CAMEL TONES











Camel is here to stay and has even been added to the minimalists palette. It's not hard to understand why, it's such a lovely tone that can be added to the brightest or darkest tone as it adds an air of sophistication  you can't refute. 

If you don't own a camel coat then, seriously how are you even winning through winter, you have to add one now!!

This coat was released by missguided and is always restocked, as it sells out so quickly. The classic midi length, the colour hue and the pockets, it's easy to see why this has become a winter staple. 

I went matchy- matchy with this outfit by adding camel wide leg trousers and played it off with camel's sister, khaki. The bodysuit is perfect tone to bring out the colours and contrast. I loved the fit of the coat and how it contrasted against the wideness of the trousers.

Usually as I am petite, I stay away from wide leg trousers and prefer tapered,cigarette or peg trousers, but the heels married the pieces together, and gave me the height I needed to pull off such trousers. (Just be prepared to look as though you are floating.) I love the tassel details and was happy when I received these as a gift from my fiancĂ©e over Christmas, dare I say even impressed. I finished the look with this Chloe- esque bag from very which I loved so much I had to also purchase in navy. 

How do you feel about matching tones, and would you short ladies rock these trousers?

Style | wardrobe staples


                     
          

The perfect casual chic outfit, is a mix of casual pieces with one or two dressed up items. 

Your wardrobe needs these classic staples, ripped jeans, white tshirt and a blazer. Once combined they make for a very classic look. 

I went for grey Leigh jeans from Topshop to steer away from the typical dark wash jeans and I love the fit of these jeans, especially as they also come in a petite size. The tan shoes were a birthday gift and with my skin tone are basically a nude they married well with my rust colored blazer, this colour is so trendy at the moment and I think I'm buying every item in this shade. What staples does your wardrobe need?
