FROM YOURS TRULY

Like myself, many find wearing colour to be quite daunting and may find it difficult to style. Colour is just colour, all you need is confidence. This may seem obvious and I may sound a little silly pointing this out but it's the truth. It doesn't matter what you wear, it's how you wear it and how you feel that counts. For me, I have my moment of dare devil fashionista, but at times I do struggle to be creative and daring. 

The key to wearing colour is confidence and subtlety. Gradually work colour into you wardrobe whether thats through accessorising, incorporating it into elements of your makeup or in my case, one key piece. I find it much easier to work with one block of colour. This could be a shirt, coat, shoes, dress or bright green pants... I like to pair colour with contrasting tones black and white, which compliment your chosen pop of colour. This also works with a patterned piece. Slowly incorporate it into your look by choosing one key piece to work with. This way the look isn't too over powering but has that little bit extra. People will look at you and envy your confidents and ability to be bold.

If your still shying away from the idea of adding a bright hue within your wardrobe, then invest in a clutch or a pair of shoes.That way it isn't too much going on but still a little something to change up your look. I'm thinking of doing a post showcasing multiple ways to rock colour through the world of accessories, let me know what you think. I hope this post as always inspires you to try and be daring and try out ways to wear all things colour.

If your like me and thinking about what to wear is a stressful task that often results in messy room syndrome, then why not keep it simple. Whenever I'm in a rush or under pressure to get ready I tend to stick to the good old black and white basics- I mean why not make life easy. Besides, these contrasting tones can create such an effortless chic look, no matter what you wear. Black and white are my go to colours and always make an appearance in my daily wardrobe. 

This outfit is simple and easy to rock during the day along with transitioning for a night out. What I love about this look is how simplistic and effortless it looks. Its super comfy and instantly looks put together. It makes me look like Iv'e put loads more effort into the look than I actually have- umm yass! So if your ever unsure or frantically panicking, always remember monochrome is your friend. I dare you to try a daily dose of monochrome madness... 

GRUNGE GIRL :TIED AT THE WAIST

FLAWLESS FARMER : BUTTON UP

This look would have to be the most traditional way to wear any button up shirt. To add that little cowgirl/farmer flair- if the print and colour alone didn't do it for you, then tie the bottom of the shirt at the waist. This just add that little something extra but still very laid back casual. 

FLANNEL CHIC: ON THE SHOULDERS

If you want to look super chic and feel like a fashionista then try out this next look. I call it flannel chic!- so original... Whether your wearing your favourite trench, throw over a comfy cardigan or a flannel shirt, you will always look effortlessly chic and confident. I love this look! 

Hope you all enjoyed this little 'ways to wear' post and that this some what inspires you to try out some of the looks.
