I have slowly come to realise that personal style is not a
fixed things. Its such a flexible yet intangible thing and when trends come
about, you just gravitate towards a variety of different things. I am
constantly changing my wardrobe and falling in and out of love of different
things or wanting to experiment with more than my jeans and a t shirt.
Today I thought I would share with you some new things I
have added to my wardrobe from things I thought I was missing to some
experimental pieces to some key pieces for winter.
Adidas campus trainers
I haven’t had just black and white trainers that I have
wanted to wear in a long time and these just ticked all the boxes. Something
that didn’t make my feet look bigger than they already are, comfort and work
with both jeans, trousers and skirts and dresses; an all rounder shoe if you
will.
Branded t shirt
I got this long sleeve north face t shirt and I contemplated
returning it but since I got it, I haven’t stopped wearing it. It’s a really
great layering piece as well as a basic to go with jeans and trousers. And
because it is long sleeved, it is great for the winter months. I recommend this
particularly if you are not the biggest fan of branding as most of it is at the
back and with it being layering season, most people won’t see it
Trousers
You know what, jeans are really fucking uncomfortable.
That’s right I said it. But I definitely go in phases with them. And when I
bought these, I hated jeans with a passion. These maroon trousers were spurred
on but the fact that I want a maroon 2-piece suit but I found these trousers at
an M&S outlet and I couldn’t be happier. Really great quality and colouring
and a dose of something other than black
I also bought those classic stripe down the side pair and I
have been on the hunt for them for the longest time and I found the perfect
ones from new look via ASOS. The perfect colouring, a little high waisted and
fits like a peg leg style trouser.
A beret
I used to wear berets all the time. For some reason I don’t
feel like this is working for me but as it was discounted, I wanted to give it
a try. Plus, it is actually cold, so I need to start wrapping up a bit better.
I have gotten into accessorising again and I thought this was a good trend
piece to include. Now that I think about it, have berets really ever gone out
of fashion?
The LBD
Oddly enough, I don’t have a basic black dress in my
wardrobe. I must have thrown them out. As its time for me to start looking for
jobs and going to interviews, this paired with a blazer was an essential. I picked
this up in Zara for less than £20! Can you believe it?
Check it out
A don’t wear a lot of skirts but I saw this on Instagram and I knew I had to have it. I was sceptical because these things are just so darn short, but they had this one in the tall section and as I tried it on, I knew it was coming home with me. It just fit like a glove and hugged in all the right places. It also allowed me mobility as I hate skirts that are too tight. This one was from Topshop and with student discount, how could I say no?
Love is love
When I saw this on the Instagram page, I kind of kept going
back to it but I rainbow strip fluted sleeve jumper. Need I say more? There was
something about it that just said you need this. It’s a lovely medium knit
(does that make sense?) jumper great not only for layering but tucking into a
skirt or trousers.
Tell me some things you have added in to your wardrobe or
things I should check out.
