My post on my fashion fears, which included photos of a look I'm
currently loving, proved very popular, if you missed it please take a read
here. So, I thought why not write another! Here I tell you about how I enjoy styling my leopard print coat and flares.
I have always
enjoyed clothes and fashion but two things held me back from embracing that
love and displaying it in my wardrobe. Firstly, my fear of standing out, I used
clothes as a method to blend in. Secondly my practical nature. I'm so bad at
justifying purchases! 'It's too expensive.' 'I won't wear it enough.' 'It won't
stay in style for long enough.' 'I already own something remotely similar.'
'It's too young.' 'It makes too much of a statement.' These are but a few of my
excuses.
That's if my
anxiety didn't prevent me entering the shop in the first place. Even once I was
in the shop and selected something safe and usually in the sale, I would often
freak out in the changing room and end up fleeing in tears. I have always been
very self-conscious of my appearance.
Well this is the
year I face those fears and enable myself to enjoy life including fashion and
display the best version of Kelly.
I will face those
shops and changing rooms and I will select trend led pieces I may rarely wear
purely because I love them and it's fun. I will style the clothes I buy and
then pose for photos wearing them because if so many others can then why not
me. I'm feeling more comfortable in front of the camera already which is a
revelation! (Couldn't resist a catalogue pose)
Dare I hope my choices
may inspire others, that would be wonderful. Either way I'm going to have fun
and enjoy this new path.
So here is my
second look that I've styled for the blog, this look is based around my
leopard
print coat and flared jeans.
I have always
loved leopard print I've just never dared wear it. I thought based on my new
attitude I wouldn't merely dip my toe into the trend with an accessory I would
jump straight in with a coat!
Much as I still
love my skinny jeans, I am glad the flared style is having a revival. I think
it suits my pear shape. This pair are long so I team them with heeled ankle
boots, on this day they were one of my black pairs. They are quite a chunky
pair which I think balances out the flare well.
A basic polo neck
completes the look.
What do you think
of my choices? Would you wear a leopard print coat and flares?
Jacket - New Look
Polo Neck - Marks and Spencer
Jeans - Top Shop
Boots - Red
