Outfit Inspiration: Wild Things!

This week’s outfit inspiration is on the theme of “Wild Things“. I was putting away some clothes today and came across one of my favourite t-shirts which features an illustration from Maurice Sendak’s book Where the Wild Things Are; and felt the urge to create an outfit inspired by the wild things featured in his wonderful story. The movie of the book came out a little while ago too which I saw at the cinema. Fantastic film but it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea (in fact, my parents saw it with me and hated it! Well, they just didn’t get it). So anyway, below is my outfit inspired by Wild Things. The only thing missing is my pair of black mittens which would look great. I tried to find a substitute pair but couldn’t find any that looked right and didn’t have a picture of mine so had to leave them off but trust me, they are perfect for this.

Outfit Inspiration: Hamburglar

At least once a week I will try and post an outfit idea, based on a particular theme or character etc. This may seem like a pretty weird choice for the first one but this outfit is inspired by the McDonald’s Hamburglar! Younger readers may not know of the infamous Hamburglar but back in the 80’s/early 90’s, McDonald’s had their own series of in-house characters including the Hamburglar (and of course the creepy Ronald McDonald). I am not a McDonald’s eater (apart from maybe once a year at the very most) so I’m not sure why this idea appealed to me so much. I think its because I’m loving stripes a lot at the moment and I was thinking of stripey characters and the Hamburglar seemed the best. If it were October, I would so be dressing as him for Halloween :)

Anyway, check the image below for my Hamburglar inspired outfit idea using items available from high street shops. I tried looking for a nice hamburger brooch or something but had no luck so if you know of one, please tell me!
