Style File: Winter blues
The sun has gone; the leaves are falling, and the temperature has dropped dramatically… but you know me, any opportunity to get my legs out and sport killer heels! This was supposed to be a birthday post, however, it didn’t work out that way. I put this ensemble together in remembrance of my birthday.
I chose this dress (that a mate of mine left at my house–thanks Mel… Ha!) because it is flirty and fun; I am all for that! It is short for winter though, so I threw this long blue coat over the top to give it balance. I picked this coat up from a thrift sale early this year for just £1! Yes that is right only £1… I am in love with it. I love coats with collars I can turn up; I have a thing about feeling badass, and turned-up collar adds an edge to any outfit. The massive pockets (along with the price) is what sold it for me with this coat.
So what makes this a post in remembrance of my birthday? First, the dress! My mate wore this to my all white winter wonderland themed birthday party. Granted it's cream, but that is ok, it worked for her then and it's working for me now… hehe. Secondly the hair… this is the new style i had done by my amazing hair stylist Kevin, for my special day. Thirdly, the jewellery… One of my sisters gifted me them as a birthday present. She has an amazing online jewellery store called CherryOnDTop; make sure you check it out, the pieces are stunning. Last but not least, this is in honour of my shoes! They were for my second birthday outfit, but they turned up late smh (shaking my head), so I had to find an alternative for the night. They are here now and I love them so much I have forgiven the web giants.
With another year added to my life, I can see my style has evolved… Stay tuned with me on my journey to stylish freedom. ’Style over fashion’ I chant, as I search for timeless pieces to add to my wardrobe. Until next time my beauties!
