Plaid In the City

Plaid skirts are an essential part of my fall/winter wardrobe. I've been collecting them for years and I'm always looking for new colours to add to my collection. This particular skirt is red, black, blue and white so I decided to pair it with this black mock neck shirt from H&M. To add a little interest to the outfit I opted for some red tights which i actually haven't worn in soooo long. I used to wear coloured tights all the time and I started to slowly stray away from them... until this year ! I think its a fun way to add some colour to your outfit. To bring the red back around I topped the look off with a red beret ! I also wore a pair of black heels. let me know what you think of this outfit in the comments below 

White Flowers

I've been waiting for the fall to arrive so that I could finally wear this jacket ! It's honestly STUNNING!  I love the white flower print over the camel coloured suede. I got this coat from El Corte Ingles, the brand is Amite and ahh you guys I am actually obsessed with it ! I wore it over this ruffly knit dress from Zara, its so cozy and warm so its perfect for this time of year. As for shoes I just opted for a pair of dark nude heels to give myself  a little lift. But the main focus is definitely the coat. Let me know what you guys think of this look in the comments below!

Falling for Orange

I've found this love for the colour orange over the past year, I've talked about this on my blog before because I've never understood why everyone hates on orange. Even when walking around the mall you wont find a big selection of orange clothes, which I find really odd.  For me personally red is my favourite colour to wear, but orange is a close second. I can acknowledge that people are slowly starting to wear more colour than they have in the past few years. There was a point where everyone walked around like they are at a funeral, black clothes everywhere. I've never been one of those people I've always loved colour and constantly obsessed with matching my outfit perfectly! Something I inherited from my mom and grandmother, I feel like its something that people valued a lot before. In 2018 you have a bit more freedom with clothes and colour combinations, Where as a few decades ago everything had to perfectly match (Think of the 50's-60's) While that may be a little limiting, I find it really fun!  I feel proud when I made the right colour combinations to perfectly match an outfit... its like solving a puzzle ! For this particular outfit, I pulled the orange from the plaid on the overalls and but also wanted to add some interest so I layered the sweater over a white button up shirt (Again pulling white from the plaid overalls.) I also added some white knee high tights for extra warmth. But I think my favourite touch to the outfit are the saddle shoes... I have been looking for saddle shoes for SOO long ! They are the perfect shoes for the fall, pretty much matching everything ! let me know what you guys think of this look in the comments below ! 

Blue Velvet

I've never been a huge fan of velvet, I'm not really sure why it just never drew me in. That is until I found this beautiful royal blue crushed velvet dress! The colour is stunning, and of course super on trend right now because its a jewel tone. I got this dress from Pull and Bear and and didn't think much of it seeing as its a plain dress... that is until I layered it over a white button up shirt! It completely transformed it into the perfect retro look. I've actually had this button up shirt for a while (It used to belong to my mom) I lucked out that it had oversized cuffs because it added the perfect finishing touch. For my shoes I had to wear my favourite white boots, you guys have seen these numerous times because they are my favourite shoes!  let me know what you think of the look in the comments below ! 

Long Plaid Skirt

With Falls arrival I pulled out all of my long wool plaid skirts. As you may remember from last winter I got a little obsessed with finding all of these amazing plaid skirt from the 50's/60's. But didn't really get a chance to wear them, this year I am committed to  wearing all of them because I think they are stunning and something not a lot of people wear these days. This particular skirt is from Value Village, since its not technically a  vintage store I'm not sure exactly what time period its from (Could be new for all I know) but it does look like something out of the early 60's. The first thing that went into my mind when I saw it was Burberry due to its iconic print, but its not (Unfortunately) none the less I still love the look and its something you can wear with numerous colours!  I opted for a thin white knit sweater and some red slingback shoes.  I love the small block heel I think its very fitting with the rest of the outfit. To give it that 1950's school girl vibe I added a ribbon to my hair which I think tied the whole look together!  Let me know that you think of this look in the comments below!
