Perfect Pieces To Finish Off An Outfit

Often I find that the right shoes and accessories can help to finish off an outfit perfectly and recently I’ve had a few new additions that I’m absolutely loving…

I’d been on the hunt for a pair of mules for quite some time but finding the perfect ones was actually a harder task than I had anticipated. I’d tried so many on that just weren’t right and I really wanted to be 100% happy with the ones that I eventually went for. In the end Clarks saved the day as they kindly let me pick out a pair of shoes and whilst browsing through their new collection of women’s sandals I spotted this fabulous snake print pair.

Although this is the first appearance of these shoes on my blog, I’ve actually been getting so much wear out of them. They are my comfiest pair of heels by far and not once have they made my feet sore or felt uncomfortable to walk in, which I’m sure you’ll know is a rarity with heels.

Something else I’ve been loving is my new jewellery. I’m usually a gold person and for quite a while I’d only really been wearing one set of earrings, which I’d pretty much lived in. I’d been wanting some simple rings that I could wear everyday too and when I was asked if I’d like to pick out some of the silver pieces from Velvet Head, after browsing the collection I instantly feel in love. I went for two quite simple rings that I could wear together or on different fingers and one slightly more statement ring that has a synthetic white opal. I love how pretty the three rings look together and it’s nice to have rings that I can’t wear all the time without having to worry about them discolouring my fingers like a lot of dress jewellery does.

Of course once I had silver rings, I needed silver earrings too. A friend from Copenhagen had recently introduced me to the jewellery designer Pernille Corydon, after I had fallen in love with a pair of earrings I’d seen her wearing…I love the simplicity yet uniqueness of these open coin earrings. I’ve been wearing them everyday and I love them.

Day Date Attire

I’ve been super busy as of late and so my blog has been a little neglected. Sometimes I struggle to balance modelling with blogging, especially with all the travelling it requires, being away from home and going back and forth to London quite often. I also spent this past week in London finishing an on going project I’ve been working on with the Imperial War Museum and the Goethe Institute, which I’ve spoken about in a previous post here. It’s been lots of fun but it’s left very little time to blog.

Now I’m back home again but only for a number of days before I head off on another trip and so hopefully I can fit some much needed blogging in before I head off again. For this post I thought I’d share an outfit which I wore a couple of weeks ago…

I bought this long shirt dress at the start of the year from Whistles and I’m so glad I did.I love how versatile this piece is and each time I wear it, I try to style it in a different way. On this occassion I wore it with these cute studded Asos shoes and my trusty biker jacket for a day date with Damien when we headed out for lunch and a few drinks.

Sightseeing Attire

When I’m sightseeing and being a tourist I care far less about ‘fashion’ and what looks good and a lot more about comfort and what will keep me warm. However, my new found love for a more minimal approach with my dressing certainly helped me out on this occasion, whilst in Paris, as everything that I packed for my little city break was very mix and match. This meant that even when throwing clothes on and layering up, everything seemed to go and I felt I’d packed pretty appropriately for the trip whilst still feeling happy in what I was wearing.

The Same But Different – Roll Neck & Faux Fur

I’ve become what you might like to call ‘an outfit repeater’. Long gone are my days of wearing a garment a limited amount of times before getting bored, as now I’m all for making the most out of each and every piece in my wardrobe by wearing them as much as possible. In order to not get bored, I’ve been having fun layering and mixing up garments with completely different looks each time I wear them.

If you have seen my previous blog post, you’ll notice that I’m wearing pretty much the same outfit when you strip it down to the Mon jeans, roll neck and bag. By simply changing the jacket and swapping trainers for heels, the look is instantly smartened up a little.

I know it’s not rocket science and mixing and matching items is what many people do everyday. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not something I’m new to, it’s just that before, I used to constancy crave new items in my wardrobe without fully appreciating the real versatility of many of the pieces that I already owned. As more and more ‘unnecessary’ pieces leave my wardrobe and I’m left with less clothes to sift through, I’m actually finding myself feeling happier with the fewer items I’m left with. I’m enjoying finding new ways to create different looks without the constant need for new garments.
