OUT AND ABOUT

Wearing: H&M - blouse (similar) | Forever21 - shorts (similar) and satchel | DSW - riding boots | Cotton On - scarf (similar @ Monsoon)

My sincere apologies for the lack of posts in the last couple of days. I've been extremely busy with midterms and general life stuff if you know what I mean, but i'm back and I have lots of exciting new posts coming in the future! For now I hope you enjoy this casual outfit of the day I sported a couple days back featuring a paisley scarf as an alternative for a belt. I think that the scarf added that little bit of "extra" his outfit needed and I was over all really happy with the way this ensemble turned out.

TEXTURE

Wearing: H&M - tee | Forever21 shorts - similar | Pull&Bear tweed blazer - similar (ASOS) | Enzo Angliolini Saharia Boots

Personally, I absolutely adore tweed, however, I can totally see how some people might be confused by it and think that it is super old fashioned. Nonetheless, I think that if you choose the right piece ( like the blazer I have on from Pull&Bear) and balance it by keeping the rest of the outfit rather simple it might just work in your favor!.  In this case I added a plain black tee (standard) , some lightly distressed high-waisted jean shorts and, of course, my favorite pair of biker boots.

Also, here are some tweed/boucle/textured pieces from ASOS that are absolutely to die for :

1. ASOS Textured Coatigan With PU Sleeve      2. ASOS Blazer in Mixed Boucle
3. Maison Scotch Boucle Blazer        4. ASOS Double Breasted Coatigan in Texture
