I have become majorly addicted to Polyvore recently so you lucky darlings get another Style Collage post (it's the last week of term and I have a lot of stuff to get done - I promise the posts will go back to being more interesting very soon)! This has been the perfect source of procrastination for me.. so its a blessing and a curse. Damn it. On to the actual collage - like the previous one, this style collage is also inspired by the currently beautiful and lovely summer weather here in England. This one, however, plays a little bit more with leather. I lurve me some leather (in a completely non kinky way, I swear).
Every closet, in my opinion, should harbour a luscious leather jacket. It's simple yet adds an extra kick to an outfit. It can be dressed up or down - Basically, a leather jacket is a staple piece. Werk it. It is perfect for this time of year where the weather could easily swing back to dull and cold and then switch right back to blue skies and lots of sunshine. My favourite way to wear a leather jacket is with denim and a plain/solid coloured top. Considering that it is getting warmer, I decided to pair denim shorts with a dark grey tee. Some people aren't too keen on the combination of shorts and a leather jacket but for me, I think they make a casual yet slightly cheeky outfit. Rawr.
I added a sexy little Steve Madden bag (looks like it could be Balenciaga, right?!) because every outfit needs a bag - the cherry on top! In addition to this, I found these cute cat shoes by Charlotte Olympia (the price tag breaks my heart every time I look at it), which I love because they are subtly quirky and add detail to what you are wearing. I own a pair of mouse flats in an electric blue that I love to throw on if I am wearing something simple or lacking in colour, especially if I am just wearing a plain black dress. Its the best when people, after seeing you all day, all of a sudden come up to you and go "OMG I didn't even see that your shoes are [enter cute animal of your choice here]!" Oh so sneaky. Speaking of colour - the last thing I did was to throw in a pop of colour by adding a mint Essie nail polish. When trying to brighten up an outfit I feel that adding a vibrant necklace, colourful lipstick or nail polish is the best way to do so, as it adds colour without throwing off an entire outfit.
I hope you guys enjoyed this style collage and that you all have a wonderful easter break!
Much Love,
Caroline
