Now we’re in Autumn, Burgundy seems to be the ‘in colour’ at the moment so I thought that I would do a Pinterest edit on it!
You can find my Pinterest page here for more boards and pins.
Good afternoon! I’m sat here on Tuesday afternoon trying to think about a regular post that I can do on my blog. Seeing as I’m a Visual Merchandiser, I put outfits together on a daily basis so I thought that I would start doing ‘Ways to Wear’ blog posts. Obviously this is all to my taste and I understand that they won’t be to yours but even if it gives you a little inspiration, my job is done 😉.
I’m not sure if you guys have noticed but clothing shops are gradually filling their shelves with yellow/mustard which might give hints that this is the growing colour for the next season (which I can understand because mustard and yellow give me autumn vibes). Mustard/Yellow may scare some people as it’s such a bold colour but I think it looks beautiful on and personally for me, it is the best colour to work with.
Today, I have searched the highstreet brands and put an outfit together just from their website! I like a little challenge 😉
Lets start with Missguided. The key piece of this outfit is the mustard faux suede biker jacket (obviously). I love jackets in mustard whether that’s a biker jacket, a leather jacket, puffa jacket .. The list goes on. It’s a statement piece and makes your outfit go POP haha! The jacket is a zip up jacket and also has a buckle belt around the waist but personally, I prefer the jacket left open. The jacket is for sale at £35.00.
Missguided themselves have dressed the jacket with a rock graphic tee and a black denim ripped hem short. I changed the denim shorts to a pair with more rips in just to give it more of a rock-chick look. The shorts are £25.00 and the top is £18.00.
Next up is River Island. I chose the beautiful yellow floral blouse that has a frill sleeve. Clothes, especially tops with a frill detail are very IN at the moment and the peplum finish on the top makes it extra special. The top is £30.00.
I choose to lighten the outfit up with a pair of bright blue jeans. I didn’t want to go over the top with rips but I didn’t want the denim to be boring either so I chose to go with a distressed pair. These jeans are called Amelie, they are a super skinny fit and are £42.00.
When choosing accessories for an outfit, I like to look at the key colours in the main item which in this case, would be the top. I didn’t want to go over the top with the yellow so I chose a hot pink. Slingback shoes are making a popular re-appearance and I feel that they make an outfit look classy. If you didn’t want to wear pink shoes with the outfit, you can wear pink elsewhere like in your ears. You may not want to wear these exact ear-rings with the outfit as it could be seen as too much but they are cute 😉. The shoes are £36.00 and the ear-rings are £8.00.
Boohoo are amazing for Co-ords (I actually previously blogged about it here) so I thought that I would show you their amazing frill detailed yellow co-ord. This set is quite daring so I thought I would show you what other top you could wear the trousers with incase the co-ord doesn’t tickle your fancy 😉. I chose a white bardot crop top with a peplum frill detail as I feel like a crop top would look best with these trousers however, you could always make it look more wintery with a plain roll neck if you don’t want to get cold.. I know what this British weather is like haha! The trousers are £18.00, the matching top is £15.00 and the white bardot top is £12.00.
As you all know, I’m quite a sporty-chic myself so of course, I would choose to wear trainers with this outfit. But if you’re feeling more dressy, you can wear barely there heel shoes. The trainers are £15.00.
I absolutely love this top from MissPap!! The frill sleeves and ruffle style just works for me! I have dressed this top with black jeans that have a cross tie effect which have become very popular recently! As the top is a WOW piece itself, you may chose to dress it with just a plain pair of black jeans – I just thought that I would show you something a little different. The top is £25.00 and the jeans are £35.00.
Next up is accessories. If you’re wearing all black or feel like an outfit needs spicing up, why not accessorize with a pop of colour! Tassle ear-rings and cross body bags are becoming very trendy at the moment and it’s a trend I’m liking 😉.
Topshop cross body bag is £25.00 and the suede shoes are £35.00 in the sale.
River Island tassle ear-rings are £10.00 and the quilted bag is £32.00
Asos floral clutch bag is £30.00 and the ear-rings are £26.00
