OOTD: The Ruffle Trend Continues

Hi lovelies, welcome back. If you have read my last post on the ruffle trend then you'll be pleased to see more of that ruffle trend (my latest style obsession) in this post which I hope you enjoy....

 

Autumn is getting closer and I wanted to wear this outfit one last time (I had to share it on the blog) before the cold hits us. Let me know what you guys think of this look and the twist on the typical white shirt dress.

The white shirt dress look has been seen styled by plenty of bloggers however when I saw that this shirt had ruffled sleeves, I knew I had to get my hands on it! To be honest, I never thought I could pull of the white shirt dress  but I love how the ruffle detail made the dress not look so formal ( no collar) and 'dressed down' but still looking chic! I've never been one to dress to make a statement but its minimal look made it easy to pull off. This dress is from Boohoo priced at only £12.00 (CRAZY right?) and the material is surprisingly nice and did not feel cheap AT ALL with the ruffles maintaining their shape. I'm someone who appreciates quality over how much it is and this certainly delivers more than its price which makes it more amazing. I love the contrast between the structured body of the dress and the free flowing ruffle sleeves which works so well.

 

 I decided to add a western style buckle belt from River Island to slightly cinch in at the waist to add some shape to my figure. I love how this buckle pairs perfectly with the dress and adds as an accessory without having to wear heavy jewellery. This belt is so easy to wear and adds an effortless look to the entire outfit.

 

I finished the whole look with these black suede Chelsea boots from H&M (a few years ago) which are timeless and can be worn in any season. These boots are slim and elegant and add sophistication to the entire outfit while being amazingly comfortable to walk around in London.

 

I hope you guys have been inspired by this casual yet stylish look which I've been wearing non-stop and I love how comfortable it is which makes me feel sooo confident! I love this monochrome outfit and I hope you guys try experimenting with this trend. As always please comment below any outfit pieces I would love! x

OOTD: Ruffle Trousers

The sun is out in London for Bank Holiday weekend and what perfect weather for wearing these ruffle trousers which I freaakinggg adore! The ruffle trend has been seen on the catwalk for Spring/ Summer '17 and I am a big fan of this fashion trend. These trousers have a feminine touch as well as being on trend for this season. These trousers are perfect for transitioning from Summer into Autumn as they cover up your legs but still keep you cool with its lightweight material. This can be paired with a sleeveless cami for warmer days or a high-neck tight fitted knit for colder months ahead. At first I was unsure with how the trousers would fit around my hips but I was pleasantly surprised with how nicely they sat on my hips without highlighting any bulges after eating (ladies you know what I talking about) which I'm sure everyone is conscious about. I never usually like wearing trousers but these gorgeous tailored trousers have made me expand my style horizons without it being office-y or boring with the added ruffle...

P.S- Head over to my instagram to see where I shot this look which matches my outfit! 💗💗

 I paired the trousers with a white cropped top from River Island (I'll link similar ones below) which  revealed enough of my upper midriff for me to still feel comfortable in and not feel super conscious. The cut of the top was flattering as well as keeping it simple to show off the detail of the trousers. I kept the jewellery very simple too, as the ruffle detail on the pockets and hem of the trousers act as an accessory already (bonus) and makes the outfit more casual for the daytime.

 

Also these trousers are cropped which means they are perrrfectt for showing off these classy pink heels. I got these shoes a few years ago from H&M which means I can't find the exact pair but I will link similar items below. These shoes are the epitome of class and being feminine (my two favourite words) without them being too office-y for my liking. The heel is not too high which means they were comfy enough to walk through the streets of London. The soft suede material, pointed toe and the heel brings sophistication to the whole outfit and ahhh I just obsessed with this whole look!

 

I hope you guys have enjoyed reading this blog. Please leave me comments on what you want to see on this blog as well as any other items which you think I may love!  x
