Just a little interview with Jasmine Mary.

So just a few little questions concerning granny chic.


So Miss lets just start with what Granny chic means to you?


Personally it means it is now cool and socially acceptable for me to idealise gran. I can now borrow My grans clothing and know one will say a word.


Jasmine it has always been cool to idealise your gran! So what are the keys points in your style which make you Granny chic?


Well i shall start from the bottom and work my way up. To start my brogues and in fact any shoes bought from an awful old woman's catalogue. Then of course its the over sized knitted cardigans and paisley skirts. Finished with my favourite carpet bag. But of course knit wear is a massive part to any any one's wardrobe who adopts the granny look.


Knitwear is most defiantly a key point especially aran cardigans and the best place to get them is charity shops. Whats your favourite buy and why?


It has to be my hideously beautiful green, blue and purple paisley dress I found for £1.50 in a Devon charity shop. I have come home on many occasion to find the shredder on and my mum about to destroy it. She hates it!


Well it has to be said its one of my favourites. On the topic of charity shops wheres best if you don't mind giving away your secrets?


Well of course Devon as a whole. There isn't so many vintage buyers to get there first which means its easy to grab a bargain.  A great example of this is my Walker and Hawks wax jacket i got for £5. A favourite in London is Norwood in south gate run by rich house wives who devote a lot of time to making it an incredible place to shop. The problem with big charity shops now is that they have put there prices up, Oxfam for example have now opened vintage sections which means no more £5 dresses but more like £30. It completely ruins why we like charity shops.


So Jasmine to finish off i was just wondering being a twee folk artist yourself, who would you say reflects the movement musically?

Well my personal style is something i like to call Twee Folk Jazz, easy listening but something you can also boogie to. I would say other artists such as Julia stone and Lesley Fiest. Laura Marling can also be known to wear the odd tea dress.


Thank for your time jasmine its been a lovely chat full of laughter and i look for would to talking soon.
