#OOTD: 27th March 2015, Seventies Platforms

I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with suede. There, I said it! I've gone and bought another suede skirt but this one is extra beautiful so it was necessary. I'm also completely obsessed with this whole seventies vibe, as you are probably very aware. I can't get enough of platforms, flares and suede, it's definitely my favourite look for Spring.













Jumper, H&M (similar here). Skirt, Beyond Retro. Boots, Topshop (old, similar here).

How pretty is this skirt? I can't wait to wear it over the Summer with platform sandals and a t-shirt. Although I'm already tall, I couldn't resist these Topshop boots, they are veeeery high though so not for the clumsy or faint-hearted! 
I think transitional outfits are always the the hardest because you can never really predict the weather, but layers are key. You can always add or take off a jacket or knit so they are ideal to pair with bare legs at this time of year.

#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.
