#OOTD 20s style for your 20s

I have been feeling classic lately, it all started after watching Downton Abbey this Sunday, when Elizabeth got a 20's hair cut and became a 'new woman'. The episode had me pining for a 20's beauty look, and a quick fix for the fringe (bangs) I cut which I am now sorely regretting. The solution? Pin the hair back in a mock pin curl. More on the beauty side of the look later- the point is, that the hair sparked my decision to keep the theme & so I went for a complimenting simplistic 20's look with this H&M fur collar coat and mustard shift dress from Cos. Paired with ankle socks and we have a contemporary take on a classic look.

The dress I got from Cos, last season, but the great news is they have this very similar shift dress- most importantly in Mustard, which is basically the most important part, as the contrast in the black and yellow is what makes this look pop. The coat is in H&M, this season and in stock and was made from recycled wool from their renewable fashion range. How it works is you bring in your old clothes, and get £5.00 off your next purchase, and they recycle the material to make keep the fashion circle going. It is brilliant to see a brand being responsible, and being given £5.00 to get rid of unwanted clothes isn't too bad either. What is the best part is this is a wool coat, for £59.00! Thats a bargain!

LFW STREET STYLE ; An Asian Lesson in style, Outside Simon Gao Show

The statement is in the jacket, which his mum designed and made. No, she is not a designer, but a self taught passionate fashion lover. Customising is key to having outstanding personal style.

 I asked her, and no she doesn't always dress like a fairy... just depends on her mood... Either way I am enchanted with this look. The pastels are so in season.

 Just over all bad ass.
