Borrowed From the Boys

A great feature of having this blog is that it has captured my changing style. When I started this blog my style was very much influenced by vintage looks but now and especially in this outfit it's crazy how different it is. Todays look is very much borrowed from the boys with slip on trainers and beanie, something when I started this blog I would never have worn. It makes me wonder what my style will be like this time next year or even 10 years from now, will I still like the minimalist look or will I revert back to a more vintage style... I guess only time will tell.

H&M coat, M&S jumper, GAP jeans, RIVER ISLAND hat, TOPSHOP shoes and DIY clutch.

Tartan

Tartan is one of my favourite trends for A/W 13 but being in a sixth form where all the lower years have to wear a lovely green tartan it is finding pieces which have a more grown up print which doesn't look like I am trying to recreate the uniform. This is why this blouse caught my eye, the tartan printed chiffon is delicate but the contrasting white collar adds a playful edge. It was one of those items I spotted instore and instantly wanted to buy even though I am not usually a huge fan of collars.

I am wearing ZARA blouse and boots and TOPSHOP jeans.
