For my final autumn style uniform, I wanted to show you how I’ve been dressing on days when I don’t want to wear jeans or trousers. It’s usually during this transitional period that I can get away with bare legs just a little longer, especially if I bulk up the layers on my upper half. For this style uniform, I pair an oversized knit sweater + skirt + boots, with a coat thrown over the top for good measure. Wearing Mott & Bow cashmere sweater, Everlane patch pocket skirt (I wear this in a US0), Everlane boss boots (review here),…
After eyeing up the J’adior slingback flats from Dior for the better part of two years, I was finally able to tick them off my wish list as my most recent 5PFW addition. Instead of going through the luxury shopping experience, I decided to save myself a few pennies and buy these pre-loved, which had the added benefit of being aligned with the style resolutions I made at the start of this year. Working from home most days, the one thing I look for most in shoes is comfort and style, and these strike the right balance. From a comfort…
Aside from relying on my style uniform to get ready each morning, I’ve also been looking a lot to PinterestLINK for a fresh take on how I can wear some of my old autumn/winter favourites. Unsurprisingly, it’s been the simple, minimal styling that I’ve been really drawn to. Classic, tailored basics can be incredibly effective, especially when paired together in the right proportions. There’s five outfits that have been inspiring me lately, so I thought I’d share them with you and break down what I like about each look. It was this first outfit (featured above) that made me realise…
I thought I’d kick of the week by diving into my second autumn style uniform; a slim-fitting tee + straight leg jeans + oversized blazer + pointed toe shoes. There’s a real sense of familiarity in wearing variations of what is essentially the same outfit, and it’s a fail-safe on days when you don’t feel like experimenting or trialling a new ‘look’. Wearing Re/Done t-shirt, Everlane straight leg jeans (review here), Everlane linen blazer, Charlotte Olympia pumps (old but these are a great affordable dupe), Oroton bag, Isabel Marant belt, Linjer watch, Mejuri necklace, Thomas Sabo earrings This is an…
As much fun as it’s been to mix things up style-wise with my weekly edits, the reality is that I’ve found myself wanting to revert to one a simple outfit formula. It’s gotten me thinking again about my attitudes to fashion. I’ve admitted my fickleness before, and it’s usually here that it shines through. One week I’m open to trying new things, the next, I crave the comfort of a familiar style uniform. Given I’m no stranger to repeating outfits, I doubt this comes as much of a surprise. Wearing Marks & Spencer tank, Dr Denim skinny jeans (old but…
