Floral and Orange

Thursday, 21 February 2013





After spending a week at home in South Wales, I've finally arrived back in Birmingham ready for tomorrows lecture. Scary to think that we're almost in the last week of February already. How time flies! However, I'm ever so excited to be stepping into the transition from Winter to Spring: fresh flowers in bloom, being able to leave the house with less layers on and the occasional spot of sunshine. 

Before rushing off for the train station, I nagged my mum to take a few snaps of my outfit. I love how the subtle burnt shade of the jacket compliments the busy floral pattern on my trousers. I decided to be jewellery free as I felt that the delicate detailing on the collar acted as a statement piece in itself.

Jacket- Hypnotic £7.99
White Blouse- Charity Shop
Trousers- Topshop £10 (Sale)
Shoes- Primark £13

    Love the floral embroidery details on the collar, super cute and chic! <3 So glad I clicked on your comment that led me back to your blog, your posts' contents are info and image juicy so expect to be seeing some regular comments from me. I've just post up my new punk meets high fashion look, I mean other than the creepers which aren't actually punk, I hope the flat metal studs on them is an excuse enough to strut in them. Do tell me what you think and whether I provoked in punk ;)
