'Despicable' Dress Code

Hi guys! I know, I know, its been ages since my last post ( 5 months and 5 days to be precise!) but I have officially achieved a 2:1 in my English degree! (yay me!) So that means no excuses to keep up with my blog posts. I have literally felt like a sloth these pasts few days which don't get me wrong is acceptable after working hard but all in moderation. I've been enlightened. It's time to work on my interests and more importantly make them known.
Now, not to toot my own horn ( but lets face it horns are made to be tooted) I have a habit of stumbling upon the latest fashion trends without even realising. Perhaps that's the daredevil in me? I always love to try new styles. Have I always got it right? Hell no! ( I have a pair of bright purple disco leggings in my wardrobe-WHY?!) but that's the whole point about fashion, its about experimenting. And the best accessory you can wear? Confidence.





My fashion credential was coincidentally on a high in this pic of me holding my beloved minion because yes, believe it or not The Minions have entered into the world of fashion and boy do they mean business!






Me and Stuart <3





After the success of Despicable Me, The Minions now have their own feature film in cinemas now and in true Hollywood style its leading stars Stuart, Bob and Kevin have become fashion icons- yes its true! They have influenced the likes of British designers Criminal Damage ( known for their cool street style), Giles Deacon and Piers Atkinson just to name a few. The Bello Yellow Collection has launched in Selfridges and its not too late for you to jump on the bandwagon. There are eccentric pieces for the brave such as the Minions Goggle Cap by Giles Deacon or the more wearable Criminal Damage pieces for the savvy street kids.





Piers Atkinson Goggle cap £305.00 Selfridges

 


My faves include the Minions sweatshirt and joggers by Criminal Damage which are ultra cute-rather than wearing them together and looking like a onesie I would probably wear the pieces separately to make more of a bold statement.







Cotton top and joggers £55.00 each Criminal Damage


The South Korean denim brand SJYP have also created an exclusive collection as it seems The Minions have officially brought back the denim dungarees (move over Bob the Builder). How cute is this navy sweatshirt?! Really get into character with a minion-esque fountain ponytail like the model below.



SJYP



Dungarees £320.00
Top £115.00 both SJYP at Selfridges


Whichever way you choose to dress 'despicably', one things for sure...you'll definitely look one in a minion!


Stay classy ;)
