I’m fortunate to gig with a few different bands, which means lots of different outfits. Wherever possible i try to get my gig outfits from eBay, charity shops, and second hand stores online.
All photos were taken by the amazing Anna Harding from Hello Ding.
I scored this dress from One Scoop Store, my absolute favourite online shop - ‘a beautifully curated range of pre loved pieces’. This dress is a double whammy of fire truck red and velvet, and the straps alone are such an intense detail that I saw it and fell in love. Pure coincidence that it matches my Bridget Christie portrait taken by Idil Sukan. It was a present from an ex-boyfriend - it balances on top of a speaker in my office.
Those straps!
Trying to decide what to wear next for the shoot, which Anna caught on camera. I’m surrounded by charity shop sequins and velvet, One Scoop Store lace, hand me downs from my mum, plus a dress my mum made me for my cousin’s wedding. The pink dress I’m wearing was an absolute bargain from Stardust Years in Winchester.
The gold sequin dress was purchased off eBay; it was brand new with tags, originally from French Connection, and I literally snagged it for a 10th of the price. The pink dress is a ‘50s number from Cheap Jacks in New York. I bought it several years ago for my 21st birthday. When I went back to New York this January with my brother I was crushed to find the shop no longer exists. The black velvet dress is from Laura Ashley from a Wessex Cancer Trust charity shop.
