I know some girls are afraid of dressing in shapes that hide their figures, but for some reason I’ve always loved mannish silhouettes. I think as long as you keep some parts of the outfit tailored and your make-up feminine, it can still be cool and boyish without losing all sex appeal. This French Connection men’s shirt is great for adding just that right amount of masculinity to an outfit – I love the subtle spot pattern on the fabric – and I’ve also been wearing it tucked into skinny jeans and denim shorts for a more casual look.
Happy Friday everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend. I’ve got a friend from uni coming to visit and we’re going to go all out tourist on London! Having worked and lived in London for a while, it’s nice to forget all about the frustration that comes with being there 24/7 (hello tube in the summer, I’m looking at you) and just enjoy the city for the amazing place it is. x
