#OOTD: 27th April, Sporty Stripes

First of all I must apologise for my month-long hiatus. I was feeling pretty uninspired for a while and I needed to sort out the other areas of my life before getting back to blogging. The good news is I've had a very productive month and I'm full of inspiration again, so watch this space!

I shot this sports luxe look a few weeks ago, it's the perfect transitional outfit. I've become obsessed with wide leg and flared trousers too, they are so flattering! 

The great thing about this outfit is it's versatility. These trousers could easily be worn with trainers for a more 'off-duty'/weekend vibe, or even better swap the t-shirt for a crisp white shirt and the look is more appropriate for work. I snapped these trousers up in the Zara sale so unfortunately they are sold out now, but there are plenty of similar styles here, here and here. 
Slogan tees and bags are also huge this Spring; my Zara t-shirt actually reads 'I'd Rather Be Shopping', which is me all over! 

How would you style wide leg trousers? Leave me a comment!

#OOTD, 22nd March 2015. The Flare

On Sunday my family and I went for a carvery for a belated Mother's Day meal. I took this as an opportunity to wear my new Mango flares - bought via ASOS. I already have a pair of dark indigo flares from ASOS but obviously, a light wash is also a Summer essential. I just need a black pair and then I've hit the trifecta!

Flares, ASOS. Top (old H&M), similar here. Mules, Primark. Bag, Kate Spade. Sunglasses, Michael Kors (via TK Maxx).

I didn't actually intend to blog this outfit until I saw the gorgeous landscape in from the pub car park, and since it was such a beautiful day I thought I'd better take advantage! 

I love these flares, they are so comfy and have a very relaxed feel to them. I've never bought jeans from Mango before because I always assume they would be too short (I'm 5ft 11) but they are the perfect length! And they are only £22 on ASOS at the moment so grab a bargain while you can! I dug this t-shirt out of the back of a drawer but I think it lends a little hippy vibe to the look. Lace t-shirts are great because they can be dressed up or down. These mules were bought from Primark last year, but mules are so big right now you can buy a pair almost anywhere. I love how versatile they can be, and they are also really comfy.

I think I will be living in flares this season so keep an eye on my blog for more flare action this week. I wondered at first what shoes to wear with them because platform boots aren't exactly ideal for me; I tend to wear mine with heeled sandals and also pretty flats. Follow me on Instagram (@kelsiee94) to see how I style them daily. 

Also, I'm having a Spring clean and I'm selling lots of items on Depop, so take a look and grab a bargain! I'm open to offers, username @kelsm. I'll be adding more over this week.
