Frock Fridays

{av} set us a real challenge for today's link-up: chambray.  It's the hot new thing in fashion, apparently, but I had to Google the word to find out what it is.  (According to Wikipedia, it's a kind of cloth that looks vaguely like demin; raise your hand if you didn't know that either, please.)  It seems like something that hipsters might wear, so I Googled "chambray hipster" and - lo and behold - came up with 4.4 million hits.  Comparatively, "seersucker hipster" only got 105,000 hits, so you know I'm on to something here.*

That's a really convenient coincidence, because Jon and I are heading to Shoreditch tonight for merriment.  East London is full to the brim of hipsters, which means we'll be surrounded by these people.**  I'm not desperate to embrace their style or ethos, but I can try to blend in a bit, can't I?  Enter chambray, a cross-body saddlebag, and ironic colorful rubber bracelets.

If you're wondering, we're heading to Shoreditch to enjoy Street Feast London, a popup market featuring delicious food in a carnival atmosphere.  What happens after that depends on how adventurous we're feeling - we might hit up a bar to sample some indie microbrews that have hand-drawn labels, or maybe we'll go listen to a band so cool and undiscovered that it hasn't even been formed yet.  Who knows?  But I'll be prepared in my chambray, that's for sure.

* However, "chambray preppy" found 10.4 millions hits on Google, so it's possible that I'm approaching this post from the wrong angle.

**no offence, duh.
