New in: STUDDED COLLAR SHIRT


 

I found this little gem on ebay. It doesnt have a brand or any labels or anything it just fits so well. It arrived in the post and I spend the rest of the evening when I got home from work pairing it with nearly everything already hanging in my wardrobe and imagining what it would look llike with other things on my shopping wish list. 

I have gone a bit crazy with blouses, tops and shirts with amazing collars recently. so wearable now and so wearable in 6 months!!! Throw it on over a white bandau with jeans or tuck into cute shorts... easy peasy!!

Mind change: OLIVIA PALERMO IN TOPSHOP

When I first saw the photos of these Topshop trousers go up I must admit I wasn't sold (see previous post about trousers and pink) but Once again Olivia Palermo has managed to change my mind about a piece of clothing....



Much prefer the bottom half of this outfit to the top half though. Although admitidly I've had my eye on that sheer cream beaded peplum Topshop top for quite some time. I think I'd pair the trousers with similar shoes, but with a slightly oversized white jumper and a thin black patent belt to bring the waist back in. Hey presto a simple spring outfit!!

Day and Night: MAWI EARRINGS

Every woman has them, and every woman does it. I am referring to the simple wardrobe staples and the ability to dress them up for the night time and  dresss them down for the day. I, however do it with the majority of my wardrobe. I am talking maybe 85-90% of it. I can easily wear that tight bodycon dress that i wear out, during the day with some flat pumps, and oversized bag and a leather jacket, and wearing the high waisted shorts with a pair of skyscraper ankle boots rather than converse, is a simple and effective switch to make.

I have, however, realised that I don't apply the same dressing method to my jeans. Maybe cos I own two pairs of jeans, and rarely wear them. But since the cold weather has decended upon us, when walking my dog, I've both ruined my black skinnies and fallen back in love with them at the same time. I think some staple shopping is in order before christmas.

Anyway, this is, about a pair of earrings, I spotted whilst browsing mywardrobe.com. I have 5 days until payday so this is a ridiculously, silly thing to do. I create a mental list, by the time friday comes, I would have forgotten most of it.


A simple way to liven up your wardrobe staple jeans and t-shirt. For the day; Nike Blazers, Zara slouch bag. For Night; Zara studded leather clutch and suede Charlotte Olympia heels. Jeans are Topshop, t-shirt by Acne and MAWI earrings.

When I think about it I could probably very easily recreate these looks by delving into those monster wardobes I have.

If you ever have a spare afternoon, look through your wardrobe and start pairing things that you wouldnt normally wear together, with each other. Believe me its so easy and once I started doing it, it actually started changing the way I looked at pieces I wanted in the shops before buying them. If youve read back in this blog you'll know that, I can like an item of clothing, but as soon as I start building outfit ideas in my head thats when I fall in love with it.

WEARING MY HEART ON MY....LEGS??

You might remember that I told all about not owning a pair or trousers. Well I managed to rectify this little mistake fairly quickly with a quick pop into Topshop. I tried on two of the three pairs I showcased in the previous post. Can you guess which pair I bought?




I'll give you a little hint. I want to but the shirt, shoes and coat in the photo to complete the outfit. The coat is gorgeous!!!
