No Debutante - I love my Kuccia Bomber Jacket

I have a lot going on this weekend so I know there will not be much blogging going on! I thought I would attempt a quick post using my smart phone so here goes!! I apologise for any ramdomness on the post I have no idea how to preview it! A quick edit later on can sort any problems, I'm sure!"
I wore todays outfit to my club night Bang a few weeks ago. It is another mash up style outfit mixing 1950s with the late 1980s.
I am wearing my favourite Vivien of Holloway jeans, with my coca cola crop top and my amazing Fresh Prince of Bel- air style aztec oversized bomber jacket by Kuccia at Topshop. Remember the one I tried on in the Topshop changing rooms?? Can I just say, I just browsed their website and I am loving it!! So bright with loads of clashing prints, it's right up my street!! Www.kuccia.com check it out!! My jackets currently on the home page!
It is funny that I didn't seem to get too many compliments or Instagram likes for the jacket which only encourages me to wear it more! I think it is one of those garments that confuses people, is it really cool or is it a fashion error?? I am confident that it is really cool, it rocks!! My husband Phil however, still needs convincing.....in a polite way Phil described the jacket as being 'a bit bright, mad and shiny' which to me sounds like he is describing a shell suit jacket!! He then went on to say 'it's very You though' with a confused look on his face. Ha!
I like the mixing of styles in this outfit, the whole thing is very late eighies, since 1950s style was also a big thing next to the aztec influenced prints. I am also wearing lipstick in the last pic which is virtually unknown, thought I'd try it out. What do you think of the outfit as a whole? Do you like the aztec bomber jacket?

I Love......Bomber Jackets

I have noticed that I have quite a collection of Bomber Jackets on my Pinterest fashion board, my conscious interest in the bomber jacket started with the TLG magazine I picked up a few months ago, there were several fashion stories with Bomber Jackets in and I certainly got a liking for them. I have included some of the images from TLG here as well as images from bloggers I follow, Tokyo street style and my favourite bombers from the High Street. The bomber jacket, for me, is a move on from the military khaki jackets you can pick up everywhere now (although I love all my army jackets and they never really go out of style as they have a cult status) I prefer to wear mine big and slouchy and I will probably get an army surplus jacket and pick up any extra bombers I like or can afford until I feel I have enough. I am proud to say that I haven't bought an oversized cardigan for about a year now....See I can control this obsessive buying! Can't I?

 Oversized raver style Bomber jacket with Ganesh print from WIA Warriors Lookbook SS 2013 (I really want this jacket but it may be a bit out of my price range! This Bomber was also first spotted in TLG Magazine so thanks to them for the inspiration).
 
 Here's my favourite fashion blogger Susie 'Style Bubble' in her RWB AW13 bomber jacket. In very similar colours to the WIA Warriors Bomber.

 Aztec and Denim Varsity Bomber Jackets from Topshop SS 2013
 H&M quilted bomber jacket. I love this jacket and it is only £35 but has sold out in all sizes but a Size 10 and I wanted it in the biggest size they do which is a Size 16 (and not nearly big enough) I want my bomber to be as big as the WIA Warriors one above!!! Great value though, I am not surprised it sold out.



The original Army Surplus classic bomber jacket with orange lining - Love it!!
 
 
My birthday is coming up and I want one of these jackets!! Watch this space to see if I get my birthday wish! Which one's your favourite??
 
Thanks for reading.
