Let me tell your fortune..

First post
I thought of this theme of magical gypsies and magicians from the book I was reading called "something Wicked this way comes" its very creepy, set in this evil carnival, and I was so into it that I missed my tube stop whilst reading it. Well, I guess what we did wasn't exactly creepy but we I think the outfits were kind of theatrical..ish.

So, heres Sophia wearing this old dress I have had in my dressing up draw (a lot of my stuff comes from there!) and she is wearing a top from free people but the wrong way round (its a dress but the bottom was exactly what I wanted so I draped it over her neck) and I went a bit mad with scarfs and kind of tied them everywhere, Georgie had some perfect jewellery for the outfit.

Twiggy looking kind of gypsish with the headscarf and all,

 I know kind of unrelated but just now I was thinking of gypsies and fortune tellers and I remembered "Big", that movie where Tom Hanks plays a child trapped in an adults body, and he wishes on that fortune teller machine, so yeah, I do have an explanation for my weirdness.

This was the book I was rambling on about before and I thought the cover looked pretty cool 
So heres Georgie sporting another outfit:

Yeh you may have noticed the continual use of that fancy purple curtain, but come on it does look pretty magicalish, so it may come in handy. Me and Georgie (Georgie and I, yes I know i know) have used a skirt for a shawl (pretty creative huh?) and the rest of the outfit is various beachy bits and pieces. 

I chose this from the vivenne westwood fashion show because though I know it doesn't directly link to our magical theme I think the ruffly shawl and the texture definitely links in and also I just really like this outfit.
And lastly me,

So I wore a more magician type outfit, this consisted of an enormous glittery black coat which I found in my dressing up draw (seriously me and my sister used to play so much with it and now it comes in surprisingly handy!) and a skirt which is a sacred hand-me down (i get tonnes of hand-me-downs since I am the smallest in my family, when I was little it was all like blah but as you get older it gets much better, but I do always feel kind of evil when my cousins and over their favourite clothes really unwillingly), a skirt which my sister bought when she was like 11 in camden and has been her most loved piece of clothing for 5 whole years and lastly my velvety purple top. My top is actually a dress but is super short and Im just praying for something to wear it out in before I have to hand it over to some far off relatives, I am slightly obsessed with it at the moment and I think I might just cry giving it away. Oh almost forgot the SUPER BIG gold lock necklace which Georgie has, but thats me all done!
