgers… in the form of two pairs of socks, at super cheap prices… cheap as chips (ha.. ha..)! The first pair are from M&Co, and look super juicy and kitsch. I think they would look awesome with nautical stripes and some cute flats. For those of you who want a more subtle fast food option, these socks from the ASOS Menswear range might be for you! A more robust pair of socks with a retro style cartoon print… I’ve styled this with denim dungarees and they look awesome. I love the yellow and red… *sassy click of fingers* primary perfection. 

ON THE SIDE – CHIP SOCKS £1.00 (KYLIE – M&CO.)* – CHIP NECKLACE £12.00 (CHELSEA DOLL)*

You can’t have a burger without a classic side of fries/chips and a good dose of ketchup, so these two pieces are perfect. I think if you were to wear one of the chip socks with one of the burger socks, you would look awesome. This necklace is definitely a favourite of mine as it’s really bold and bright, yet simple all in one. Chelsea Doll have a whole range of #JunkFood accessories, so if you like the look of this one, you’ll love the rest!

*CHEERS* DRINKS – JUNK NECKLACE £18.00 (PUNKY PINS)*

Ahh yes, a use for my Jean Paul Gaultier Coca-Cola can! Obviously a meal wouldn’t be complete without drinks, and for me it’s always got to be a good ol’ Coca-Cola… like I mentioned in my interview for the Mooi En Lief lifestyle magazine *wink wink* This necklace is crazy though, it has burgers, cereal boxes, toothpaste tubes, you name it, it’s on it! I love it nonetheless, and if you want to see how I would style it, click here.

DESSERT – CANDY GLITTER DREAMS NECKLACE £15.00 (I LOVE CRAFTY)

There’s always room for dessert, isn’t there? Well, today I have a beauty… a glittery donut shaped beauty! I decided to treat myself to a piece from the new I Love Crafty Donut Shop collection, and I’m so glad I did! It’s stunning. From the gorgeous sparkles, to the gold little gem, every detail makes it special. Laura sprinkles them with goodness and love, as it arrived in a gorgeous packaging which I shall keep it nice and new in. I honestly cannot wait to style this! Yum!

And there we have it folks! Lots of foody goodness! Let me know in the comments which is your favourite piece? I think mine is either the donut or the chips necklace… they’re both so cool! Next on my list is a Coca-Cola themed piece from Ashish… a girl can dream… a girl can dream…! Have you seen any food related items that I might like? Leave a comment below 🙂
