Do you ever get dressed in the morning & feel really pleased with your outfit, only to step out of the front door & have others take the piss? That happened to me with this one, the kids at the bus stop loudly whispered, laughing to each other ‘who’s funeral is it?!’ & ‘maybe she’s a witch!’ and then when Ollie saw it, he told me I looked like some kind of Amish goth! I guess it must be the combination of the shirt & the hat? Whatever, I loved this outfit, so I’m just going to take them all as compliments! Besides, I’ve definitely had worse!
I’d been looking for a nice denim shirt for a while, so when Chiara asked if they could send something, this was an obvious choice. It’s the perfect faded, blackened blue colour, in a thin cotton chambray and with those little pearl buttons that remind me of vintage work shirts. I’ve been wearing it a lot super causally, with jeans, Converse & my biker jacket, but I love it even more worn like this, it’s a nice alternative to my smarter black shirts.

yes it happened to me, but to be honest, not as bad as kids taking the piss on public transport!! (or maybe I didn’t hear or notice because I am almost all of the time with my music on).
Anyway, I do like it, especially the hat!!

Haha! Yeah, that’s the exact reason I usually take my iPod everywhere, to drown them out! ;)
RoselyC says
I like the wash of your denim shirt and I think you look great. People should really learn to keep some opinions to themselves.
Hannah says
Some people just don’t have any idea about being polite or about personal style/taste! I hope you gave them a death stare Steph! I love this look with the button up black denim shirt, I like that the shirt isn’t completely black but more of a washed colour. I still can’t get enough of your hat either! xxx
FAIIINT says
Oh yes, I definitely did! Ha! ;) I agree, I thought it’d be more of a solid colour, but I love the fact it looks so worn & vintage, it makes it feel like a shirt that has some stories, even though it’s brand new :)
Lisanne says
Well I think you look sensational! I love how there is so much going on in muted colours!
Lauren says
I love this outfit, ignore the kids they are stupid!

What an awesome outfit! The shirt is lovely. Do you own any leather ones? Is that a stupid question? Haha!! The hat looks uh-mazing on you too. I’ve had this happen to me loads of times, I think it’s the hat! Whenever I wear a fedora I attract the weirdest people but you look babealicious. Fact.
FAIIINT says
You know, I don’t! I almost brought one from AllSaints once, but then decided not to. You’ve reminded me how much I want one though now! ;) It’s definitely the hat, I wore it yesterday with a pretty ‘normal’ outfit & still got stares! Have people never seen a girl in a hat before?!
jamie-lee says
I’ve had the funny stares occasionally, which make me feel uncomfortable the rest of the day. But you know, I love this outfit on you! Looks so good :)
ODYSSEY says
That hat is happening! Love it. “Who’s funeral is it?” My response would be: “Yours. Mwahahaha!”
FAIIINT says
Haha! I’m saving that one for next time! ;) I just gave them a death glare, I always think of witty comebacks after it’s too late to actually use them…
izzy says
haha yeah there are some fashion choices that I’ve made that I already anticipated people wouldn’t like, but I don’t really care :) in the end Steph you look amazing and can pull off ANYTHING you wear! I’d definitely be happy to step out the door looking like you do!
FAIIINT says
Exactly, I’ve stopped caring too! It has nothing to do with other people, so if I like it, I’ll wear it. Thankyou Izzy, though I would say the same about you too! :)
the animal orchestra says
I love everything about this; all the different textures and shades of black you’ve got going on. Masterful!
Paola says

If it makes you feel better Stephanie this happens to me all the time. It recently happened over the weekend I was dressed all in white and ppl just stared and some approached me to let me know the rules of no white after labour day…
I think ppl should just let other people be, dressed, or do what they please as long is not affecting anyone else and in our defence we look great ;)

FAIIINT says
Exactly, it’s only clothes, it has no affect on anyone else, so what does it matter? I don’t understand why others feel the need to go out of their way & tell you, like you’re supposed to care that they don’t like what you’re wearing?! You always look great Melissa, and being British & not having Labour day here, it seems like a silly rule to me anyway ;)
steph says
haha i doubt any actual amish would dress so super-stylish tho i can see where ollie is coming from :) here in sydney we get so many different types of dressers that no one really pays any attention anymore – i walked past a huge group of kids in onesies this morning on my way to work! i love that shirt so much steph, beautiful colour and those gloves are gorgeous too, it didn’t even get cold enough to wear any here this winter.
ollyvia laura says
super love the outfit
SOMETHING REAL SERIOUS
Jenny says

Perfect jacket! Been looking for something like this everywhere! However Asos doesnt display it in the link you credited and I cant find it anywhere else either? Is it an out of season peice?
FAIIINT says
I did buy it a little while ago now, though the brand seems to be stocked permanently in ASOS’s outlet section & I do keep seeing this & a very similar style come back in stock every so often! Sorry I can’t be of more help, but the only thing I can suggest is to keep checking the brands page on ASOS (which I linked to) or possibly try ebay? I’m afraid I’ve never seen it stocked anywhere else either :(
Spandan says
Ma’am. Beautifully gothic!
However, I am not so literate about women’s fashion, so please answer this question:
Judging by your jacket and gloves, it must have been cold. Why did you elect to go out in nylons and not something heavier – like a pair of jeans or leather trousers?
FAIIINT says
Thankyou!
I just find tights more comfortable than jeans and trousers, and I like wearing dresses and skirts, so I think it would be a shame not to wear them just because it’s cold. These tights are thermal ones though, so they are actually pretty warm, almost as warm as jeans! :)
