Style Diary: Thunderbolts and Lightning

Very very frighting! 

I'm in love love love with this Josh Goot blazer. From his Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection this white blazer features a symmetrical rainbow lightning print. Its just a bright look for me, with every colour of the rainbow in this jacket and then being white it's a new. 

Take a look at the Blazer. 

BAM amazing no?

For this look, it took me a while to piece it together. It's hard to create a look for such a bright and graphic piece. I added a simple white t-shirt and a pair of shorts that I made from jeans. I chose short shorts for the look so I don't look like a snow man. Showing skin balances the white. 

It wouldn't be a MARTAN look without a bit of black, so I added my Unif Hellraisers to the mix. The silver studs help to break up the black.
