Outfit Inspiration: Colour Clash

I'm working on a really exciting post today (will be up in a day or two) but also been window shopping online.

I love experimenting with colours instead of prints. I rarely wear really printed stuff and my outfits are mostly colour based (unless I'm wearing traditional clothes, they have a lot going on!)

I thought I'd put together something simple and elegant but exciting at the same time.

OOTD: Birthday Dinner

We went to Tinseltown for dinner yesterday for our cousin's birthday. I thought it would be a good idea to share the outfit I decided to wear!

Didn't really want to go full out on the outfit since we were just going to a restaurant, so I picked something simple but added jewellery to spruce up the outfit a bit! So here it is:

Dress: New Look | Long sleeve T-shirt: Primark | Jeans: New Look

Boots: Shoe Zone | Earrings: Primark (I think?)

Ring: Dorothy Perkins

This ring looked great with the dress because of the polka dots on the dress and the ball shape of the ring, so they really worked well together and the ring really stood out because of its unusual shape.

February Wishlist

As usual I have been spending most of my time browsing the shops online so I decided to compile a wishlist of things that I liked whilst doing some online shopping.

Candy geo skater dress
£22.99 from New Look

I love the geometric print on this dress and the colours as well. The belt cinches in the dress above the waist creating a flowy and pleated effect on the bottom half of the dress.

Grey aztec print jumper
£25 from River Island

I love the aztec print trend at the moment, as you could probably tell by the amount of aztec inspired items in my wishlist! This grey jumper has the red and yellow pops of colour, making it stand out a bit more and the jumper seems great to wear in the currently freezing weather!

Burn out aztec sweat
£28 from Topshop

Another aztec inspired jumper, however this one has a burn out design which I thought made it a bit more unique and interesting to a normal jumper. I also love the loose fitting and shape of the jumper, they are just sooo much more comfy!

Raffia patterned ballet pumps
£15.99 from New Look

Since I am quite tall, I can't really wear heels a lot of the time, so I mainly wear flats like ballet pumps or trainers. These are different from plain pumps and so they would add an interesting element to any outfit.

Embellished teardrop earrings
£5.65 from Forever 21

I usually wear earrings when I am going out to dinner, a party or other occassions, so I usually tend to go for earrings that would be better as party-wear. I love the colour of these earrings and the gold detail as well as the gems on it would make them a great addition to an outfit.

Gold tone two pack of rings
£10 from River Island

I don't own a great deal of rings, so whenever I do look at any rings I tend to favour statement rings that could transform an outfit. I thought these fit the bill and would be great to dress up an outfit!

Zeana oversized tribal design t-shirt
£8.99 from Missguided - Comes in 3 colours: Black/White/Wime

My go-to outfit is usually just a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, so I knew I would have to include a t-shirt on my wishlist. The t-shirt is not overly printed, with a main tribal design in the centre and lines trailing off it, so this would be great for everyday wear.

Burgundy quilted cord patch hoody
£50 from Topman

I know this a men's hoody but I love the quilted design on it and I am a sucker for elbow patches so this hoody screamed out to me! I find for t-shirts and hoodies the men's section at most stores is usually better, with a lot more variety and designs.

I hope you enjoyed seeing just some of the things I was interested in whilst doing some online shopping!
