Recently the House of Fraser team got in touch, inviting bloggers like myself to create an A/W look using items from their website to be in with a chance of
winning £200 of vouchers [competition now closed]. I love House of Fraser and thought I’d give it a go –
how hard could it be?
And the answer my friends is hard. Very hard. House of Fraser has an impressive
and wide range of clothing and accessories online which made picking out only a
few items very daunting indeed. And then suddenly I found the most beautiful coat on their website which
I just knew I had to build my look around. Here is my entry:
Underneath the coat, I would wear this metallic piece of knitwear loosely
tucked into this pleated skirt (minus the belt). The coat would be worn open on
top of these but I would clinch it in at the waist using the belt from the
skirt to emphasise my small (ish) waist. As the British weather is so unpredictable,
I would wear these cheeky stockings underneath the skirt so that if it warmed
up over the course of the day, they could be easily removed and kept in my
handbag if needs be. I decided to toughen up the look with these leather gloves
and these military style ankle boots. I loved the edginess of the gloves with
the buckle detail – they would be perfect for those icy cold mornings that will
soon be upon us!
My autumn/winter look is heavily inspired by Burberry Prorsum’s A/W 2012
collection which featured knee length skirts and outerwear clinched in at the
waist with belts:
Whist I still adore the Burberry coat Cara Delevingne is wearing, I do honestly
think that the House of Fraser one I found could give it a run for its money!
Not only is it a fraction of the price, but check out that print! Breathtaking.
I picked out these items in particular as not only are they beautiful to
look at, but they are also timeless pieces that will never go out of style – so well
worth the investment! And if Fashion ever told me that any of my items were “out”,
I simply wouldn’t listen. I would continue to wear them and love them the same.
Another great thing about this outfit is that it could be worn anywhere.
It’s perfect to wear to work but wouldn’t look out of place for after work
drinks. I find it’s smart and comfortable without being too formal.
Would you wear an outfit like this?
Nice look!
