COLOURED MONOCHROME
jumper: French Connection | skirt: Topshop | boots: Jones | bag, belt + scarf: c/o New Look
Earlier this week, New Look – one of my favourite high street stores for great, affordable fashion – sent me over three key winter accessories and challenged me to style them up as best I could. As someone who usually keeps accessories to a minimum, this was a great challenge to push me a little further, and personally I’m so happy with the result! Starting with the pleather backpack, which has such a cool, edgy vibe, I went for an easy urban outfit that still has a touch of elegance to it. I usually don’t wear chunky belts, but I love the way it ties together the whole outfit here. The silky, feminine scarf also helps keep the look sophisticated, and the soft colours are just beautiful. I’ve always been a huge fan of their shoes, and New Look party dresses are always gorgeous too, but now I’ll be keeping my eye on their other accessories too.
When we took these snaps I was also so excited to finally share my quilted Topshop faux leather skirt with you girls too. As soon as I saw it, I knew it’d be a staple for my winter wardrobe. You’ve probably seen it around on other bloggers and on the streets as it’s super popular. As with most Topshop things, it’s a touch pricey (£40), but their quality is always reliable and you know you’ll be getting a lot of wear from their pieces. It’s short enough to wear in summer with cropped tees and Converse, so hello value for money. There’s a white version too, which is amazing, but I’d be too scared of getting it dirty to ever wear it!
Hope you’re all having a good Monday so far sweeties! Post again soon 🙂 x
