Tartan Dog

The sun is trying to show its face but its still cold outside and I'm getting a bit bored of my winter coats so I'm thinking of new ways to keep warm. My favourite way at the moment is getting a HUGE scarf, wrapping it around my neck and placing a broche to secure the ends. 

In fact this whole outfit started because I love my dogtooth skirt from Zara and I could easily wear it everyday. Wear the same outfit twice, you say?? Noo I would never do that, but wear that same item of clothing but in a different style? Yes! All the time. Its so easy to get caught up in one outfit and can't think of another way of wearing it. This is what I love doing. I want to get the most of my money. If I've spent £50 on a skirt I want to wear it 50 times to get my moneys worth's. This is why I think its important to buy timeless pieces. Fashion goes around in circles. I'm sure it wont be long till Denim skirts are back in fashion. In fact I've only just gone and brought myself a pair of flared jeans (post coming soon) and I've got a feeling it will be out with the skinny's and in with the flares this spring.

P.S Don't be afraid to mix your patterns, just as long as the colours match you can't go wrong. 

 

Keep your eyes peeled.

Biting Dogtooth

Christmas is just around the corner and I'm wrapping up warm but keeping it simple. This winter its about roll necks and A Line skirts and its such a simple outfit. It suits all body times and comfortable to wear.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Let the coat do the talking

Its easy to get into a bad habit of wearing all black and who can blame you, its a flattering colour. When wearing black from head to toe you still need to stand out from the crowd and the way to do it? Having a statement coat. This doesn't mean the coat needs to be brightly coloured. A coat which is black can still work, it just needs a good fit and cut.

 

Lets start with the base layer..

With the simplest of simple layers done, lets look at the coats. I have a real love for the Dogtooth print. Its sophisticated and simple.
The first coat is a vintage number from my nans wardrobe. It originally use to be a dress but with her handy sewing skills she turned it into a coat, so its a one off I'm afraid ladies but I've seen lots of similar coats in this style.

In The Style have a few similar.

 

 

 

 

Coat number two is more of a oversized cardigan and once again its from my Nans wardrobe but I  found a corker in Zara which isn't on the website! Zara is on point with its style at the moment.

 

 

The final coat is last seasons from Zara but with the leather sleeves its still on trend with no look of going out of fashion any time soon. I have found an American website which seem to be doing an exact match Ali Express

 

 

 

 

Can you believe it a whole post with no pop of colour and its all Black Black Black.

 

Black the leading colour in fashion.
