Sassy Red Coat

Hello to my fellow fashionistas,

 I hope you're enjoying my two latest blog posts as I am loving blogging again. It has brought out this light in me that I haven't seen for a few years while being away from home and my lovely photographer my mum. I was going to give a go at styling some Valentines themed outfits for you but unfortunately, after months of dodging ever flu going I have finally come down with something. So alas I may have to post some date night outfits after Valentines.

So this coat I ummed and could not decide whether to keep it or not just because of how bright it was and it is a tiny bit big. However the sass literally oozes out of me when I am wearing it, I love that it's a true red colour and I may have had a slight obsession with PVC... like we all did right. I waited months for this coat to come down in price and when it finally was in the ASOS sale I went to buy it but they had no size eights so I took a gamble after wanting it for so long and went for the size ten. I don't regret ordering the size ten as I LOVE this coat more than life. However, it is a tad big around the waist and I have to fully pull the belt into an inch of my life to cinch my waist in.

Who would have thought that I could turn a sassy coat into an extravagantly saucy outfit by pairing it with an equally as overbold flared trousers and matching bell sleeved jumper?  The trousers were a Christmas present as was the jumper, The jumper is cropped but it's perfect for wearing with anything high waisted. The trousers were definitely a bit out there for me, but I thought if you can't blog an outfit that can be seen from out of space then when can you? I will try to find all the links for the items but I know the t-shirt I wore was a Missguided sale purchase.  

Here is some 70's inspiration which is where I got inspiration for this outfit, bell sleeves, flared trousers and leather coats.

Anyway on to the outfit deets!

So being a string bean, a tall lanky thing I find it so hard to find trousers that don't look like ankle swingers! HOWEVER alas I have found that these trousers and pretty little thing have flared trousers that always fit me perfectly in the length. I am 5 ft 10 and a half and most my length is my long legs so you can see the problem I have.

Autumn Missguided Wishlist

So all I can say is Miss-guided is so on point with all their new autumn/winter stock, here are just a few bits that I am currently lusting after!  

Antonina Knitted Funnel Neck Crop Jumper Dark Grey

I love the grey knitted pattern of this jumper, I also love the crop as they look perfect paired with high waisted trousers/skirts and we all know how I love my garments to be highwaisted. A perfect item to help me go from my bright summer clothes to the darker fall wardrobe I so desperately desire.

Miliana Black Rib Knit Crop Top

A key piece for autumn/winter a plain black cropped knitted long sleeved jumper. 

Catriona Loop Knit Shrug Cardigan Burgundy

Not only do I love the crimson blood red colour of this shaggy knitted jacket but I also love the texture of the jacket, it would look perfect paired with all black or even my new favourite colour for autumn khaki. 

Alanis Faux Leather Asymmetric Zip Skirt Khaki

Everyone loves leather for winter so why not combine three amazing things; the asymmetric hem, leather and khaki to create this beautiful key fall piece. This can be easily dressed up with a sheer crop top or dressed down with knee boots and a chunky knit.

Elania Long Sleeve Ribbed Jersey Crop Top Khaki + matching skirt

Beautiful knitted coordinate.

Skort that dreams are made of

So can I just say how amazingly, beautifully perfect is this skort though! This really is a skort made of dreams, my dreams. Its my favourite green colour and floral which makes it just AMAZING. This is by far in my top 5 best buys of this year.

Outfit Details

Skort - ILWF (in love with fashion )

Jumper - TKMAX

Earrings and Necklace - My Own

Bag - Primark 

Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

So how do I even start to explain this outfit, basically the whole outfit is based from the colours of the floral pattern of the skort. So the green of the roses matched the jumper perfectly, oh so perfectly! Next I took the turquoise hue from the print and matched it to my own necklace and earrings, last but not least I wanted to pick out the peachy tones of the skort by wearing my pink peep toe mid heeled sandals and my ever so handy and slightly overused peach bag from Primark.

Blending in with the Green

Feeling a little clueless.. 

So In this outfit I am slowly thinking of autumn/winter and how my wardrobe will change through those seasons. I will definitely be investing in more tartan skirts as I have seen many around which makes me even more excited! Tartan is one of my favourite trends as it was last year however this year it seems to be more traditional tartan with skirts that look more like kilts. 

So onto the outfit! it was a spur of the moment buy from TKMAXX as I only went in to buy a bag for uni. So first ill talk about my amazing new beautiful bag. The bag is big, well big enough for me anyway I prefer bags of this size rather than massive shopper bags as I fill it up too much and get a shoulder ache. So the bag is a black patent material and has a cute frill cut into the flap on the front of the bag. It was under £40.00 which made me very happy. So the jumper I saw immediately as its NEON! but the skirt I saw and just fell inlove! I had to get it even though they only had it in a size ten which, yes means it is a bit big around the waist. I went to go pay for everything and remembered the neon jumper and how perfectly they would go together. About ten minutes later and I had my first outfit for uni sorted, I also thought how it may be colder up in Birmingham so paired this preppy look with some black over the knee socks and cut out shoes.

You can see what I mean by blending in with the green...
