How to wear a masculine plaid shirt

One of my friends asked me how she could wear her red plaid shirt without looking too masculine, so this post is for you Jess!

If you are going to wear something as intrinsically masculine as a plaid shirt, then you need to pair it with really feminine things to balance out all that masculinity!

An easy way to style your plaid shirt, is to wear it like a jacket over a loose flounced top, with necklace, skinny jeans point toe or ballet flats.

Alternatively wear it as a jacket over a dress, or with a skirt. As the dress and skirt are so feminine you can get away with a puffer vest or more masculine shoes.

You can also wear it buttoned up with a short statement necklace over the top. Because the statement necklace is so feminine You can get away with more masculine boyfriend style jeans.

Hope this has helped Jess!

Interiors and fashion are interchangeable

Interiors and fashion are so interchangeable. I saw this bedroom on the Country Road IG page and love how the pastel yellow looks amazing punctuated with grey and black.

I bought these jeans last year and was only thinking the other day, that it was fortunate pastels were in again this Spring/Summer.

This bedroom picture confirmed that all I needed to do to make these jeans a bit more current and edgy was to add some black and grey.

Light, Dark, Print and Colour – Fail safe way to put an outfit together!

If  like me you occasionally press the snooze button a few too many times in the morning, or end up standing with your head against the shower screen with hot water hitting your back for ten minutes. Then, just like me you would know that feeling of urgency as you stand in, or in front of your wardrobe trying to work out what on earth you are going to wear and quickly before you are late for work.

My fail safe way to quickly put together an outfit is to grab a light neutral (my top), a dark neutral (my skirt and tights), a print (either the scarf, or if you have a multi-coloured or textured necklace) and a colour (the blazer).

I can find scarfs annoying after a while, particularly when I am working at my desk, which is why I wore the necklace under the scarf. My tan boots tie in really well with the necklace, but are neutral enough to work even when the necklace is covered.

After work I just switched out my boots and skirt for flats and my boyfriends for a more casual (and comfortable) look.
