How to Style The Ankle Swinger
I was going to call this post 1 pair of trousers, 3 ways because that’s what this post is but it just didn’t quite have the right ring to it.
Simple Chic
Moon Child|OOTD
Hat – Topshop (similar)|Crop top – Topshop|Skirt – Brandy Melville (similar)|Boots – New Look (similar)|Tattoos – Lottie London|Rings – Accessorize.
OMG Kate’s wearing an all black outfit surprise surprise!
I love this outfit its so full of textures and the lighter boots really lift what could be a dull outfit.
I am not normally a skirt wearing person but this Brandy Melville one is the perfect black skater skirt for all occasions and it’s not crazy short either. The crop top is a little shorter than what I normally wear but doesn’t look trashy paired with the skirt because of the higher neck.
I wore this outfit for a film screening and thought it was a perfect smart casual get up.

The Every Occasion Outfit|OOTD
Crop Top – Topshop|Shorts – H&M|Boots – New Look (similar)|Bag – Accessorize|Tattoos – Lottie London.
Why do I always look so moody in OOTD posts. I promise i’m a happy person!
Anyway, I love this outfit; it’s again very simple but it’s the perfect outfit for just about any occasion. I can see myself wearing this for a lunch date, shopping with the girls, a night out at a cocktail bar or just lounging about at home – minus the boots of course.
The shorts from New Look are a tiny little bit short however I find that wearing some cycling shorts underneath helps any unfortunate flashes. Yes I am still wearing metallic tattoos and these ones are by Lottie London. You get a ton of designs in both silver, gold and black and they are slightly more delicate than the Primark ones I have previously worn. Really easy to apply and last for a good week.

ASOS Girl|OOTD
Shirt, Jeans and Boots – ASOS.
I am a walking advert for ASOS in this outfit and I didn’t even mean to be! The ASOS sale is literally one of my favourite parts of the year because the bargains are insane. I wore this outfit for dinner and cinema with A and love how great it is for summer evenings.
I live in Ridley Skinny Jeans so when some distressed ones popped up in the sale I just couldn’t say no. I’m not sure I have the best knees for tight ripped jeans – they’ve been compared to two doughnuts but I love how they add a bit of grunge to the outfit without looking trashy.
The kimono shirt was a pretty big step outside the box for me. It’s super over sized and I was a little worried it would drown my quite tiny body especially with the large floral print, but I love how floaty and boho it feels which adds contrast to the ripped jeans.
I’ve had the Roxy Chelsea Boots since Christmas and found I haven’t worn them to much so decided to wipe the dust off them and take them for a ride.
Do you ever end up wearing just one brand?

Fuss Free|OOTD
Dress – Glamorous (similar)|Boots – New Look (similar)|Hat – Primark (similar)|Watch – Mondaine|Rings – Accessorize.
People tell you not to mix blue and black, brown and black, blue and brown but this outfit just works. Now we all know I love a good stripe and this dress from Glamorous is the perfect, it’s great length for a day out in town paired with some brown heeled Chelsea boots which makes the outfit looks less heavy – black boots with bare legs can sometimes make me look ‘dumpy’. I chose equally simple accessorises so as not to take away from the simplicity of the outfit, all silver jewellery.
This is definitely a classic look that I will continue to wear throughout the hotter weather.

Painter and Decorator Chic|OOTD
Hat – Topshop|Jumper – Hollister|Dungarees – Forever 21|Pumps – H&M.
Now dungarees are not everyones cup of tea, trust me the amount of comments I have got whilst wearing these is crazy but they are some of the comfiest things I have owned. My mum and I decided to go for a spontaneous dinner out and I wanted something comfy that could hide the large amount of food I wanted to consume.
I paired my dungarees with this cute Hollister cropped sweater and my black bowler hat a rather odd combination but it works. The one thing I’ve struggled with is finding shoes that go with dungarees but these nude pumps from H&M are perfect.
How do you style your dungarees?

Textured Black|OOTD
Crop Top – Topshop|Skirt – Brandy Melville (similar)|Tights – Primark|Shoes – H&M|Bag – Jocasi.
Being comfy is an absolute must for me and this all black ensemble is a go to for me. Just because an outfit is all black doesn’t mean it has to be boring! The different textures in this outfit stop it from being boring and add a little extra something, plus my hair adds a pop of colour.
I love this ribbed crop top from Topshop because its not overly cropped so I don’t have to show off too much of my stomach unless I want to, I love pairing it with this skirt from Brandy Melville which is in an odd sort of suede fabric but even though it looks like it would be heavy it still super swishy.
To add another layer of texture I went for this gorgeous Jocasi python clutch – I recently worked on their new collection as the make-up artist and was very kindly gifted this after the shoot. It’s a great size for holding all my stuff but still looks chic.

Are you a bracelet lover?
Pull&Bear Bracelets – £9.99
I am not normally a bracelet wearer at all, they annoy me and I always forget to put them on; but since buying this pack of 4 from Pull&Bear I have not left the house without them. I love how they all go together but you could also wear them alone, they’re not too heavy and don’t clink about. My favourite is the chunky one with the blue stone in the middle as it matches one of my rings that I always wear.
Priced at only £9.99 I may invest in more and hey who knows I might be come a full time bracelet wearer.
Are you a bracelet lover or a hater?
