So currently in England, we're not quite at the point of being able to leave the house in just a t-shirt and light jacket because it's still bloody freezing even though we are indeed approaching 'spring'. I don't know what it is at the moment but I'm finding myself immensely drawn to muted and monochromatic shades rather than bold, bright colours- maybe my style choices are simply reminiscent of the colour of the sky (grey, grey, black and then some more grey)- who knows. All the pieces in this outfit are incredibly versatile and the thing I love most about spring/ warmer weather is the ability it gives us to layer. I love the depth and interest layering gives to what could otherwise be quite a boring and one dimensional outfit.
Like the rest of the fashion world I too am pretty much head over heels for anything sportswear related and to be honest I am adoring anything Adidas Original, I feel like whilst being very 'sports luxe' (hate the phrase but it sums it up), these basic and simple sportswear inspired pieces give off a very retro vibe as well. I've completely lived in my Superstar trainers which is so bizarre because I'm not one for completely flat shoes at all but they're just so comfortable and they literally can be thrown together with any outfit- if you want that casual vibe. To be fair the outfit could probably have done with a bit of a pop of colour somewhere maybe in the bag but thats the beauty of hindsight- I'm enjoying the muted palettes regardless. I want to big up this sleeveless duster-jacket-waistcoat-thing that I wore under my coat. I picked it up in Primark and it is that staple piece that can be layered with endless outfit combinations and it is a lovely quality and fit for the 14 odd pounds that I paid. It will certainly carry me through spring and some milder summer days.
Quay is the Australian eyewear brand that everyone seems to be lusting after this season and to be fair I'd been aware of them from last summer but had never bought into the trend until now. I do love their selection of colours, I am a huge sucker for a cat eye frame but in general I like to collect sunglasses. Some people collect bags, others shoes but I love my sunglasses. I think I paid about £30 for this iridescent pink pair and if I'm being totally honest I was expecting them to be slightly more substantial (heavier) but I love the colour and shape too much to care. I guess they could be the pop of colour in this outfit because a killer pair of shades can literally transform an outfit entirely and being realistic I can see myself purchasing another pair.

I have been purchasing some beautiful and awesome new pieces for the upcoming spring season when it finally decides to show itself, so as always stay tuned,
