Get Yer Motor Running

That Hells Angel stalwart; the biker waistcoat, has made it's way into my wardrobe. It was inevitable really. I had one when I was 13 so there is no reason why I wouldn't have one again at 35. Last time it was genuine leather, this time it's a cheap PVC biker jacket from Primark which I have hacked the sleeves off.

It'll actually be very useful for toughening up any overly girly outfits, much like the traditional biker jacket does. And if I get mistaken for a Hells Angel, albeit a super puny one, then at least no-one will mess with me!  It's the alteration that keeps on giving!

hmm I should try that ...then it would solve all my probs of trying to find the perfect leather vest..which seems impossible right about now! Great look

[mille]

heehee, the biker vest might toughen your outfit up, but you look almost too cute with that smile!

i wish we had primark in denmark, i've had the exact same idea for a while now, but i can't find a decent leather jacket that i'd want to cut up, or at least i haven't found a reasonably prized one yet... did find some leather shorts though! talk about bad hells angels vibes ... but i like em :)

anyway, LOVE your blog<3

I think thats the first time I have seen you smile! lol Nice outfit! xx

[lopi]

I love it too that you smile a lot more lately! And the hacked jacket looks amazing! Great you found a cheap faux version though. I could never bring myself to cut up a real leather jacket... Except if I was going to use the sleeves for some other DIY. But I suppose you've already thought that!

Everyone's going to say it, so I thought I'd get in early - loving the smile!

The biker jacket is such a good idea - I might pop to my local vintage shop and grab myself one on the cheap, and hack off the sleeves. Great look once more. Cx

I like the idea of a sleeveless biker jacket, it looks great on you, also I love the leggings

[WendyB]

Great combo with the leggings and pretty smile!

A leather jacket is the next thing on my wishlist; I had accepted that I could not afford one but your Primark looks super with butchered arms! Interesting...

I have been reading your blog for a long time but never commented before, however I can't not comment on this - I can't believe you're 35! You look absolutely fantastic for your age! You should tell us what beauty products you use as well :-)

Great vest! Especially teamed with that gorgeous blouse! I need more 'tough' items in my wardrobe to wear with girly pieces, or they end up not getting worn...

I can't remember the last time I saw you smile, Queen Michelle. You look great.

I love that DIY. You gave that jacket a new lease on life.
