Kat's back and she's talking
about some ways to have fun with fashion!
As a lover of alternative fashion I always
look forward to the time of year when skulls, studs and all things gothic make
a comeback in the mainstream fashion stores, and I’m not talking about
Halloween! This summer the British high street is awash with alternative
fashion trends with many taking inspiration from the current festival season to
create a range of clothing fit for any wannabe rock star. As a self-confessed
lover of impractical footwear I am in my element as stores battle to add the
biggest spikes and the most studs to their skyscraper platform heels.
For those with a more sensible head on
their shoulders, squeezing feet into shoes which would not look out of place in
a KISS tribute band may not seem like the ideal way to try out this current
trend. If you do want to unleash your inner rock star without having to stand
in the corner in fear of falling over, here are my top tips for practical
alternative fashion.
You
don’t have to go overboard.
Simply adding a skull scarf to an outfit
can take your overall look from preppy to rock chick. There are some fantastic
accessories out there at the moment that look great when layered together to
create a festival, rock chick lock.

Combine floral prints with leather jackets
and studded shoes to create a contrasting look that will not look out of place
in the muddy fields of Glastonbury or the celeb filled tents of Coachella.
Experiment with textures as well as prints to create a laid back festival look.

and Comfort
Why suffer for fashion purposes when you
can find comfortable shoes that are also very much on trend. I love combining a
pair of comfy Naturalizer shoes with a skull print dress and leather jacket to
create a look that not only looks good, but will allow me to dance all night to
my favorite band without worrying about sore feet in the morning!
