What I'm Wearing - Beanie + Monochrome
|
25.3.13
 |
| 1. Beanie - old H&M 2. Jacket - Next 3. Dress - old All Saints 4. Tights - Hose |
Damn, it's cold outside. Which is why I finally pulled down a zip-lock bag from on top of the wardrobe full of packed-away woolly lovelies, including last year's beanie (no, not neon, that would have made me a total A+ trendsetter) in grey. I can't quite bring myself to jump fully on the blogger beanie bandwagon and go flouro so I'm quite happy to stick with grey, thankyou. This is the start of a few beanie based outfit posts styling up the smurfette look (beanies kinda make us look like Smurfs, don't you think?) with neutrals. Part of a project to make me realise how many perfectly worthwhile neutrals I currently have in my wardrobe and to plan a few spring-while-it's-still nippy outfits. This first one is a bit of a monochrome party look with an old All Saints dress and Next leather jacket. The cracked white booties are old faves from a shop on Exmouth Market I think, and the hand screen printed tights, you've seen these recently, are from Hose.
Supporting Comic Relief - 50 Ways To Wear #RNDTEE

Just in the nick of time! It's Red Nose tomorrow, folks. So good to see all the blogger support going round – headed up by the super Mademoiselle Robot (also check out the lovely What Oliva Did and Toni from Fashion Your Seatbelts with the Lulu Guinness for Sainburies shopper). You might have already seen the Stella McCartney for TK Maxx t-shirts – the Fairtrade organic cotton is sourced from co-operatives in Mali, manufactured in Africa and all profit goes to Comic Relief. Here's my styling of the Stella McCartney Kate Moss design – a nod to monochrome plus bright florals. It was hard to choose between the Marilyn Monroe and The Beatles t-shirts, but in the end I opted for La Moss as it's actually a tank. If you've bought a RND t-shirt, make sure you upload a pic of yourself wearing it to the TK Maxx 50 Ways To Wear It app either on Facebook or on your phone, it's all synced up – £1 donated to Comic Relief for every photo uploaded. If you do, let me know in the comments!
#NextGuestBlogger - My Second Outfit Post - Monochrome & Camo
|
11.3.13
For my second #nextguestblogger post I decided to work two Spring Summer 2013 trends – first off, monochrome proper (my last post was a softened version). Probably one of the biggest trends doing the rounds at the moment, you'll have seen monochrome on practically every top blogger during fashion week. And second, a trend I've seen bubbling up on quite a few blogs, especially in the US – camouflage, or camo. Christopher Kane breathed fresh life into camo with his blue shades take for AW13, so this is definitely a trend that will have a long life. So, the outfit – I chose some pretty classic pieces, black skinnies (rolled up to show a bit of ankle), a perfect pair of pointy-toed courts (I realised my wardrobe was severely lacking without a pair) and a long white collarless shirt (ideal for dressing up trouser and top outfits). The exciting pieces of this outfit are, of course, the cute camo jacket, which, you may have noticed, I chose to shoulder-robe in homage to the fashion week peacocks (actually shoulder-robing is something I've seen Italians – I'm half Italian btw! – do for many years) and the quite fabulous laser-cut iPad clutch. I really like how the clutch and heels turn what could be a very casual outfit into something verging on the glamorous. Teaming monochrome with a carefully chosen print or bright colour is a easy way to make a statement this spring and one I'm going to be doing again and again. What do you think? Do you like the outfit? Have you been wearing monochrome? And how do you feel about camo?
ps. All these pieces also come in Petite, which is what I'm wearing. I sized the shirt up to give a bigger shape and brightened up with a dash of red lippy.
pps. You can see my first #nextguestblogger post on the Next blog here and this one here.
