Can Can fancy dress

our sixth form for sports relief decided to have a dress up day with the theme:
"When I grow up" and I thought because me and my sixth form heads don't see eye to eye with creativity I decided to go as a can can dancer/early 19th century prostitute. 
I made my can can skirt and frilly shorts from scrap material and bought white stocking with red bows. I also made a choker out of a piece of ribbon I bought from a fabric shop. I made my head piece out of a piece of card board and scrap material and wrote "ooh la la" on it in black paint. 

Amy Winehouse Make-up

I created a make up look based around Amy Winehouse. I created this look using a gel black eye liner with a medium brush. I also wore a pale lip gloss and a beauty stop on my top lip! sorry about my funny face, my friend caught me off guard!

London to Brighton - April 2011

This was a family trip to London and from London to Brighton. my favourite thing I wear in these photos is my green hat, I bought it a flee market for £15; its French and I added a red and white ribbon to the rim and glued fake flowers to the back.  I wear a mix and match of things in these photos most of it is from modern high street shops but still looks very pretty and Girly.
