I'm wearing: handmade top, skirt and headband; thifted roller skates; old black converse

I’ve been working on this dress that is not a dress for a few days now, it's inspired by poppies that grey in massive wild fields around where I live. The top is a corset style top made with cotton under a layer of red lace. The skirt is chiffon layered over dress lining. I made the pieces separate so that I could wear them apart as well as together, I sometimes wish I could take the top or skirt of a dress and wear it alone so problem solved! The headband is flowers made from left over cotton.

I also wore my new roller skates, I got them at a charity shop that I visited on the weekend, I bought a typewriter for £5 and the skates were free with it! Also, they were red and matched this outfit so well, I just had to wear them. After the shoot I rode them down the biggest hill around, on a lovely smooth path, what fun!

I went out today with intentions of shooting in the light of the setting sun, somewhat achieve although it had passed behind a rain cloud by the time I got outside because my father rearranged my room while I was gone and I had to search the house for my tripod. I walked through a lot of tall grass to take these, and I swear I saw a leach! I also stepped on an anthill but ran before the ants attacked.

These photos show my dip dye quite well, even if it has faded to an odd salmon-orange colour by now, pity, I'll have to renew the colour soon.

I'm wearing the following. Top: Zara; Skirt; thrifted; Belt: thrifted; Hat: Urban Outfitters; Boots; from my mum.
