ON UNIFORMS

SO,

WE NEVER HAD TO WEAR A UNIFORM PER SE.

BUT WE DID MAJOR IN DRESS CODE VIOLATIONS WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AT SCHOOL.

ONE PARTICULARLY MEMORABLE SARTORIAL MOMENT INVOLVED CONVINCING OUR FATHER THAT TIGHTS AND A SWEATER WE ADEQUATE, NO SKIRT NEEDED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE GOT OUR 6 YEAR OLD SELVES SENT HOME, WITH A VERY CHILLY BOTTOM.

WE HAVEN'T MATURED MUCH SINCE THEN,

BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT WE HAVE GRADUATED TO SOMETHING SLIGHTLY MORE SUITABLE FOR THE SPRING AIR:

 THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA BLU WAISTCOAT

IN JAPANESE INDIGO AND INDIAN IKAT COTTON CANVAS:

WITH SOME VERY WASHED OUT LAVENDER ROPE TRIM:

(SUBTLE IS OUR MIDDLE NAME- SEE ABOVE ANECDOTE ABOUT FORGETTING OUR BOTTOMS)

STRIPEY GUTS MADE FROM KIKOY.

 NO GUTS NO GLORY 
WE BELIEVE WAS THE MANTRA OF OUR PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER.

AND REALLY, TURQUOISE STRIPED INSIDES ARE THE BEST KIND OF INSIDES YOU CAN ASK FOR.

CAUSE THAT STUFF IS REVERSIBLE MY FRIEND.

WOAH, NELLIE:

 NOW THAT WE'VE COVERED THE ISSUE OF OUTERWEAR FOR SPRING, LET US PROGRESS TO WHAT GOES UNDER  ALL THAT ACTION:

IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG YOU'LL KNOW THAT WHEN IN DOUBT, WE GO FOR THE JUMPSUIT.

STILL UNSURE? WE DEFER TO PAISLEY. 
(CREATURES OF HABIT ARE WE)

HELLO, ALIX OF BOHEMIA BRIGITTE ROMPER:

MADE FROM INDIAN BLOCK PRINT PAISLEY COTTON AND EDGED IN A LITTLE CONTRASTING BANDING.

THAT GIRL'S GOT SOME ELASTIC IN HER SO SHE'S LIGHT TO THE TOUCH AND BREEZY ON THE THIGHS. WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT THIS TIME OF YEAR, WITH ALL THE TREE CLIMBING AND BIKE RIDING THERE IS TO BE DONE. 

AND THEN WE GET ALL DRESSED UP AND TAKE A PHOTO SO WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW IT COMES TOGETHER.

AND WE REALISE, ITS PROBABLY TIME WE GET SOME FRIENDS, BECAUSE ALL THESE SELFIE- BATHROOM PHOTOSHOOTS ARE NOT REALLY CUTTING IT.

SORRY.

OUR UNIFORM IS COOL THOUGH, NO?

GET YOUR OWN RAGS FOR THE SUN, SAY HELLO BOHEMIA HERE.
