EFFORTFUL EFFORTLESS

. OVERSIZED VS UBER FEMININE .

Sometimes I feel really inspired when blogging to try an outfit I wouldn’t instantly throw on, or to try a combination of items which don’t naturally come together in my mind, to push my style slightly out of my ‘day to day’ comfort zone. Often i’m inspired by seeing how other bloggers or celebrities pull together outfits, or how magazines feature looks or even how people on the street are styling their clothes.

Throwing on a simple oversized white shirt over a bold, A-line, super feminine mini skirt isn’t necessarily an outfit combination that I would naturally pick out of my wardrobe and throw on. It’s not a style I frequently sport, but it’s actually one I came to realise I often admire and take inspiration from. I’m forever wishing I could pull off a more effortless style, and spend hours pinning looks of other fashionista’s sporting the look to perfection, so I decided it was about time I tried to channel the style myself.

A pink mini skirt is statement enough, so rather than team it with a chic & delicate camisole like I might normally, I decided to throw on my new Topshop shirt and channel a more ‘effortless’ look to see how it worked on me. The finishing touches were my Keepsake sandals & my Nano, and overall I absolutely loved the combination. Oversized and understated, it’s a look I am always aspiring towards and one that once I gave it ago, I was totally sold on.
