This is my outfit for Death Cab for Cutie! I was pretty much on my own for the entire gig, but they were rather amazing live. Plus they played 2 of my favourite songs! I shalln’t bore you with an inept review because music is not my strong point; but I can talk to you about my outfit…

• Denim shirt: charity shop
• Polka dot skirt: hand-me-down
• Navy chain bag: charity shop
• Red socks: topshop
• Silver pumps: charity shop
• Pearl earrings (hidden): gift

Almost an entirely ‘thrifted’ outfit as you can see! I hate dressing for gigs because I don’t really own many ‘going out’ clothes as honestly, I rarely go out. However, I found this skirt which I had been meaning to alter as it’s just a little too long (I’m only 5 foot 4, so too long and I feel a bit drowned). As I had about 15 minutes before I had to leave, I got some pinking shears and cut up the seam (and the opposite side) a little way and then tied both sides into a double knot. Voila, I’d shortened it, added a little interest with some ties and made it more like a bubble skirt! I was rather proud of my quick diy skills.
