In These Heels

Archive for the ‘How To Wear’ Category

I really want a new blazer, and a fab pair of jeans, but I cant find anything thats not jersey, or legs 10″ too long. I’m also after some amazing tailored trousers, in all styles, cropped, wide, straight, and in neutral beige’s and greys. Shoes must be wooden, super high platforms, and solid straps, no flimsy heels need apply, same for boots. And socks. Socks will be HUGE. Wear shorter length tailored trousers, with chunky charcoal socks and wooden platforms. Team with silky feminine tops, and pearls to soften the look.

Ok so mine isn’t real leather, but I am loving it! Today I had 8hr shift in work, but that didn’t stop me from wearing one of my favourite ever dresses, and my amazing rosemary green United Nude Eamz boots. Expect to see a lot of these 3 items in this blog!

The people in my work place are used to the ever changing hair, and the clothes I tend to wear, and I realise I am very lucky being able to wear what I like, when I like. It enables me to buy that fabulous dress, or those mad heels, cos its not a case of ‘where will I wear it?’, its more like ‘when will I take them off!’

I have been enjoying the trend for draped, exaggerated hips, on skirts and dresses. Harem pants I still don’t understand, and don’t think I ever will! But a bit more detailing on the hips can make your waist and legs look smaller in comparison, so its not all bad!

A good way to try any trend, is to buy it cheap. Primark, Matalan, New Look, whatever your favourite is, you are bound to find the latest styles in there, and for less than your weekly Starbucks spend! Primark is where I found mine, for the bargain amount of £2! Well, I couldn’t say no.

Rather than buying another black skirt, I went for grey. Its a great colour, goes with just as many colours as black does, only looks less gloom, and less formal. I teamed it with a simple blue vest, cropped black jacket, fabulous branch necklace from Love Hearts and Crosses, and a pair of my favourite brand heels, Irregular Choice.

Staying tight on top is a must. You should never go for volume all over unless you want to look like you are wearing all your clothes at one time. High waisted skirts are the easiest, simply tuck a t-shirt, or shirt into it. Accessories and shoes shouldn’t be too fussy, use the less-is-more approach to draping, as the skirt is the statement piece of the outfit.

One of my best friends on the web loved this skirt when I posted it, so next time I was in Primark, and I saw it marked down to only £1, I had to buy it for her! ShoeGalFi wore it more dressed up for work, with purple tank top and a gorgeous corsage. She also paired it with blue another day, I think she has a thing for blue…..!
