Chestnut Shoulder Bag | Styled By You / / Styled By Me

Another paired styling today! I spotted --kayley wearing the Chestnut Shoulder Bag from Bizou and knew this would be the ideal opportunity to style it too - it really has the vibes of a good piece, love the texture and the over the shoulder design, but it's just one of those styles and colours I don't wear often - I did wear it for the Bag It Up Challenge, and don't love that look, but Miloshki's worn it in a few posts and it looks great^

What really drew me to --kayley's look is the brown and black combination with the jacket, for me it's a classic combination that works nicely and the style of this jacket is super cool, those shoulders really pop in the styling and I think they help highlight the bag. These brown trousers are also a classic, and I love the accessories, the shoes and sunglasses are simple but look great with the bag and I love the pop of blue from the earrings!

For my styling I really could have also worn black, but went on the opposite end of the colour spectrum and paired the bag with white - this blazer is a classic piece and I really like it with this bag, there are so many options for styling up the pairing but this time I went summery with a dress. These brown sandals are a pretty decent match for the bag and I finished off the styling with brown sunglasses - I think it all works pretty effectively for the bag and I'm glad I got around to styling it up again =D

Gucci Getup

70s dinner party.

This is a Gucci inspired look!
Alessandro Michele, current designer for Gucci, is known for designing maximalist, bold
and exagerated clothing using crazy shapes, fun prints and mixing different eras and styles
 of fashion.

I took inspiration mostly from the Fall 2015, Resort 2017 and Fall 2017 collections,
but also around Gucci's aesthetic as a whole.

Nude check

So many awesome stylings with blazers this season, and this one from Aphasia is no exception! I've really not considered this checked nude blazer before, and I think I need to re-evaluate that because this really looks pretty amazing. The rolled sleeves suit the style, and the longer asymmetrical length works well, particularly with the design of the skirt with the asymmetrical lengths - a perfect colour pairing too^ The accessories are also fitting, the booties are perfect and I like the different choice of this silver bag, which works perfectly with the threads of silver running through the blazer, I totally would not have thought of that, but I love it!

Red White & Blue

I've got a quick, casual look for you today - the sort of thing you might throw on for errands, but like, stylish errands where you hope you might run into someone you know so you can show them how sophisticated you are at all. times.

I live in my trainers at the moment. Life just gets a bit manic for everyone at this time of year doesn't it, so it doesn't matter if they match, trainers are there to keep your feet comfy and put and spring in your step. A nice pair of pure white ones are an absolute must as they've almost become as smart as the traditional court or dress shoe, but with an edgier and more practical vibe.

D E N I M J A C K E T S | Save Or Sell

I've been meaning to do something with denim jackets for a while, but wasn't sure I wanted to do with them - they're not pieces I wear often, so styling them up didn't seem quite right as I'm not sure I'm convinced on denim jackets, thus Spring stylings to decide whether to Save or Sell these pieces is a perfect choice! Today 3 jackets that have been hiding in my wardrobe, some for quite a while.

H O T B U Y S L O O S E F I T D E N I M J A C K E T

This is a Hotbuys piece from June 2017, which I really liked back then, but I think that feeling wore off quite quickly as I don't think I've styled it since then. I really struggled finding a variety of pieces or colours to wear with this jacket, hence both looks being white-based. I think the dress is super cute with the jacket, but I have no desire to wear this style again, so for me it's an obvious choice to S E L L this one.

N O E D G E S D E N I M J A C K E T

This next piece is an old Subcouture one, again from 2017, and another one which I thought I liked back then, now it's really not for me. I don't like the looser fit without structure, and I don't like the boxy style with the rolling of the sleeves - I'm not ruling out the style in the future, but this specific one isn't for me. I really don't like these stylings, there was a lot of 'tooth pulling' to get these looks together, a definite struggle! I don't mind the blue trouser and boot combination with the denim, but neither of the looks a favourites, so this is another piece to S E L L.

B A L E N C I A G A I N S P I R E D D E N I M J A C K E T

At least I am ending on a high - I'm happy to say I'm going to S A V E this one! This one is fairly recent from Balenciaga and I definitely like it a lot more than the first two. I'm not sure if it's the dark denim colouring, or if it's the cropped fit with the buttons done up that sells it to me over the others, but they're great features to it. I like the open neck and the (almost) full length sleeves. I found this one quite easy to find pieces to style it with, but blue and green tones were definite winners. I really like both of these stylings and found them effortless to put together - I'm glad something worked out in the end with this post =D

Fresh mint

Perfect pistachio for Spring in this fresh mint look from AURA. today =) I love this tulle flouncy skirt so much, it's a fun piece that definitely doesn't get worn enough! This styling is perfect for it, I love the resizing of the matched mint playsuit to make a very cool sleeveless top with the hint of the bralette at the side, so cool! Of course, this mint belt bag is another great fit, but the white touches really pop - the belt fits just right and I love the pointed booties, such a cool vibe added to the look!
