Monday Chic

Hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend! : ) 

Wearing all black doesn't have to be boring! I think wearing an all black outfit with your hair pulled back can be so chic, especially when mixing different patterns and textures together. Here I've teamed subtle floral, three quarter pants from David Lawrence with a panelled top from Zara. I love this top so much, I also have it in white and of course they go with every outfit. 

To finish off the look, I added simple silver jewellery, black pumps and a cobalt blue jacket in case it got a bit chilly. 

Adding pops of texture to a mono-colour outfit is a great way to look really put together and chic (even though sometimes we don't always feel this way on a Monday morning!) 

Hope you've all had a lovely Monday and enjoyed today's post! 

Pop of Colour Purple

We all know I love me some black and white clothes, but sometimes it's nice to add a pop of colour to your outfit. 

Being the second day of Spring, you'd expect a really lovely sunny day...wrong! Today brought us chilly winds and a touch of rain, and I therefore had to dress to match. I went for some stretchy, black pants I've had forever from Glassons with my flat, black boots. My striped top is from Marcs - which is one of my favourites. This peplum zip up jacket you've seen on a number of occasions which is from Cue. Of course my Louis Vuitton Neverfull and the pop of colour scarf I got from my mum. She actually made this for me in a number of colours  : ) it's a really warm, casual scarf and I love it! 

What do you like to add to a plain outfit for a pop of colour?
