>> I've never felt like such a silly bint as the moment when I arrived at Liberty, huffing and puffing because the crazy bus driver on the 55 decided NOT to stop at Great Titchfield Street, only to the find out that the Liberty floral fash mob was over and done. Quite literally a mob and flash had been and gone. I could already see the smatterings of floral-clad guys and gals leaving the vicinity and still I rocked up.
So alas, these snaps aren't my own but the Liberty team have been quick and brisk in getting them up online. As you can see, hurrah - it was in fact a sizeable amount of people. Cue ditzy florals galore...
It was all very democratic as the best dressed trio were determined by the loudness of the public's cheer as they strutted down Carnaby Street in a walk-off. I can't testify for the amount of public participation but I think justice was done as the two girls are really working mixed florals superbly and I'm also jealous of the guy's washed-out shirt...
I did get to meet and snap the overall winner Natalie Cox who happens to be a Style Bubble reader. I loved all the little details she had going on; glasses, headscarf, brooch...
Oh well, nothing to do but to chomp some noodles at Cha Cha Moon and stare at the remnant of the event... the friendship bracelet...
Of course I did dress for the occasion, not to participate in the walk-off thankfully (because I walk like a moose) but purely for participation itself. Set me a theme for the day and I'll get stuck in. I do look like I'm wearing a granny's jumble sale but as I'm in the process of clearing things out, random items are coming up to the surface, like chicken scum in a soup.
(Vintage rose/cherub print oversized blazer, vintage green-silk t-shirt, Cacharel floral vest, Topshop quilted miniskirt, Sophia Malig leggings, I Heart Norwegian Wood cage skirt, T.U.K. suede creepers with paisley printed fabric laces, Urban Outfitters belt)
**EDIT** Pat Lyttle who works at Getty Images very very kindly sent me some of the ones he took....cue more ditzy florals...
