Teddy Coat, Take Two

WOW hasn't it been a while since I did a style post?! It feels like it was ages ago that I picked a couple of outfits, grabbed my photographer friend Heidi, and drove to a beautiful location to snap some fashion inspiration for you guys. But we had an opportunity to do exactly that and shoot some exciting content in the beautiful Stourhead so I grabbed the opportunity to shoot a couple of extra outfits whilst out and about - one of them was this cosy teddy coat and baker boy hat combo.

The baker boy hat is the trendiest hat around and a 2017/18 must have accessory. I resisted for a long time before I finally decided I need to have it in my wardrobe - after seeing my Instagram feed flooded with images of fashion bloggers in baker boy hats! I'm absolutely in love with my one from ASOS, and wear it with sweaters and jeans (like in this post) or with dresses and ankle boots when going out. It's the perfect cover up for bad hair days too!

And what coat is the perfect pair for a baker boy hat? It has to be the teddy coat. Can I just remind everyone that I was rocking this coat back in 2015?? Haha a blast from the past but still a favourite item in my wardrobe. I think I get points for best clothing recycling here. The key to a teddy bear coat is to keep it simple - the texture creates all the drama you need! Keep it to neutral block colours, and wear your teddy coat with jeans and a sweater for the casual cool look to wear during the day.

I love a little bargain hunt for fashion pieces - I found these gorgeous GUESS boots in TKMaxx for around £40! I just had to get them. Thigh high boots in neutral colours make your legs look longer - a great tip for all of you right here! I just love the whole neutral colours theme - even though I've been told apparently these are 'not my colours' but if I'm being honest I think this whole 'what colours suit you' thing is a little bonkers and restrictive - if you like red, wear read. If you like black, wear black. I like white and nude, so I'm going to wear white and nude. Well, not nude literally because no one needs to see that! Do you stick to a colour palette, or do you just wear whatever you want to wear? I think it gives you so much more freedom when picking outfits!

I really hope you enjoyed this post - I'm going to try and create more fashion content for you guys because I know a few of you wanted to see that based on the feedback from my Instastories and Twitter polls! It's just been absolutely insanely busy with Dalry Rose Digital in the past year that I haven't had much time to focus on my own content - so just bear with me whilst I'm getting into a routine of managing the business and still blogging full time too.
