Hey everyone,
I hope you’re all well and are having a good week so far. I’m still mourning the end of the last weekend – one of my best friends got married and threw a spectacular festival style wedding on Saturday. The weather was perfect, I wore a dreamy Rixo star-print dress and I got to catch up with some friends I hadn’t seen in a while. All in all, the perfect weekend.
Today, I’m sharing a look that I wore a few weeks back, just as the weather was turning autumnal. I’m really enjoying all the AW18 trends; from seventies feels and cord to animal print and checks; I just love this time of year. Although I don’t follow trends religiously (I often just wear what I feel like), I do observe them and one that I find myself doing naturally, is unusual colour combinations.
JEANS: & OTHER STORIES | T-SHIRT: VINTAGE | JACKET: THE WHITE COMPANY (old) | BAG: c/o COACH | SHOES: VINTAGE CHANEL
Green and pink; lilac and brown; yellow and burgundy, colour combinations like this shouldn’t work…but they do. I love trying out new colour combinations and while I first tried out yellow and burgundy last autumn with my yellow coat, here I am at it again.
I planned this look specifically around wanting to wear these awesome yellow & Other Stories Jeans and my trusty burgundy Coach saddle bag. These jeans are the same shape as the blue pair I wrote about in last week’s blog post, yet they’re a wonderful yellow/mustard hue. Similarly to my reasons behind buying the blue pair (read the Denim Debate post), I knew having a yellow pair of jeans would open up styling possibilities in my wardrobe. I was right – I’ve worn them loads in the past few weeks and have many more styling ideas as we move through the season.
I paired the jeans with this 70s cream ribbed tee with beautiful burgundy embroidery and hem details that go so perfectly with the bag and jeans, both in colour and style. I finished the look with my beloved leather jacket – I’m fully making the most of leather jacket season while I can – and my vintage Chanel loafers.
Ok yes, so just a quick note on these shoes as I haven’t featured them before! I got them for a bargain price at my last vintage job and I absolutely love them. I’m still breaking them in – boy they hurt after a few hours wear – but I know they’ll be totally worth it.
What unusual colour combinations have you been trying recently? I am very keen to try purple and yellow but I don’t have much purple in my wardrobe! Burgundy and pink is also a great colour clash and I love orange and green. X
