fast food fashion

I’m sorry I’ve been quiet for a few days, but it’s actually felt quite good to just let my blog sit for a while. I hope you didn’t miss me too much! 😉 Today I have the penultimate outfit in my mini fast food fashion series. Have you been enjoying it? I hope so! This is all about the drinks… well soft drinks, just to reassure you. I’m talking coke/coca-cola floats and all things yummy. Hmm yeah!

🍼 WHAT I WORE: Diet Coke T-Shirt (Truffle Shuffle) // Structured Grey Skirt (Glamorous)* // White Platform Heels (Vagabond @ Mastershoe)* // Sundae Socks (ASOS)* // Milkshake Clutch (New Look) 🍼 

This outfit is super, super simple, but I feel like when styled in the right way, it has a sort of minimalistic aesthetic to it. I received this t-shirt when I won an ASOS voucher over on Hayley’s blog (she’s an awesome beauty blogger if any of you are interested) in collaboration with Diet Coke and I knew it would be perfect for this segment. It’s very oversized but paired with my structured skirt, the bagginess of it is counteracted.

I never really wear simple outfits because I always end up “ruining” (well, not really) them with weird pieces like the accessories I choose. It works in my mind though, it’s a little bit of this and that, mixed and stirred with my usually random personality…!

Talking of the accessories, I went for that New Look milkshake clutch, and I love how it picks out the colours from the rest of the outfit. Again, it’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Much like how you would make a coke float actually… a little bit of Coca-Cola and a little bit of ice cream! Hmm, they always remind me so much of the unlimited amounts my family and I would devour on holidays to Greece. Always take advantage of unlimited things!

Finally, let’s talk shoes. You all probably know about my love for these chunky platform Vagabonds, but heck, why not talk about them again? They’re a dream okay. If you like the look of heels but not the idea, get these! So comfy, amazing quality and also… they’re on sale! I paired them with these cheeky socks which are just the cherry on top (see what I did there?!). What d’ya think? 🍼 

If you were here on my blog fairly recently, then you’ll know that I have started a mini series of fast food fashion inspired outfits! Last year I did a post on a few of my fast food fashion purchases, so I’m finally styling them up! This is part 2, so make sure you catch up with part 1, here!

🍟 WHAT I WORE: Fryday T-Shirt (Adolescent Clothing)* // Fries Necklace (Chelsea Doll – Now closed)* // Tulle Skirts (Oxfam) // Shorts (Jumble Sale) // Fries Socks (Kylie @ M&Co)* // Leopard Slap-On Watch (Slappie)* // Jelly Shoes (Supermarket) 🍟

So this outfit is all about the fries… or chips, whatever you want to call it! I’m actually pretty happy with it too! It’s a lot more fun and colourful, don’t you think? Anyway, I knew immediately I needed this Adolescent Clothing t-shirt… it’s such a same this post wasn’t up on a Friday… I mean, FRYDAY? Duhh! 🍟

In my opinion tulle skirts go perfectly with oversized tops. They’re that little bit of something special that make your outfit look like you actually made an effort to get dressed. Plus, if you wear shorts underneath like me, then if you get fed up of them, you can whip them off and totally change your outfit! Yay!

In terms of accessorising and pulling the fast food outfit together, I went for my awesome fries necklace. I think because I never usually wear red, I tend to leave this one hanging up, but now I’ve styled it like this, I kinda’ like it! Unfortunately I’m not sure you guys can actually purchase this anywhere online… but you can take a good look at it now… haha! Sorry… 🍟

Can we also talk swings? I knew I had to do these pictures at the park, and believe it or not (I literally had no idea until I edited these pictures) but the swings actually had matching red and yellow. How awesome is that? Matchy matchy.

And finally shoes… and a watch! I went for my nifty pair of supermarket jelly shoes because why not? They’re honestly the cheapest, most durable and comfortable pair of shoes I own. I honestly don’t care that people look at me funny for wearing beach shoes because they just don’t understand the comfort! They also look great with 🍟 chip 🍟 socks, so I’m not complaining!

For my watch, I’m wearing my new Slappie watch. It is in fact a slap-on watch. It’s super comfortable, it looks adorable and it even has an interchangeable watch face function so you can suit your watch to your mood. Pretty cool! I really like it, and the monochrome print is so me. What do you think?

🍔 SEE OUTFIT 1 OF FAST FOOD FASHION HERE 🍟

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? 😛

🍔 READ FAST FOOD FASHION: WHAT’S ON THE MENU? HERE! 🍔

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 🙂
