With the unseasonably glorious weather of last week now a distant memory, I wanted to share a recent favourite winter look of mine, before the weather warms again and we are thrown into the arms of spring. I must admit, I am getting a bit tired of winter dressing now but this is exactly the kind of outfit I know I will miss wearing when the winter finally ends.
This look came together with ease thanks to a couple of clever, new purchases. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; any new purchases I make these days are always extremely well considered, due to a gap I’ve noticed in my wardrobe and to enable pieces I own that I feel “stuck” with, styling wise, to shine.
I recently picked up some new coloured tights from Calzedonia. Having almost exclusively experimented with wearing burgundy tights over the past couple of winters, I wanted to try some new colours, in particularly white. White tights are such a classic 60s look, which of course I love, but I’ve often wondered if they were a bit difficult to wear. Inspired by Hanna Steffanson and some other Scandi gals on Instagram, I gave this off-white pair a go. They are a much softer pairing for this yellow 60s mini skirt and invited the rest of this tonal outfit with ease.
The white knit is a new purchase from & Other Stories. I had been searching for the perfect white cropped turtleneck jumper all winter so when I got a Stories voucher for my birthday and spied this one on their website a few days later, it was a no brainer. I have worn it so much and it has given a new lease of life to many trousers and skirts in my wardrobe.
Finally, let me introduce you to my new favourite boots from Miista, a brand that I’ve lusted after for a while so when they brought out my dream 70s-inspired boots, I treated myself for my birthday. With the majority of my boots collection being black and ankle length, I knew these caramel tan ones would offer lots of new styling options, especially with their mid-calf length too. They look equally good poking out the bottom of my various 70s flares as they do worn in full glory as I have here.
I finished off the look with my beloved yellow coat, which is probably the piece I get excited about the most wearing in winter. I absolutely love the colour yellow and have absolutely no qualms with wearing the hue twice in one outfit. None whatsoever.
For accessories, I wore my burgundy Coach bag whose rich colour pairs well with that of the boots and contrasts in a way which I’ve discussed before, with the yellow shades. Lastly, when the winter winds picked up, I added this faux fur leopard print hat that I’ve had for years and years. I haven’t worn it ages because I wasn’t sure of its shape but with the resurgence of the bucket hat last summer, I’ve begun to see it in a new light – it’s like a faux fur bucket hat! How wonderful and perfect for hiding under during the long winter.
I hope you’ve liked this post – not only is this one of my favourite outfits of the season these are some of my favourite photos too! X
