#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.

#OOTD, 2nd March, The Dungaree Dress

Denim is easily one of the most wearable trends for the new season and as you can probably tell I'm loving it - my insta feed is awash with shades of blue at the moment! 

Since it's still pretty chilly I've paired this cute denim dress with my favourite ASOS fur scarf, and right now it's an absolute bargain at £12!  

I picked this dress up from Primark last year, but there are soo many similar to this hitting stores right now; keep a lookout in Miss Selfridge, ASOS and New Look. I thought I'd go for an Alexa Chung vibe with this look and patent loafers are an absolute wardrobe staple. This exact New Look pair are sold out but this pair is pretty similar. 

I've been thinking of cutting my hair into the style of the moment, the 'lob', so I've been experimenting with a hair tuck. Rosie H-W, Jourdan Dunn and Kendall Jenner make the style look so chic I'm almost convinced! Although, I would definitely grow out my fringe before chopping all my hair off, a messy centre parting is essential for the 'lob' to look perfectly undone. 

#OOTD, 16th February, Suede Parade

Unless you've been hiding under a rock lately, you will know that the seventies is a HUGE trend for the new season, and I am already loving it. I haven't found my perfect pair of flares yet or that 'just right' fringed bag, but I have bought several vintage suede skirts. This look is inspired mostly by the Chloe SS15 runway, where tan suede was paired with navy. It's still too cold for the gladiator sandals also showcased so instead I've gone for my favourite ankle boots. 

Skirt, eBay. Shirt and boots, New Look (last year). Bag, ASOS (sold out).

When it's finally sunny I'll be wearing this skirt with a simple white t-shirt and platform sandals. Are you loving suede lately too? I'd love to see how you style it, leave me a comment!

#OOTD, 13th February: Dressed Up Double Denim

I'm sooo fed up of Winter weather, so instead I'm looking ahead to Spring. I've been sceptical of double denim in the past but since seeing it all over the SS15 runways looking so chic I thought I'd give it a go. 

Shirt, ASOS. Jeans, Topshop. Boots, H&M (similar here). Clutch, Zara (sold out).

I've had these mom jeans a while and I just love the relaxed shape, they are so comfy. I thought this shirt would be a good staple to have in my wardrobe and I'm already so glad I bought it. As well as been the perfect partner for double denim, the oversize pockets make it a subtle nod to the utility trend that is set to be huge come Spring. I think the heeled boots and clutch dress the denim up a little and I would definitely wear this look out, on the other hand just add a should bag and trainers and you've got yourself the perfect casual-cool look. 

Have you tried out any of the new season trends yet? I'd love to see, leave me a comment!
