The wrap skort has received a little update in my wardrobe recently, and surprise surprise it’s tartan! I wore my black and white skorts to death over the summer so they haven’t made it out of my wardrobe in a while, but I couldn’t resist this checked version from Hidden Fashion (another super bargain at £10.49).
I feel I’m getting a little predictable with my fluffy jumpers, but I have been wearing these short sleeved Primark numbers in the place of t-shirts all winter now and definitely won’t be stopping! I threw on my go-to coat at the moment, this amazing grey ASOS slouch coat, and my current favourite Topshop Argo boots. Finally I’m wearing some adorable sun and moon earrings from Pretty In Black* (pictured below), I’ve been wearing these a lot recently and they’re only £4! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
One more checked piece to add to my winter collection! Like my tartan trousers, this print is quite subtle and a nice alternative to the more common in-your-face red and black print, something which I much prefer. The dress is also a cute silhouette with capped sleeves and a slightly flared skirt, and is a bargain at £11.49. Here I belted it, wore it with adorable school-girly cut-out shoes from Primark, and my trusty leather biker jacket.
One item of clothing I’ve been on the lookout for recently is a good pair of leather (faux or otherwise) trousers. I already have one fab pair from Missguided which have a really cool crocodile-skin effect, but I wanted something plainer to add to my collection and this pair from AX Paris are perfect! They’re not matte but aren’t too shiny, and also aren’t movement restricting-ly tight. The also have some nice detail on the knee, a non-leather strip on the inner leg and are faux leather so are vegi and vegan friendly. I think I will be getting a lot of wear out of them this winter, but here I paired them with another new piece from Choies – this very Alexander Wang-esque (I think so anyway!) textured jumper. I rolled the bottom cuff under here as the length sat awkwardly with the trousers, but I like that this jumper actually fits me rather than being cropped or oversized like most of my others. My adorable Choies Marc By Marc Jacobs-esque flats made an appearance too as it was a dry day.
I also wore my AMAZING new Primark coat which I’ve lived in since I finally got my hands on it after seeing it online months ago. It’s so fab I’m almost tempted to go back and buy another in case it bobbles easily… hm. At £32 it is a steal compared to pretty much every other high street alternative; all hail Primark!
As you might be able to tell, this is an outfit I wore a couple of weeks ago, whilst it was still somewhat warm – I’m currently freezing and haven’t quite worked out how to use the heating in my flat… . I couldn’t resist sharing it though, this coat is just amazing! I love the colours and especially the tailored style; it is another Zara-esque bargain at £24 from SheInside, and I’m hoping to still get plenty of wear out of it throughout winter too (layers are everything!!). Here I wore it over this super pretty Missguided dress, which I wore in my Missguided blogger edit but have also worn a bunch of times since. I love wearing it with a few different interesting necklaces, which I’m finally starting to build up a decent collection of. I especially love my obsidian pendant by IndigoMoon – you can currently order similar pendants and other one-of-a-kind jewels from the lovely Sarah on the IndigoMoon Facebook page.
As promised in my post yesterday, here is the full outfit kindly given to me by Missguided! Missguided are looking for your vote in the Fabulous High Street Awards as the best ‘One Stop Shop’, and as you can hopefully see from this outfit, they definitely deserve it! Everything from my hat to my shoes is Missguided, and I was really spoilt for choice when trying to decide what to choose for this feature. I went for the Reaha Kimono (currently £16.99), Vavery Dress in white (£34.99), Kayna Hat (£14.99), Micah Bag (£29.99) and Bettie Jelly Sandals in black (£21.99). The kimono is fab for the current transitional weather as the dark floral print is very autumnal but it’s also a nice light alternative to a coat, there’s nothing I don’t love about the dress, and all of the accessories are very versatile! Not to mention that this entire outfit, including the bag and hat, is under £120 – a price you’d struggle to match in some other high street shops.
Check out my feature on the Missguided website, and don’t forget to vote!
