Whowhatwear Day 20: Dress down your favourite little black dress.


This pic doesn't show the detail on this dress, which is a shame. It has a beautiful beaded hem which is sadly starting to unravel. I bought this dress from TK Maxx years ago as I didn't have a staple LBD in my wardrobe. It's been a  go-to piece for smarter events ever since, but it was nice to wear it as a day dress too.

Whowhatwear Day 19: Pair your favourite denim pieces together for a denim-on-denim look.


I've always been a bit wary of the double denim look, scared of going full on 90's. Or veering too far into cowgirl territory. Think I just about got away with this one though, mixing different shades of denim and keeping it simple.

Whowhatwear Day 18 - Try out a new 'tuck'


I don't often wear tucked in clothes as I don't think it works with my proportions. However I really love this look. I picked up this knit in the sales after searching for an oversized jumper for ages. Together with a houndstooth skort and my favourite two-two-tone boots, it's casual and comfy but also a little bit different.

Whowhatwear Day 17: Winterize your favourite summer skirt.


I love this skirt in summer - it has an elasticated waist so it's super comfy. As per usual I've added everything black to this outfit but at least the skirt is colourful! I've picked out the blues in the skirt with a pashmina I picked up in Paris years and years ago.

Whowhatwear Day 16: Go monochrome in a bright colour.


Today's challenge was definitely a step outside my comfort zone. I wouldn't usually wear a bright colour head to toe but I really enjoyed this look. Orange featured quite heavily in the A/W shows last year and it's a colour you don't see that often. I softened it for my commute by adding lots of black as usual, but I like the contrast with the brightness of the orange.

Whowhatwear Day 15: Create a look with three levels of layering.


Today's look isn't my most stylish. Sometimes I really am just a denim, trainers and t shirt kind of girl and today was one of those days. I did manage to layer my clothing though, proof that you can meet a style challenge on a dressdown day!

Whowhatwear Day 14: Mix two or more prints into your outfit.



Going all out with the Primark prints today. Everything else is black, but the peacock themed t shirt print and leopard cardigan are pretty bold and cover the remit.
