I'm not always the biggest fan of Strike-A-Pose releases, but one piece in particular from the last one caught my eye, the Westwood Plaid Skirt which is a sweet a-line skirt with a fun tartan of green, red and pink. When I spotted this look styled by Bianca.Vos I knew I needed to put together a little Styled By You / / Styled By Me post, because can't we all agree that this outfit for the skirt is amazing?! The almost-identical plaid shirt looks amazing with the skirt, and the green tie is a perfect colour match to combine the two pieces. That balances nicely with the socks and I think the addition of the brown tones is genius, really works perfectly with the shade of green. And the little chihuahua bag is so cute, love this finishing touch =) With my look I wanted to go with a pink theme, but didn't quite have anything in the right shade of pink from the plaid, so I relented and went with classic reds, which work perfectly with it to make a very 'me' look. I really like a square neckline with an a-line skirt like this, and I think the crossbody bag with the height right at the hem of the skirt really works wonderfully. I kept it pretty minimal on the accessories but I think these red options work nicely - next time pink for sure for me with this skirt though!

Apologies for the hiatus, life got in the way! Anyway, back with some looks from the last The Jet Set release - the release came out back in the Autumn, but I think it's a pretty good one for both AW and SS looks, there's a mix of colours, tones and patterns with some super light pastel shades that I'm looking forward to try in the Spring. First up here is the co-ord of the Pearl Sheer Top and Pants, a super cute set and I can't resist pearls! There is quite a lot of sheer to the pieces, but I found it easy to work with through layering, and for a Winter based look a coat was also a good addition. With the coat size I really like the little pops of pearl just peaking through there. I kept the accessories super simple, more pearls and also white, I think these balance the look well and suit the pieces really nicely too, especially the shoe and pant pairing^ And then I couldn't resist the Oversized Valentino Coat, really love this as a super stylish coat option - it's a great balance between a fitted item and something that's oversized, I love how the shape fits on the doll, and I don't think you can ever have too many pearls! I kept the clothing simple, I found the coat looks best without a shirt when paired with these trousers, so that's something I tried out. Then I added even more pearls in the accessories, honestly I think these boots just balance the shoulder pearls to perfection!
