I love the feeling of putting items of clothing together that on paper really shouldn't work and should clash really rather horribly, but that in reality look absolutely bangin' (that's the technical term) and make me feel ten times cooler than I actually am.
It's the little things in life isn't it?
So in celebration of all things clashing, I've put together a lookbook of some of my favourite recent examples. Enjoy folks...
I've always been a fan (slight exaggeration, I wasn't a fan of this when I was a baby, but 'I've been a fan since around the age of 15' didn't really have the same ring to it) of dressing things up or down; putting something smart with something casual like a pretty dress with chunky trainers or a floaty (spell check seems to think that 'floaty' isn't a word and I strongly contest this) blouse with joggers.
Another contrast I love is pairing pretty and feminine with something slightly more grungy (I'm so edgy) such as florals and leather or a skirt with biker boots. And to really be controversial I have to say you can't beat a good print clash. Gimme stripes with polka dots, florals with gingham; throw it all on and see what happens.

I'm always a bit scared of clashing things but I really love how you've style these pieces. Lots of inspiration for me to reinvent my wardrobe!

Thanks so much Gemma, hope you're having a good week! xx
DeleteI just want to try something new like what you're doing with those looks. I've always been on the safe side of dressing up like pairing what I think is the safest. And I think, maybe that's the reason why I wasn't still out of my shell in the world of fashion. I love your bag on the first outfit. I've been wanting to have that kind of rattan bag too. :)
