Shirt: H&M Blazer: H&M
Leggings: Topshop Cardigan: River Island
Lipstick: Mac Russian Red
You will rarely catch me wearing black. I am a magpie to colourful clothes, especially during these dull dreary winter months. Monochrome however is another tale. I love a monochrome palette; so simple, chic and easy to wear. AW11 trends sees the stores studded with dalmatian and dog-tooth prints, as well as block patterns of black and white. I think these hues are really flattering and I love wearing a bright red lip as an playful juxtaposition to the outfit.
The blazer and the shirt are both quite recent purchases from H&M. I had been after a boyfriend-style blazer for a while and my search was finally satiated after a quick visit to H&M on my lunch break. The shirt is a lovely silky material and is just long enough to uphold my modesty when wearing leggings. And it has pockets – what more could you ask for!
The oversized chunky cardigan from River Island was an item recently sent to me to feature. I love the patchwork pockets, and the soft grey tones against the cream. It is so big and snug, it is the perfect cardigan to wrap yourself up in whilst sipping hot chocolate and dreaming of a warmer times.
If you fancy winning River Island’s new AW collection, the Style Tribe range, which includes this cardigan, then simply play their Facebook game here. Find the nine hidden items and you will be entered into the competition. Good luck.
Have you immersed yourself in monochrome this season?
