Outfit Of The Day | White Leather Trim

Dress – Rare London* | Jumper – Topshop | Jacket – Topshop | Shoes – ASOS

I’m too impatient to wait for warm weather to break out my new summery dresses, so the other day I wore a fluffy jumper over this pale turquoise and white faux leather dress from Rare London. Admittedly I did throw on some black tights with this outfit before I went out, but I wanted to show off my new shoes properly in these photos! They are the Ladybug pointed flats from ASOS; I’ve been meaning to pick up a pair of plain black pointed ankle strap shoes since last summer, so I finally bit the bullet and bought these when I came across them, they’re perfect! They’re a very reasonable £22 too, and are comfortable.

I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can wear this dress without layering it up because it’s super cute! The white faux leather trim makes a nice change from the usual black, and I don’t think I own anything else turquoise.

Blue Valentine

Dress – Hidden Fashion* | Jumper – Primark | Cardigan – Uniqlo | Boots – Missguided* (similar) | Necklace – Chicnova*

My Valentine’s Day outfit! My V-Day plans consisted of a home-cooked steak dinner rather than some overpriced meal out among other couples holding hands while they eat (no thanks), so my outfit was nothing particularly special, but I still wanted to keep it cute. I absolutely love the pale blue, summery take on tartan in this Hidden Fashion dress, which I wore with a fluffy Primark jumper, monochrome Missguided boots and a super versatile black cardi from Uniqlo. I always have a plain black cardigan like this in my wardrobe; this one is new as I felt it was about time I replaced my old one which had a hole in it (oops), and Uniqlo is so great for basics. My belt is vintage (one of the few things I bought when I was in LA in the summer), and my necklace is from Chicnova. I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day!

Tartan Skort

Coat – ASOS | Jumper – Primark | Skort – Hidden Fashion* | Boots – Topshop

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!

Pastel Party

Coat – Front Row Shop* | Jumper – Primark | Skirt – Missguided* | Boots – Ark*

With the festive period very much upon us I’ve found myself needing more than one dressy-but-not-too-dressy outfit for family visits and meals out and such like, and whilst I am a huge fan of sequins and velvet and other typical Christmas and New Years clothing, I wanted to put together something a bit different too. What better way to do this than with pastels?!

Here I paired my new Missguided pink PVC skirt, which I have been lusting over ever since that Topshop version sold out, with another of my many fluffy jumpers – my favourite texture combination at the moment. This jumper is a really sweet subtle shade of lilac, and is a bargain £10 from Primark. The skirt is almost half the price of the Topshop version at £19.99, and comes in a mini and skater style too. I still can’t get enough of pink so I wore this amazing pale pink cocoon coat from Front Row Shop over the top, verging on overkill perhaps but I think it looks cute! Finally I toned down the pastels ever so slightly by opting for amazing holographic ‘oil slick’ boots from Ark and a matching clutch from BooHoo. If you’re a size 3 the boots are on sale for £20 at Ark, but if not Missguided have a version here. Would you go for an allover pastel look for the holiday season?

Dogtooth

Coat – SheInside* | Jumper – Missguided* | Shorts – Choies* | Boots – Topshop

I think by now it’s probably obvious that I LOVE coats! You can never have too many in the colder months in my opinion, I would much rather repeat and mix and match plain outfits underneath a different coat every day. This Zara-esque collarless dogtooth print coat is a recent addition to my coat collection, and is another bargain at under £25 from SheInside. Here I wore it with my new favourite fluffy jumper from Missguided, and new faux leather shorts from Choies. I think that black leather shorts (paired with Primark’s supercosy tights of course) make a great alternative to leather trousers or jeans, and don’t forget you can get 20% off the jumper at Missguided today!

Winter Outfit Wishlist

Coat – Topshop | Jumper – Topshop | Skirt – Topshop | Watch – Michael Kors @ J.R.Dunn

Stuck for Christmas list ideas? Sadly I constantly have a list as long as my arm of things I want to own, but not everyone does so I put together a very luxe looking winter outfit which is heading up my wishlist at the moment. All the clothing is Topshop, who are currently offering free worldwide delivery so now is the perfect time to order! I’m obsessed with the grey vinyl skirt, although at £100 I think I might have to wait for the sale or keep my eye out for a dupe. The cropped fluffy jumper is a much more reasonable £34 and is definitely a winter essential. This coat is just gorgeous too! I love that it has no collar (I’m really feeling either oversized collars or no collar at all on coats at the moment, no middle ground!), and I think that the print and the silhouette are both super chic. I also think that the colours would look great with this rose gold Michael Kors watch I picked from JRDunn. I’m normally not a Michael Kors fan when it comes to watches as I think they’re mostly far too chunky for my scrawny wrists, but I think that this one is fab and rose gold makes a nice change from the traditional options of silver or gold. What’s at the top of your Christmas wishlist?

Vinyl Vision

Coat – ASOS | Jumper – Missguided* | Skirt – Missguided* | Boots – Missguided* (similar here)

I don’t mean to ~”toot my own horn”, but I really love this outfit! I was very excited to receive a Missguided package containing this beautiful pale blue fluffy cropped jumper and fab PVC midi skater skirt, which I chose both because I really like them individually, and because I’m currently obsessed with this particular combination of textures. Both pieces are £19.99 which I think is great value, especially compared to the very similar Topshop versions (you would be shelling out £55 for the skirt alone!). I also wore my latest purchase – this amazing ‘Coatigan’ from ASOS. I have had my eye on it for weeks and finally decided to hit purchase, typically two days before ASOS did their 48 hours of 20% student discount! As annoying as that was, I’m still very happy with it – it is super cosy, I love the colour and the oversized collar and fit, and it’s great for layering.

Minty Fresh

Coat – SheInside* | Fluffy jumper – Karma Clothing* | Trousers – ASOS | Shoes – Topshop

Pastel outerwear is my ideal way of wearing pale colours in the winter, so I was very excited to receive this adorable mint green coat from SheInside. Another bargain at £30.51, it is just too good to pass up! Plus, thinking ahead, I feel like it will be the perfect transitional piece when it comes to spring. Here I’m wearing it with the latest addition to my fluffy jumper collection, this super cute cropped, off-white number from Karma Clothing. Fluffy jumpers and cardigans of every shape and style are definitely becoming a winter staple for me! I’m also wearing my favourite trousers at the moment: these high waist peg trousers in the perfect soft shade of light grey – currently on sale for a very good value £24.50 at ASOS. I finished off the outfit with a pale pink belt (Primark, old) and fab Topshop silver cut-out shoes which I still can’t get enough of. How do you feel about winter pastels?
