GREY DAY

This was a look I'd had planned to shoot way back in the far away land of 2015. As much as I have a growing amount of grey garments in my wardrobe, it's surprisingly difficult to match different shades. Particularly with this pair of flares, which are the ideal combination of smart-casual. I was inspired to buy them after my love for my striped wide leg trousers only continued to grow, as I wanted more colours for other occasions.

These are a slightly different fit and shape which means they open a whole other world of outfits. And here, on a terrible but appropriately coloured grey day in London, lies my all grey concoction! To break up the varying shades of grey I added fur to create texture, along with the checked crop top. The boots, which are only slightly visible with this look and will reappear in future posts to do them greater justice, work perfectly beneath the trousers with their pointed toes. With the prospect of bitter winds hitting the city this weekend, this kind of look would be ideal for London Fashion Week, and not just because the shoes are pretty sensible as my shoe wardrobe goes. Although I'm not entirely sure whether I will be attending, but this is not without trying.
