Piece de Resistance


{photos by Alicia (1-3) and Mina (4-5)}
If you've followed this blog for a while now, you'll know just how obsessed I was with my black faux fur vest last winter (see here, here & here... to name a few). I'm happy to report that I just may have found my new spring equivalent in this bright tangerine clutch! Since it's arrival into my closet a mere month ago, it's already proven to be surprisingly versatile: it pairs perfectly with a variety of neutrals and I've used it to add an easy pop of on-trend colour to many otherwise colour-less looks. I can't wait to do some colour blocking and texture mixing with it as well... so just a fair warning to expect to see it a lot!




Wearing: YesStyle trench (c/o), J.Crew sweater, H&M skirt (old), Zara shoes, MICHAEL Michael Kors clutch (purchased at a MK outlet store - I also like this Rebecca Minkoff version!), BCBGMAXAZRIA necklace, ASOS bracelet, Lauren Elan bracelet (c/o)

  8. Aaahh, I love trenches! Keep saying that because it's true! They are so classic and sexy without even trying :) Love yours even if the neuteral sand/camel is my ultimate fav! Lovely ensemble!

  11. Hi Jen! I've been following your blog for awhile but first time I'm commenting! Really enjoy your posts - very creative and gives me inspiration for mixing and matching items I already have in my wardrobe so thanks for that! I was just wondering how warm that blue trench coat was? I think it's lovely but the weather up here in Scotland is absolutely freezing and am not sure if it'll be warm enough haha :) Hope to hear from you!

    I love that you added a pop of pattern into the outfit, while the look was mostly simple, making the skirt the center point . That sounded really professional haha.
