BLOCK:COLOUR:DAYS

Although blogging is one of my favorite past times it is slowly becoming apparent that its not as easy as it seems. There are some days where I have chosen an outfit to wear which I think is just spectacular but when it comes to viewing the pictures it looks more like a spectacle. its definitely not so glamorous when you walk into a tree or end up looking like the Michelin man after attempting to layer.

 

Sunday was such a day. I tried on a series of different outfits that had me looking like a colour confused clown coming back from the circus. 
Just not a good look. 

There are also days when after destroying you wardrobe you try on the last two items not angrily thrown on the floor and the outfit actually works.
 

Onto today's post.

             

The last few years, the fashion industry has focused heavily on colour blocking, prints and elaborate patterns but honestly there are some days where simplicity is golden. 

The two items worn in today's post were bought at least two years apart. The H&M shirt from the most recent season and the oasis trousers from three or four years ago. This is prime example of purchasing pieces that transcend the short term trends that seem to pop up every season. 

 

 

Shirt: H&M, Trousers: Oasis, Shoes: Next, Jewellery: Dorothy Perkins & Topshop

Like everything in life there is a natural evolution, a change in what you like or dislike. Invest in pieces that are chic, classic, well tailored and well made.
Most of all stay true to yourself, people won't like always like what you wear or appreciate the things you do.
Be comfortable, Be you.

Until Next Time

Parking Lot Vogue

 

There are just some days in life when you drive to a car park (parking lot) and just have a photo shoot. Granted anyone present will think you've divorced your brain but hey, any opportunity for a selfie.

 

Unto today's post......

 

There are just some items in your wardrobe that can transform any outfit. For example, the top and blazer worn in this post were paired with a pair of navy blue to Topshop jeans and H&M flats the previous day.

Yes I wore the outfit twice and yes I'm not sorry. Like chicken sometimes an outfit needs more than one day to marinate.

 

Blazer & Trousers: H&M, Shoes: Zara, Top: Dorothy Perkins, Earrings: Topshop,

Lipstick: MAC Darkside

 

As I was saying, the simple addition of these printed H&M trousers (on sale of course) and Zara strappy sandals instantly transforms an otherwise understated outfit.

I must warn you though as nice as the Zara heels look after about two hours you'll feel like relocating them into the nearest incinerator. The pain is real.

 

 

I received these shoes as a graduation present and as per usual decided it would be a good idea to wear them for the day.

However I ended up waddling onto the stage for the customary graduation handshake like a drunk penguin.

Not a good look at all.

Whoever said fashion is pain needs to re-examine their wardrobe.

Fashion doesn't warrant possibly losing the feeling in your feet.

 

Wish you a wonderful and blessed week wherever you are.

Until next time
