what I wore | trench + white



laser cut dress: rare london (c/o)
bag: vintage
sandals: shelikes (c/o)

I have to admit I've never been a huge fan of trench coats.. well until amy and megan that is. these two babes have been rocking trench coats with such panache that I have officially been converted #teamtrench. 

they are pretty darn perfect for this time of year though, not too heavy, not too light (especially with the unpredictable showers that seem to be following me around this week!) I've paired mine with this lovely dress from rare london, I loved the laser cut out details on the sleeves and the sheer layering on the body. I think if I wore it with a high pony and changed the shoes it could look a little more edgy too.

speaking of shoes, these chunky gladiator sandals are an actual dream. they've not given me a single blister since I've worn them so expect to see me wearing these puppies again soon! 

I hope you're all excited for the bank holiday? there's a vintage car boot sale on monday so I'm looking forward to dragging the bf round! until then I plan on buddying up with a family sized bag of popcorn and my pj's.. fun times.

back soon

  11. This is such a gorgeous outfit! I think I'm far too safe with my outfits, I don't really mix and match. Have you got any advice on that which you could share with me?

    1. have fun- pull out clothes and lay them out with different options you'll be surprised with what combinations you'll come up with! there's nothing wrong with playing it safe though- wear what you feel comfortable in and you'll feel more confident :) x
