Class of 2021…with the trending ‘Harvard’ sweatshirt, the streets look littered with Harvard grads. I’ve always adored a preppy American style and fell instantly in love with the Zara Harvard popping red sweatshirt. My style is vast, but I usually pick a dressy style over relaxed. Now of course, with a sweatshirt I am instantly inclined to pair the piece with blue or white jeans or joggers. But…having come across a stunning look in Vogue where the stylist mixed smart & casual perfectly by mixing a sweatshirt and a midi skirt, I fell in love!

Using the Vogue look as inspiration, I fled to the Zara skirt section where I found this killer midi black skirt with gold button detailing and ultra sassy side split. Tucking in the Harvard sweatshirt I loved the look; the skirt clinched in at the waist perfectly and added a chic aesthetic. Finished with black courts the outfit works perfectly for a city lunch break.

HELLO MARCH!

The British weather in March can be so confusing; one minute we get downpours and grey sky, the next unexpected rays of sunshine. This outfit is a fab look for this time of year. You can easily throw on a jacket or coat to suit the weather.

I’ve owned these Mango cream flowing trousers for a few years now and I just adore them. The quality, fit and length is perfect. Here I tucked the trouser into my cream Mango boots for a billowing effect. This styling technique is an effective way to wear long flowing trousers without the worry of the cuff getting dirty in wet weather.

The trousers look great with a crop style; it shows the tie waist belt detailing. This Zara pale pink shirt has a satin look which adds femininity. The balloon sleeve, collar and small button details turn this plain style into chic and the gold Zara body chain necklace is a great accessory addition.

ZARA WHITE SUMMER TOPS

Blue denim and white is a Summer classic; a style combo that I recycle year after year. It’s such a simple fusion that always looks chic. Zara is the Queen of white Summer tops/shirts, they have endless variations; countless unique design combinations. As Summer is nearing I have styled my two favourite Zara white tops with a denim skort and jeans. The long sleeve poplin cropped white shirt, with cross over front and open back is a killer style; who knew a plain white shirt could be so innovative and flirty. The long sleeves are decorated with button fastenings, creating a gaping effect. I paired this crop top with blue denim jeans, my red Coach belt and silver shoes. The second Zara top is a ruched strappy, crop top. This top is perfect for warmer weather and looks super cute paired with denim. I styled the top with a Zara denim skort, Gucci belt and brown faux leather sliders. Such a classic S/S vibe. I’m certainly looking forward to the warmer weather.
