TIP...opt for a t-shirt in silk for a more glamourous update the scalloped edges are a pretty more feminine detail and tighter fitting dungarees means this look can also be dressed up for night

London Fashion Week Day 1.....

TIP...today I have layered and old t-shirt over a chiffon dress to give it a more rock n' roll feel to the outfit but by adding heels still keeps the feminine side and stops the skirt looking too long and bulky and have layered gold chains to break up the black
