I was recently invited to join the Take 10 girls after one of their members left, and I’m super excited to be part of the team. If you haven’t heard of the project before, it’s basically a group of 10 UK fashion bloggers who each receive the same/similar item from a brand and have to style it in their own way. I thought it would be a fun feature to have on the blog, and it would also expose you lovely readers to some of my favourite UK bloggers. Plus, it’s always inspiring to see the many different ways just one piece can be styled.
For this challenge, we were styling Swatch watches. I was given a really manly, chunky gold number, something very different from anything I already have in my wardrobe. But being the fan of menswear-inspired dressing that I am, I was excited to build a masculine but still sexy look around the watch. Some of you may know of my eternal hunt for the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans. Well, I think I’ve finally found the perfect pair! These vintage-inspired ASOS jeans are utterly wearable, with an awesome fit – loose enough, but still form flattering, especially on the bum – and I love the ripped details. I’ve barely taken them off since I got them. To the watch and jeans, I added a cool net jumper (with a bandeau top underneath as it’s pretty revealing!), heels to keep the outfit feminine, and my new favourite bag, the studded Georgia from Label MB.
Anyway girls, I’ve rambled on long enough! I really hope you like my outfit and are as excited as me to see more of the Take 10 challenges. Make sure you check out the other girls’ blogs too to see all the different ways you can style a Swatch x

You did it super well! And what a fun challenge, it’s really interesting to see how the same piece can be used so differently!
