Another building the outfit post for a cold day today. Starting with a very plain and boring base - navy square cut top from Dorothy Perkins, indigo skinnies from Tesco and Clarks grey ankle boots.
Brightened up with a bit of bling from the shop - the large leaf necklace:
Add a bit of colour with my red leopard scarf, also from the shop, which picks up the navy nicely. It's out of stock at the moment but I've loads more coming in on Tuesday afternoon! Email if you want to reserve one - schoolgatestyle@yahoo.co.uk.
Finally, I added my cosy poncho from TK Maxx (bought last year) and my favourite Canonbury Clutch from Boden:
I know ponchos aren't for everyone but I'm a huge fan. They're just so easy to throw on and are brilliant if you drive a lot. And they hide everything. I've done an edit of my favourites below.
With a cross-body bag, this is the perfect outfit for a Friday which includes swimming classes...where I end up carrying bags and coats for all 3 kids..at once!
Ok - time to hit the road to Tipperary with my girls. I'll be back in a couple of days! Have a great weekend everyone,
Ax

ReplyDeleteMost of my outfits start with a plain base and then I add colour with accessories depending on how I feel - sometimes it is so early I am not sure what colour scarf it is I grab first! X
