A Pirate’s Life For Me…
A long time fan of Pirates I find my seaworthy obsession subtly inspires my wardrobe, so I thought, selfishly, I would create some outfits which embody this idea and prove how well it works. I mean, if it’s good enough for Vivienne Westwood, it’s certainly good enough for me and you. By channeling one’s inner Pirate the results can be beautiful and original. Don’t be afraid of mixing patterns, it doesn’t have to match to make sense and include pops of colour. This versatile style makes it extremely easy to incorporate some of the key SS’13 trends, including stripes, layering and tailoring. I’m sure these outfits will inspire you to shop for your own treasures…
