Stripes and Plaid

-


I decided to mix it up a little and clash the stripes and plaid with today's outfit, why the heck not eh?!
I wasn't too sure about this look at first but I think the burgundy in the shirt really works with the stripes. I mean you see people wearing tartan scarfs with practically every outfit so why not try plaid shirts?
I bought this shirt from a store in my town called Store Twenty One, which has the BEST home range ever! It also sells really nice shirts as I found out when I picked this one up for £5! I couldn't believe it myself. Although it is a male shirt I thought no one will ever know?! .. Until now I guess.
Underneath I'm wearing my striped tunic dress from Topshop, which I've mentioned in previous posts. This is a lovely thick tunic with three quarter length sleeves, which is perfect for the Spring weather as it's still snug to wear in the chilly winds yet not stuffy and hot.
I then wore a silver necklace from Primark just for added detail and a little final touch! I also wore 40 denier tights as well as plain black boots.

I wanted to focus on Esprit for this blog post as I feel that I came across a variety of different styles, fabrics and silhouettes that can surely compliment every body shape and be the 'perfect' outerwear piece for someone's wardrobe. These three coats were my top picks and are very neutral in colour but with different cuts and shapes to them to create a more formal finish or casual depending on your personal choice. The first jacket I tried was an Aviator style jacket and is one of my all time favourite types of jacket. It's thick, cosy and com…

Something A Little Different..

This is a little something that I wanted to try with my blog (bit of trial and error!) and just experiment with different blogging styles and ideas. Whilst I was wondering about the town and shops I discovered that there are quite a few hidden gems in the form of smaller named brands, hidden away in our department stores. I then decided to whip out my iPhone to take a couple of outfit shots to blog about later on! Usually, I'll openly admit that I scan past these brands and scurry off to the comfort of my usual places of shop but today I thought I'd step out of my bubble and actually explore the different styles, patterns and colours that these brands have to offer.  Esprit is a company I've heard of before and never been able to pronounce without correction! As they are situated right next door to Warehouse I thought they would be a perfect choice to begin my browsing as they're displays were bold in colour, simple and yet eye catching. I'm a massive shirt fan, mahoo…
