After yesterday's post on my little diy I decided to wear them that day. First off, please ignore my daft face, it was really sunny! I thought was, best to keep it simple. So it's exacully what I did, only went for a cheeky trip to the shops but this is what I wore them with. I'm pretty chuffed with the result, I like the fact that the H&M chinos are pretty loose fitting. It's pretty known that Izzy from The Dandy Project is the king of the diy, so I'm dedicating me efforts to him!
As well as Equip being so nice in letting me run the Ray Ban's competition(still time to enter!) they also sent me a gift for myself, the tan leather Fossil tote bag. Very kind of them, I have to say. I'm always on the hunt for new staples for my wardrobe, this is the newest edition. It has an array of pockets and compartment, which is what I need and not too clumpy looking.
You did a great job with the pants, they are amazing, xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the trousers! They look so good :D
ReplyDeleteAnd the bag is amazing, still loving satchels, think I always will.
I just love this outfit! It's nothing but perfect.
ReplyDeletethey look brilliant! great job.

Love that bag! Good job on the pants too! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing trousers! (and awesome bag to go with it) I love the extra colour, and urgh, hate sun in my eyes :(
ReplyDeletecool look. I live in the states, actually mid-west. And usually we are the last to do much of anything when it comes to style. I suppose global blogging helps, but still, doubt I see a guy with his chinos rolled up anytime soon which is kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
sexyyyy, I want to do this but I think it suits men better :)

WE SPY WITH MY LITTLE i
Aaah I hadn't seen this no! Not entirely sure why... must've clicked on just before you'd posted. Either way the simplicity is cool, lovely bag too, how generous of them. Was wondering if you'd link me on your sidebar squire?

M.E.
i think its like erm..window dressing and the stands and displays in the shop at the oxford street flagship store scarey...are people in topshop nice to work for? how woz your interview for them?
ReplyDeletei know i know recently i just havent had the time to blog sad :(
are your paintings on your blog i've seen the stripey, masking tape ones lovely s
... and they look like they were made for you!
ReplyDeleteOh so many things . . . where to start? Of course I think the pants are awesome! Any kind of customization that give you power over your own clothes is, and will always be, supported by me. And I especially like this one. My dad used to do the same thing with his jeans when he was young. Quite rebelious of him then, very stylish of you now. Second, the competion's very cool, a pair a raybans always comes in handy. And that bag they gave you is great!
ReplyDeleteThird, talking a bit about, well . . . me . . . I finally moved ! http://fashezine.com/ !
And lastly, is that a new painting I see on the bottom of the page? . . . just checking it out now!
p.s. really really happy to be back :)
wow! very cool pants!!! So original :)))))
ReplyDeletePerfect outfit. & I love the diy chinos. & you've gotta love free stuff! especially when it's as nice as that bag
ReplyDeleteNice job on the chinos! And I like your desert boots, I've just got girls' heeled versions but I'm thinking I want the classic flat ones too
ReplyDeletethe DIY pants look so awesome! I wish i could do this creatively without making a mess! great blog xx
ReplyDeleteahh, thank-you for your comment mat! my cheapness can work for boys shopping too! :) i'm always spotting lovely leather belts, shirts and bow ties for like 50pence! how often do you shop in charity shops? just go for it, who knows what you might find?
ReplyDeletelove, jazzabelle. xxx
just keep on popping back in your locals, get on talking terms with the the shop assistants. in one charity shop the lady always picks things up that she thinks will suit me, in another one the lady throws me in a couple of freebies, and in the other which i always donate too i get discounts. ohh, i wouldn't know what to look out for, mat! i'll probably end up picking stuff you really won't like. i'm honestly quite useless at picking clothes for guys. but if i do, i shall let you know. do you have any car boot sales near you?
ReplyDeletelove, jazzabelle. xxx
p.s. your comment on jill's latest post make me chuckle, hehe :)
trousers look hawt!
ReplyDeleteI really love your look, and from the 36 other comments, i believe I'm not alone. Keep posting more!
ReplyDeleteQuirky!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for some nice comments you've left recently.
You like grey days...you say....well,we have plenty of them in UK,don't we?
Will visit you soon.
With love,

No problem! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! And thanks. I wasn't sure I could pull of the pleather, but after I saw it in the store my brain immediately went, "MINEMINEMINE" and I just HAD to buy it, regardless. So I'm glad it turned out well.
The nails are fabulous indeed. I'm very jealous.
Do you do lots of DIY?

Bet it was fun letting loose with those paints, loving the DIY!
ReplyDeletelove love love this look! Reminds me of a Sartorialist pic I have stashed in my inspiration folder with a guy with painted pants. Awesome outfit, love it all!
ReplyDeleteI suppose I meant painted trousers not pants, in british english...haha
ReplyDeleteI love the pants, looks awesome on u! looks like u just went out of the art school.
ReplyDeleteSee these look very col and Pollock-y, but I KNOW if I tried it myself I'd look like I fell on my little bother's pint-by numbers set.
ReplyDeleteI did this to a pair of my Dad's old shorts before, except much too thickly. I laid out in the sun and then it all began to melt and run.
