2nd way to wear - Topshop's lurex crop tee

As the cold weather has started to flurry in I've began to layer summer styles into AW looks. My new statement is my lurex crop from Topshop in black (shimmery silver), I've been styling it with skirts and jeans recently; but as rain was due I decided to match it with this silky jumpsuit from last year.

The muted tones in the jumpsuit are easy to put with any other colours, and can be layered with different sleeve-length tops weather depending. As per usual I went minimal with accessories, although an arm cuff or multiple rings could have worked well with this style. An alternative to layering the jumpsuit could be jeans and a bralet; low waisted jeans would be more casual, and a lace bralet would contrast the texture of the cropped tee. 

I also tend to wear socks with my cut out boots if not wearing tights, for this outfit I matched my socks to the top, they stood out from the boots without being distracting/ overly noticeable. 

Perfectly abandoned

For today's outfit I went for monochrome colours with a Clueless edge. I chose some warmer knits for this on-off weather; whilst going for a cropped t-shirt and skort for an end of summer look. Everyone has been wearing Topshop's cropped t-shirts recently, however I fell for this sparkly number that perfectly embraces the approach of the festive season. It has a high neck which makes it great for the cold weather, especially if matching it with jeans or trousers. 

My dogtooth skort is one of my favourite pieces atm because it is super diverse and matches with almost anything. I love clashing prints so would definitely match this with a patterned/ statement top. Of course I also had to wear my cut out boots - they are absolutely fab for this weather and lengthen your legs. 

I tend to go pretty bare with accessories; however you could easily match this with a holographic/metallic clutch or shoes. But if you can't live without colour pick the same shade of one colour for all accessories in order to not make it too busy.
