James Dean.

From the title, you can imagine an amazing story on the iconic James Dean, why I am wearing it and everything it entails. Truth be told, I saw this skirt, and I wanted something baggy and different to go with it...so I threw on this James Dean tee. 

However I guess to venture down the James Dean road, the very first time I saw a photo of him when I was 18. I was standing in my friends room at college and she had quite a large poster of James Dean who was leaning against a car, pinned to her bedroom door. I had not seen any of his movies and my shocked friend immediately made me watch "Rebel  Without A Cause". I realised at that point I didn't watch any movies older than the 1990s and I soon became fascinated with 1950s movies such as High Society and To Catch A Thief. If you were like me, and only watched "modern" movies then definitely give some oldies a try. You might be pleasantly surprised, as well as falling in love with Grace Kelly's style. She wore a white swimsuit in High Society which I love. That type of style can be rarely replicated. 

The skirt is from H&M, a shop which I seem to live in at the moment! I will definitely try this with different colours, maybe a bright cerise as well as a plain black top. Although I have to start trying to introduce more colours into my wardrobe, monochrome is a classic which I keep going back to.
