Season Must Have - Printed Trousers!

Printed Trousers

Not a trend for everyone to pull off, especially if the trousers are a loud print even I sometimes question buying this trend but searching the web I've picked out the best prints and styled them with other garments and accessories to help your vision with styling printed trousers and giving you some new outfit ideas for the new season based upon your shape.....


First of all - KNOW YOUR SHAPE. WHICH TROUSER STYLE IS FOR YOU?

£21.99 Missguided

 BOYISH - If you are straight up and down with little natural curve, you have a 'boyish' figure. Consider high-waisted trousers with a nice belt, anything that draws attention to your waist will help show a difference between your top and your bottom. Another great tip is to tuck in your top as you can play around with creating the illusion you have a fuller womanly frame.

£17.99 Newlook

HOURGLASS - Heavily flared trousers with heavy, brightly colored bold prints can sometimes be too much so go with straight leg trousers or mid calf, this will help create the illusion of slimming in the right areas.

£45 Asos

PEARSHAPED - Trousers with a slight flare or wide leg work well on pearshapes, darker shades create a slimming illusion and will flatter your figure but don't be afraid to combine them with other multi-colored garments or try pastel colored trousers.

£35 River Island

APPLE-SHAPED - Mid rise, wide legged trousers work well with apple shaped figures as they create the look of longer legs and smooth your bumpy bits.


PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER...



The Beautiful Boyish Babe 

All items - MISSGUIDED

If you have a 'boyish' frame, work pretty patterns and girly colours with the odd sporty accessory for contrast. The high-waisted trousers work wonders on straight up and down girls especially when clinched with an eye catching belt to show the difference between your top and bottom half and create the illusion of better natural curve.

The Honoured Hourglass Hottie

All items - NEWLOOK

Mid-calf trousers are great for hourglass figures to concentrate on your natural womanly curves by slimming you below the waist. Ive gone with these ditzy floral print black trousers and worked with blue tones to compliment. If you don't like being too match-matchy then go ahead and colour clash, Newlook has some great choices in. (Links below...)

The Awesome Apple-Shaped Allstar

All items - RIVER ISLAND

An urban native vibe with this pretty print. Appleshapes are slightly hard to dress but with the right garment and a confident smile you will rock this new season trend. River Island still has some great summer pieces in but also some great autumn garments in too! You can wear these trousers for an off duty casual day or glam them up at night. Wearing wide leg trousers on your shape will create the look of longer legs but for added help, these sassy silver heels give you the height you need and a little sex appeal. (Links below...)

' Mellow Yellow ' // Last Weekend - YNOT FESTIVAL 2014.....

Last week I strolled into River Island and bought this gorgeous top in the sale for £12 its a mustard yellow color and is a satin material and has a floaty flare to it. I worked it with a baggy pleated skirt which is also by River Island as I wanted the loose, floaty feel to add volume and flare. This look is great for welcoming Autumn in, you would just need to add a pair of 15 denier tights.

SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND...

Y - NOT FESTIVAL 2014 - Pikehall, Matlock

Last weekend was YNot Festival which was pretty dull weather for the first two days but Sunday it perked up. Me and my friend shared the worlds smallest tent but had a great laugh (note to self - bring a bigger tent next time). I got to see bands like , White Lies, Frank Turner , Del a Soul, Swim Deep, British Sea Power and loads more. All of them were pretty cool and got to check out some new up and coming bands a favourite was Glass Caves (check them out). 

Whilst hanging around I checked out the festival fashion and there was some pretty quirky stuff going on and I picked up some great ideas.

I saw one girl who wore her floral garland around her bowler hat which looked fab and was a pretty clever idea because if you can't decide on what head wear to go for that day this gets you away with wearing both and absolutely rocking it.

Pac-a-Mac // Sunglasses - Primark, Dress - River Island

Friday - This spotty dress with scalloped neckline is last seasons River Island's and the green spots on it matched to perfection with my khaki pac-a-mac! I went for 70's style sunnies and little old cowboy boots to give a laid back effortless vibe.

Dress - Topshop, Necklace - Harleys Interiors, Garland - Primark

Saturday - I love this dress its so boho and pretty but ivory + mud = DISASTER!! A lesson was learned when I got a few mud splashes on the front of it. Had to rock the wellies or the next couple of days as the weather was rubbish on Saturday so the field was ditched!! The statement necklace added sass and the floral garland got busted out this day.

Playsuit // Wellies - Primark

Sunday - Last day of the festival in my Primark playsuit, which is super comfy and I haven't worn a playsuit for a while so it was a nice mix up. There was a 90s theme going around YNot this year so I thought it was only fitting I wore my black 90s choker. Again wells was a priority even though this was quite a nice day but my this point nobody really cared and I didn't want to wreck my little black boots. As you can see the bedhead hair kicked in....

Going home selfie!

Monday - Off home, unwashed messy hair, don't care!!!

' Palm Rock ' !! // 'something for the weekend'

 

  

  

             

 PALM ROCK




Wednesdays ensemble made ' Outfit Of The Week ' this week, and all week I've been wearing a one piece garment so either a Dress, Playsuit or Dungs (check out my Instagram: @sevenstylesaweek for more updates on my Summer One-piece Week.)

Playsuit - Topshop

     
This playsuit I bought some time around last year in the sale from Topshop, I've only wore it a handful of times seen as though I have so many clothes but its so comfortable and easy breezy. The print on it has little palm trees and whats great about it is that you can make this as pretty and as girly as you want but with the cut of the top I always like to rock this one up a little.


Even though my favorite color is pink I don't tend to buy many clothes in it so when I do wear it I do like to toughen it up so I don't feel like a little girl.

This look felt very 90's with my new choker which was something like £3 from a shop on Ebay.

The Jacket I've had for sometime now too which was in the sale at Primark maybe last year but I don't quite remember, but the boots are fairly new in and when I bought them I was thinking ' boots + summer = gross feet ' haha, but actually there not bad with them being ankle boots and they are the comfiest pair I have purchased in a while with the heel not being so high, I went out for the day to Lichfield then hopped on the train over to B-town all day in these and they didn't hurt or pinch once so they were a good find!

Something for the weekend.....

3 weddings down 1 to go!

Saturday night I was at a wedding reception and its the third one I've been to this year. Quite frankly I'm all wedded out now but I like the 'playing dress up' part. I got a quick snap of my outfit before I went out here's what I pulled together.....


          Dress - Zara

I loved putting this outfit together because the Dress is so detailed and so pretty with the lace and I'm in love with blue clothing items at the moment. The Jacket gives the ensemble sophistication and it looks very Chanel - like. These items are both from Zara (meadowhall - sheffield) and I got them in the sale last month. I'm not so sure they will still have them in but I have scanned through there website and they have some good sale bargains on so go check them out.


More importantly let's discuss my choice of footwear.....

          
      
     Shoes - £25 - Boohoo.com


I really wanted to link these but Boohoo seem to have taken them off the website so maybe they were like a limited addition shoe as for how much they are detailed they were pretty cheap. Late on in June I saw them in Look magazine and I was like ' WOWZERS ' I had to have them for that statement shoe factor. I couldn't believe they were only £25, if you was talking Louboutin add a couple of zero's to the price tag and they'd totally be designer... and ridiculously expensive to so THANK YOU Boohoo!

Not really much of a shoe for this occasion as they really clashed with the outfit and I wouldn't say they shouted out sophisticated, but I wanted the color pop trick and the tassel color matched the dress so that was a bonus! I like the fact they clashedand matched with the outfit at the same time as I'm not always a big fan of dressing prim and proper so the more fashion statement I can make the better.

So if your going to wedding or a special occasion and want to go classy but not boring do what I did and style clash with shoes or accessories. Don't be afraid to try something new and look a little different from the sort of guests at a typical occasion.

                                        



                                    



                                                


Have a great week guys,

Love and style

'Sports Luxe'!

    

 

Bag - River Island

New week, new dress! This lovely LBD I've had for a while hanging in my closet, I'm actually trying to wear all my items with tags still on them (yes, I'm bad I know!) before I buy anything new seeing as though right now I should be focusing on buying furniture instead of fashion items... what can I say I'm a full on CLOTHES HORSE!


   
The dress is very simple but with the v-neck in a different relaxed material and the white stripe it makes the dress sportish, hence the 'sport luxe' title. Tying in with the monochrome garment, I picked out my white boohoo heels and black cat eye sunnies. The dress was great and so comfortable to wear and I felt body confident in this, hence the OUTFIT OF THE WEEK. To add slight color to the street style I used my yellow River Island messenger shoulder bag, which actually and apparently my 2 year old sister picked out for me when it was my birthday, good choice Molls!

 

Shoes - Boohoo

Necklace - Topshop

' Boho Chic' !

To start the week off at work on the first day back on Tuesday after the weekend I decided to kick my style off with a very festival / bohemian looking outfit. The dress I got last week from my local Topshop in the sale at £25 which is a gorgeous ivory flare dress with sleeves that cut just below the elbows.., great floaty dress for a 'fat day'. Haha!!!

Dress - Topshop

The boots I have had for quite a while now but they worked great with the dress and I'm usually always pulling out the black boots so to wear my tan knee boots was a nice change, as the suns getting warmer little ankle boots or cowboy boots would rock this style outfit too. I kept accessories very earthy with my wooden bangle and green stone necklace and ring.

     

Boots - Newlook

The head piece I handmade myself using materials from my local haberdashery a while ago. The little selection of satin flowers and bows I just glued on with fabric glue. These are so fun to make as you can create them as minimal or as extravagant as you want and make them a one off but recently I am getting into wearing these floral garlands so you can buy really nice ones too if your not to handy with crafts.


     

Headband - Handmade with love by Modern Aged
