The Weather Struggle & Playing With Textures

Samio - Cruly Afro

I really enjoy playing with different textures with my outfits, especially in the winter. This faux fur scarf has been a go to piece for me recently; whether I’m rocking it with my biker jacket, wearing it with my long wool coat or alone over a knit like this, it seems to be my go to winter wrap.

ASOS Midi Skirt In Leather Look With Wrap Detail

The faux leather skirt I’d spotted on Asos back in November and instantly fell in love with it. They also do the skirt in a gorgeous grey colour but I opted for black as I thought it would be more versatile when creating different outfits, however now I’m starting to think I want the one in stone too (don’t be greedy Samio). This is one of those skirts that totally makes an outfit and I can’t wait to wear it more over the coming months.

It was a bit of a challenge shooting my outfit on this occasion, due to the extreme wind and so these images nearly didn’t make it to my blog. However, as outfit posts are my favourite and something I want to share more here on my blog this year, I decided to try and not be so critical and let these images make the cut… We often do have to battle with the elements here in England during the winter, so I guess it’s only true to life. As much as you want to walk around looking perfectly put together, it doesn’t always happen, so that’s bound to reflect in my style shots from time to time, especially during the U.K winter.

    Oh you look beautiful! The Asos skirt is lovely. I think it’s black since it is versatile. The faux fur with the leather just makes such a great outfit <3

      It really does drive me mad at times and it’s always the day when you’re wearing the nicest outfit that it decides to either throw it down of have gail force winds haha.
