Colour Pop

These photos were a real struggle to capture. My smiles are actually a rather contrived way of trying to disguise the fact that I was getting blown away inbetween most of the shots, english weather is just not cooperative at the moment. It's also making it rather difficult to know how tho dress each day, as I often find myself leaving the house with a coat on only to be faced with glaring sunshine mid-way through the day (or visa versa)!

Business Attire

When it comes to dressing smarter, as in work/meeting appropriate, I find it really difficult to find an appropriate outfit that is both stylish and business-like. My go-to option is usually a. A dress and blazer combination or b. Patterned trousers and a smarter jacket. Both work really well but as I'm more comfortable in trousers, I like to opt for the latter and this is one of the outfits I came up with and actually wore a few weeks ago. 

(Almost) Casual Sundays

You can probably tell from my recent outfits that I'm fully embracing spring by injecting a bit of colour (or a lack of black at least) into my wardrobe through lightweight jackets and tops. This weekend was no exception, the weather was beautiful and so it was only fitting that I wore a somewhat casual, but still very spring-themed outfit. I also seem to be having a moment with waistcoats lately...

Neon Nikes

So normally I'm not a trainer person at all and I used to think they were solely reserved for gym use only. I wear them occasionally but I'm far more comfortable in pointed flats or chelsea boots. That being said, I have been embracing trainers more lately (Nike outlets are a dream!) and I've picked up a few new pairs that I'm sure you'll be seeing on here in the not so distant future. This pair is by far the brightest and most daring pair I've bought but having been after a neon pair of trainers for a while, this this just spoke to me and I had to have them! They are the Nike Free 2's I believe (I'm terrible with names)  and they are the comfiest shoes I own, it feels like walking on cushions and despite them being rather loud in colour, the style itself actually looks great and they really casual up an outfit. 

A Zebra & A Camel?!

The weather is starting to get to the point now where it is just impossible to shoot outfit photos. It's either raining or the wind is that strong that it practically blows me over and all this isn't helped by the fact I live in such an open area making it twice as worse. That being said, I retreated back to my garden and managed to get a few decent shots before the wind showed its ugly face again. Anyway, now onto the outfit...

Camel & Faux Fur

 

I was feeling rather unmotivated at the weekend after a long week at work so the idea of going outside and posing for outfit photos while dog walkers and cars passed by staring was not exactly top of my list! The result was four semi-okay photos along with a forced smile and many awkward squinty faces...

Black Spots & Paint

 

This is probably the most weather appropriate outfit I've ever worn while taking blog photos.
It was absolutely freezing last weekend so this coat was a welcomed rediscovery and one that left me feeling toasty warm - living in the countryside in the winter can be an absolute nightmare so a thick coat is pretty much essential!
