What to wear on a rainy day commute to work….

Rainy Day? Commute in Style…..

Today was a rainy day here in London and so I started to think about all the busy ladies who commute to their jobs everyday and need a cheery outfit to lift their spirits on their way to work. I’ve chosen the classic colour combination of red, white and black which would suit ladies with Clear or Deep colouring, but Cools could wear it too if they opt for reds that have a blue undertone. Stripes are a key trend this season, so I’ve chosen a black ad white striped cardigan and put it with a pair of black bootleg trousers. Both items are from Debenhams.

This look is perfect for Neat Hourglass figures but especially good for Triangles (Pears) as the horizontal stripes will widen the upper body to balance the hips. The trousers have also been chosen with the Triangle in mind. There are no pockets which might draw attention to wider hips and the bootleg cut balances the figure.  The black court shoes (pumps) are from Dune. They are perfect for work as they are neither too high nor too low and would be appropriate in any office.  I’ve added a gorgeous red raincoat from Aquascutum which will brighten any cloudy skies, added a chic patent leather tote and finished the look with a very pretty heart trimmed umbrella as it’s coming up to Valentine’s Day!

Enjoy your commute!

How to wear ‘Nautical’ for Redheads

Posted on February 7, 2011 | 1 comment

Casual Monday Outfit

Spring is just around the corner (I hope!) and it’s always a good time to get out those striped tops and ‘do a bit of nautical’. The trouble is that if you have Warm colouring those black and white or navy and white stripes with a classic black or beige trench can play havoc with your complexion and make you look really washed out. So what’s a girl to do if she’s got lovely auburn hair and green eyes? I’ve put together this outfit just for you!

Nautical Trend 2011

I’ve chosen a brown cord trench coat worn with gorgeous camel skinny cargo trousers tucked into boots. For that nautical ‘look’ I opted for a long striped tunic from Warehouse worn with this three colour belt. For added cosiness (it’s not Spring quite yet!), I chose a camel coloured boyfriend cardigan from Top Shop and a fabulous fringed scarf from Jane Norman. Throw the look together with a pair of bronze earrings, a cocktail ring and your favourite bag and you’re ready to go out! Fabulous!
