Animal Print & Metallics

Hey guys,

I've got something a little different for you in this post... a casual outfit! Yes! I know!! lol. I wore this to accompany my bother as he went shopping at his favourite store... the PUMA store! 

Actually this is how I mostly dress during the week...comfortable, but still try and keep it chic and cute. 

So I created this look around the metallic brogues that my bff got me for my birthday. I love menswear inspired pieces, especially brogues and oxfords...throw on a blazer and thats usually me Monday to Friday. I decided to pair the shoes with my new favourite skinny jeans and a leopard print shirt. Threw on a fedora, some gold chains and my tortoise shell sunglasses, and it pretty much completed the look. 

OUTFIT: Shirt: Yesfor (here) || Rockstar Jeans: Old Navy (here) || Brogues: Gift || Bag: Chanel || Necklaces: Ebay || Armcandy (here) & (here) Watch: MK || Hat: Ebay (here) || Sunglasses: Sportsgirl

Navy Blue Monochrome

Hey beautiful people! 

So there's something about structured shoulders that really appeals to me, and for that reason, this peplum top is one of my favourites. Not only do I love the cut of the top, but I also love the stencil detail on the the front and back, the exposed zip detail, and that its navy blue, (which is a color I don't own alot of). I decided to create a monochrome look by pairing it with dark, navy, skinny jeans from Old Navy. These are the Rockstar jeans (in petite), and are the only jeans I wear! They are perfect! The fit, the length, the inseam, they stretch, and it flatters my waist to hips ratio! I can honestly say that I enjoy wearing jeans again because of these particular ones! For my accessories, I decided on my navy blue perspex clutch and this statement pearl choker, (very similar to the Zara one) which has become a popular accessory piece amongst style bloggers. I got mine from Ebay though for next to nothing! To complete the look, I had to add a pop of color, so I wore my neon yellow heels, which i think complimented the navy blue quite nicely!
