Mad about Tartan

Black tights - Primark

Hi! So it's finally time for my first blog post! I hope you like this outfit and and enjoy reading my blog in the future; I've decided I will be posting on Monday's and Thursday's so be sure to check back then if you don't follow me! I also want to point out that I'm not a professional and don't own a professional camera so the pictures won't be of the greatest quality but I hope you don't mind! (I don't exactly have extra money lying around to afford a new camera!)...

Tartan came through with a bang last year and it's definitely a look that will be staying in my wardrobe for a long while! Whilst still following the crowd and going mad about tartan; I've been more attracted to different coloured prints because I find these easier to style and different to the standard red. I paired this green-toned tartan print skirt with a deep burgundy jumper, afterall it's winter and far too cold to wear anything other than a big cosy jumper!

I love the way the different textures interlink; the cable knit pattern on the jumper, the tartan print of the skirt and the silver zips topped with a leather jacket. This leather jacket particularly caught my eye because it has embroidered shoulder details making it stand out from the rest. It's my go-to jacket, a timeless piece. The same can be said for my bag; I haven't changed bag all winter! But it's good to change once in a while; I find I accumulate far too much rubbish in mine! 

Something I really love is accessorizing. No matter how dull your outfit may be adding a necklace or a pair of earrings can transform the look completely! I wore a plain silver Parfois necklace, some silver H&M rings and my Pandora bracelet. I also wore a black Daniel Wellington watch; if you've seen any before you'll notice mine has a much smaller face (again, following the crowd but in a slightly different way).

*Queue the "I'm so happy people are staring at me on the streets" pose*

    I also prefer different colour tartan prints as opposed to the standard red, I agree they are much easier to style! :)

    However this is such a well put together outfit and you look georgous!! Love the colours together.

    Best wishes,
    Danielle

    1. Thank you lovely! I usually have that problem, my waist is smaller than my hips/thighs so with bodycon skirts it's always so difficult to get the right size but surprisingly this one fit really well! Will do :) X
