Listening to the above song on repeat has inspired me to write about band tees and other grungy looks that i wish that i could pull off but my middle-class buckinghamshire upbringing prevents me. My problem is that i simply cannot look edgy, and any attempt to falls into the category of tragic instead. I look at models like Erin Wasson and company above, and (although i whole-heartedly disagree with the portrayal of beauty and idolatry of size zero in the media) i find myself coveting those long limbs and natural beauty which allow them to pull off any outfit with ease. Nevertheless, i am making it my mission to discard my pussy-bow blouses and structured trousers for something a little more grungy. Maybe even a band tee....
Here are my picks of the trend:
Shorts, Socks and Tee all Urban Outfitters. Boots, Carvela at Kurt Geiger. Hat, ASOS.
I totally wish i could wear clothes like these, you know the 'i'v just thrown this on after picking it up off the floor, but i still look like a model' But unfortunately due to my lack of legs the length of the M25 i struggle with this look too :)

wow, i completely agree; why don't grunge tees look 'that grunge' on me? maybe it's because i look nothing like those models who wear them :p so sad.
