Boots: Urban Outfitters

Texture, texture, texure. It is everywhere! You can’t make it down the high street without spotting a faux fur coat walking past.  For me, out of all the winter trends I  find this the most difficult one to translate in to my wardrobe.  It can appear quite shapeless and bulky on a little person like me, creating an unflattering silhouette. It is important to team it with an otherwise slim fit like skinny jeans and platforms.  Today I am wearing a chunky charcoal turtle neck with my mushroom spider web waistcoat.  I have teamed them with  my skinny jeans and navy boots.

What are your thoughts on texture for this season... have you got any tips to add depth to your look without looking frumpy?

 button me up

I stumbled upon this oversized dusty pink Gap shirt in my old pa’s wardrobe. I have buttoned it right to the top and buttoned down the collar. I can’t wear shirts any other way at the moment! It seems I have massively embraced the Olly Murs meets Gav (as of Gavin and Stacey) shirt thing. The shirt is worn under my Jack Wills cat jumper (cough.. its from their menswear collection..cough) and teamed with my Forever 21 jeggings. Dressed up with Steve Madden platform wedge sandals worn with thick black socks.

What do you think of the “Murs/Gav” shirt flex?

Shoes: Vintage Rebecca Sanver

follow the yellow brick road.

I found these Rebecca Sanvers at a vintage store in Camden, North London. I was immediately drawn to the colour. I have always wanted yellow shoes and these are a fabulous  banana shade of the colour.

After finding these I decided to research a little about the designer and ethos behind the brand.  “The style/design philosophy is to dress the women’s feet for every moment of the day”. In light of this, Rebecca Sanver provides a wide range of shoe categories – she even designs bridal footwear.

The shoe speak for itself and is the statement piece in an outfit. In light of this, I will be dressing down wearing black  Topshop jeggings, an oversized American Apparel black shirt and my long length black blazer.  Perhaps a simple chain necklace to accessorise with a black clutch.

What are your thoughts on these shoesies?
