It is very easy to have pieces in your wardrobe that just go with one other thing or to buy in outfits but I make sure that when I buy something that it goes with at least three other pieces I already own, that way you are creating new outfits all the time and making your clothes really work for you.
My recent purchase was a fabulous summer skirt from Retreat Vintage and I feel it is going to be one of my favourite pieces for this season. I wore it on my recent trip to London but it is going to be really versatile in my wardrobe so here are the ways that I have styled it up.
This was the London adventure outfit.
Vintage 80’s velvet jacket, shoes Nine West, bag New Look
Top Nicole Farhi – Jarrolds, shoes from ages ago – Top Shop I think and vintage 40’s bag.
Sweater M&S, boots Ebay, vintage 70’s bag Ebay and brooch Lulu Vintage.
So my top tip for creating new outfits is when you are thinking of buying a new item just stop and think – will it go with anything else I have and then when you get it home don’t just stick it in the wardrobe have a bit of a play and see how many different options you can do??
