Film fashion/carry on england/Balmain/EDITED

Discovered this look doesn’t suit my colouring as khaki is autumn, and the jacket doesn’t suit my body type, it almost does, except for the hips which are too big for me. Used to wear khaki a lot, so glad I discovered seasonal colours.

Khaki is Autumn – We used to wear it with burgundy lips and nails, which shows what we knew lol!!! Khaki matches brown better, just noticed these girls need a makeover too!!!

Film fashion is about getting ideas out of films, the main objective being that it suits us. Each season has a green, so it is about getting the right shade for you. There are a few shades of green in the uniform. 

If you fit the jacket, but realise you aren’t Autumn, Balmain do other colours, so just get the jacket in your seasonal colour instead. If you’re not doing film fashion exactly just choose the colour you like.

If you love this film and look, which someone obviously does as they want it on every new year.

Thought I’d source some Balmain.

Carry on England film fashion

Balmain does this look usually, but this season they are not stocking khaki.

Film fashion from last year

Found a dress I bought from Balmain last year, this is just a virtual shop. Decided to blog it for my body dysmorphia project as I have gone back to hating having my photograph taken and need to get used to having it taken again for my counseling project. Think I would do burgundy and gold makeup with this dress even if it isn’t accurate. Remember choosing this last year. Actually think I’ll experiment with makeup colours to match khaki. hopefully getting the technic makeup palette from Argos, (this was supposed to be my Boxing Day haul, but Christmas wasn’t that smooth for us this year), hoping to get it in the new year now instead. Used to get one of these from George every year.

just £12.99

Good value for experimenting with

All Makeup at Argos

Worth a browse and shop as I got my order last year, so you will be able to get your order too.

Enjoy!!!

Have to say I quite like this dress and Khaki, so would wear this. If it fits. It isn’t my colours, but suppose rules are for breaking sometimes. Might work with a tan as your seasonal colours change then? Lost some weight since this photograph. Got some pre-COVID camouflage shoes in storage – the glue melted on them and they sort of sweated? not sure what has happened? I keep cleaning them, as not sure when fashion that fits is coming back?

These are George pre covid camouflage shoes

I’ve got this top still as well I think, it doesn’t really fit me properly like a lot of women were saying. It was the last dress shop to go before the fat revolt, so had to shop there. Wonder if it is for a small waist? which I haven’t got.

Knockoff/Balmain

Found a Balmain knockoff shop. Was going to get it from Designer Desirables but that has shut down till further notice

Site Unavailable

I regret to inform all customers that the company has now ceased to trade. No returns will be accepted and the warehouse is closed. Further information will be given shortly.

Found this internet site that specializes in Balmain knockoffs.

Victoria Gold Button Double Breasted Tailored Blazer

This is really well-priced

Victoria Gold Button Double Breasted Tailored Blazer

Teal Green

styleofbeyond.co.uk/products/victoria-gold-button-double-breasted-tailored-blazer-teal-green

Found this green, that suits winter so will give this one a try.

It is really short, so it really doesn’t go with jeans because of camel toe. I’d wear this with a skirt like in Carry on England or a dress. It looks too small on her, it is too short, should come down further?

It has a better selection of colours than Balmain?

It is obviously not going to be the same quality, but it is a good way of trying out Balmain and seeing if it fits or suits your body type. Or if you like the style but don’t want to pay Balmain prices.

Looks better with a dress.

If it doesn’t fit, you would get an idea of the sizing and if it was your style without wasting too much money.

You need to style this so you don’t look like you are going to a fancy dress party as a wren from World War 2.

Not sure what this is till I get it.

Couldn’t resist this Balmain bag which will match the Suzy Wong look.

You need to get the right shade of lipstick and nail varnish to match your seasonal colours to jolly the lookup, so it isn’t a fancy dress look.

If you are a Balmain woman hope you like this blog. If you aren’t doing this blog like a fancy dress party, you might want to browse the knock-off version as it has more colours than the actual Balmain website.

Hope you get the designer Balmain if it is your look!!!

If we do this every year we will end up with a Balmain section in our wardrobe. 

Hope you enjoyed this blog and it inspired you with some ideas or helped you find some clothes you like.

Carry on British postman

Just discovered on Twitter last night the post office has had loads of problems this year, it was a bit conspiracy theory as it was Twitter, so not sure what the news actually was?

Think within the garbled conspiracy messages lies the reason why the Christmas post didn’t get through. Hope this is resolved this year. Not sure how to order these jackets and film fashion.

Carry on England the film

synopsis

The men and women of an anti-aircraft battery inevitably seem more concerned with getting to grips with each other than with the enemy. Bumbling Captain S Melly is sent to restore order, stifle innuendo, and thwart their attempts to `make love, not war’.

review

The fashion doesn’t suit my seasonal colours, but I have worn army and navy clothes whilst at art college like a lot of students do, that is more the 70’s take like in Bless this House the movie. Mind you I wore that because it was really affordable. Looking forward to getting my Balmain clothes collection and adding to it every year. 

A cheaper trendier army look is available at army and navy stores.

Just did a search at the Army and Navy for women clothes;

We’re sorry, we couldn’t find any results for ‘Women Khaki’.

Well, it was till COVID-19 fashion, guess someone thought that through, we could have fallen back on army and navy stores during covid and post covid, nice save fat revolt!!! (British sarcasm, I actually am annoyed).
