Style finder look #5

Who said monochrome had to be boring? (Not me)

Technically it's not black and white with the daring canary yellow blazer. It would work well with a white one also. It's a very retro look that any body type can pull off. The skirt is a fabulous staple in a wardrobe/closet. This is for the simplicity of it and how you can change it up and style it for every occasion, formal, work to casual days.  

Hats are becoming fashionable again from fedoras to floppy sunhats like the large black one. I often feel good in a hat and like it completes an outfit. The one in this look is very boho and summery.

Here are other hats of similar styling: (ideas of how to wear them)

This is a cute casual style for those who find dresses not for them. Shorts and jumper/baggy top look with dramatic shades. Looks very Vogue to me.

Another way to wear the hats is with a fun printed cotton pants. I've seen this style rock up loads for spring and summer warmer weather. A perfect look for covering up legs but, keeping cool too. These pants come in a huge variety of prints and colours and are creative looking. From leaves to zigzags etc...

This outfit is really romantic for warm weather. You can pair a floppy hat with any dress to be honest. Floral ones are just extra girly and  with spring feeling about it. Hats add a touch of glamour and sophistication. I see a great outfit for a bbq or picnic right there. You can style these hats by adding flowers and ribbon bands. Try matching the dress or part of outfit colour or fabric print... e.g. if you shorten a dress and have fabric remaining...decorate the sun hat with it.

Coloured hem dresses n skirts.

Dip hem dresses used to be popular but then they have become hard to locate.

I'm meaning clothing like these:

find these here:http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=124578674

They are very on the colour block trend and add a pop of colour to a vintage style outfit.

The style also can be found on skirts. I think they're striking.

There are a lot of these dresses at Asos.com:

Here are some skirts in this style:

($30 from yesstyle.com)

and this one I bought from Topshop a couple years ago but love the vibrant colour of. No idea where to find it now sorry. But with good sewing skills you can add an orange band to a purple skater skirt.

This black and white skirt screams retro. You can find it here: http://www.chicwish.com/color-block-faux-leather-skater-skirt.html

Look for Less-4

 

This outfit total £88.95 which is good value for money. The outfit can be worn casually and smart but, probably need to change the blazer for a casual number.

The beautiful chiffon top from Oasap.com can be worn many ways:

  

The top is perfect for any occasion, the beach, a party, out on a date or in an office...etc

With the bold print you can have a lot of fun creating outfits to match this top as it goes with so many colours. Although I'd recommend not to wear it with jazzy patterns. 

It's a stand alone piece that every season you'd find yourself styling outfits with it. 

The shoes and blazer are versatile too being dark colours and classic timeless styles. The prices are affordable. For me I'd say a pound/dollar a wear is right. Meaning if you bought the shoes in this outfit you have to wear them at least 20 times to get the best value out of them. Or the t-shirt 9 times. 

If you feel you can't get the wear out it to justify buying it...then you either don't have enough to go with the item in your wardrobe or it's not the right item for you. 

Finally the jeans. The hot orangey red is dramatic and bright. A perfect warm weather colour. Even though it has been popular last fall/autumn last year 2013. It's pretty much a dark terracotta colour. I find the colour makes your legs slimmer. (Who wouldn't want that unless you're size 0). 

Whatever way you look at the colours, it's a dress down/up look depending on what accessories you add.

This look is smart and great for warm weather. If heels are not for you then ballet flats would work well too. The bright satchel bag adds colour to the otherwise monochrome outfit. It makes a subdued outfit look inviting. Gold statement jewelry is very trendy at the moment with chains being the most popular accessory well up their with hair bows.

 All the elements have potential to be styled with many other items you might already own not only because they are neutral (minus the bag) but, because of the classic cuts/style of the clothing.

To me this look is adorable yet, really trendy at the same time. It's girly without being all pink and fluffy. Not that wearing pink is bad...but, sometimes us females need to look grown up for a change.
