So a little bit about me... My names Coral Francis Baker I'm a new fashion blogger and would say my style is very versatile. My favourite colour is pink SHOCK! favourite trend at the moment is tartan and was exactly the same last year when the trend took over most high street stores. I'm currently studying in Birmingham City University fashion business and promotion. The one perk of being a student is the night life and my student loan which is currently being spent on clothes and food like they typical student.

So on to the outfit... what can I say except how I love the slouchy knit and pleated skort combo. But yes it is very St Trinians-esque. The skirt was an amazing sale find in River Island for £10.00 however online its actually £7.00! how cheeky is that! Anyway if you know me you know how I love knee socks especially at winter, I do love over the knee boots but they don't love my skinny legs so socks are the second best thing right. The outfit itself is very monochrome with a pop of pink in my hair, bag and skort, ive tried to keep the main attention of my outfit on the skirt so tried to bring out all the colours from it.

Zara TRF - Fashion facts

OOTD 100%; this TRF tee is perfect for those lazy days. By letting everyone know your look is on point (with the totally un-subtle reminders) this chic Zara pick makes any day a catwalk day.

Being so easy to match with anything is what I love about Zara's Trafaluc top. Simple was the image I went for today, with small details to complete the overall ensemble. Silver jewels match perfectly with the grey background whilst adding a little glitz to the outfit. I actually used some stretchy bracelets as arm cuffs due to the shorter sleeves of the top and to balance the length of the skort. 

The asymmetric hemline makes the skort less plain and fab to wear during the day or on a night out. There are loads similar in different stores so you can shop around for the best finish to compliment you're shape if you're not a fan of this hem. 

Sheer socks look super cute with heeled sandals, and I love the heart design of this pair. If you're not a big fan of showing off your feet this is a great solution to still wear this style shoe without everyone seeing your toes. Frilly socks are also an option for these shoes as the frills hang over the top buckle and are available in tons of colours if you want to match them to other accessories/ garments! 

An alternative styling option for the tee could be a midi skirt; tuck the t-shirt in loosely and match jewellry to colours in the skirt.

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.
