. FEMININE LEATHER .
Every now and then I team together some understated wardrobe staples with minimal thought & seem to create a look that I then just fall utterly in love with. Each item transforming the combined items into a fab outfit. This doesn’t happen everyday sadly, and naturally never when I actually try or need to create a really great outfit. This look is something I pulled together last weekend for a low key day pottering around Richmond.
My leather trousers are a fail safe bottom half for me, on those days when I don’t fancy wearing a fancy skirt or feminine dress I often opt for my leather trousers. They feel slightly dressier than jeans but still offer the comfort and lack of effort i’m looking for. An oversized jumper is my natural companion for leather trousers, I love how a big knit can downplay any garment into something far more laid back than it might otherwise be. This Monki jumper is always my go to jumper when I’m looking for comfort & a laid back style. But I have to say it’s the bold colour poppin’ accessories that make this outfit in my opinion. My Reiss pink coat & my Topshop fur bag seem to transform this outfit into something I usually admire other fashion bloggers wearing (that effortless parisian style of dressing). There’s definitely something in the understated outfit with overstated accessories. It’s a new kinda thing for me, but I have to say I like it.
What do you think of this look & the contrast between the simple outfit with bold accessories?

Beautiful! My favourite thing is the way your lipstick goes so well with the coat even if they’re not the exact same shade.
