This is a highly random post, moreso because I need to get more into the habit of placing my outfits on the blog, rather than on my instagram.

I always seem to wake up , put together an outfit on the spot, go about my day and realise after maybe posting it on instagram that the outfit was probably blog-worthy.

Sigh.

Right, with that off my chest, let’s get straight to it.

This OOTD is just me taking a class Little Black Dress (LBD) and giving it yet again a more street chic look. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Teyana Taylor and ever so recently Miley Cyrus have given feminine outfits the seal of approval when it comes to being able to masculinize it in some way. I’ve managed to achieve this by wearing my favourite Baseball Cap and pairing it off with my vintage oversized Military/Camoflage Jacket.

#StyleHowTos … Three ways to get the look

Now this look is all about embracing feminiity albeit in a subtle way. This outfit would be perfect for casual drinks or meet ups after work or university. Sometimes a girl just want’s to wear heels but maybe not have to wear a skirt or dress to complete the ’ girly criteria ‘. 

So with the striped trousers, I teamed it up with this amazingly soft Angora Jumper I bought from H&M reduced from £50 to £20 ( YES MY SON!! ). What I love about this jumper is not only the soft feel and texture it embraces, but how vibrant it is, perfect for injecting some colour into the monochrome base.

Also teamed up with some simple gold accessories, also from H&M, I’d swap my backpack for a tote and head down to Soho for a Martini!!!… actually a Tequila because it’s quicker ;)
