When it’s this cold, don’t leave your coat at home…

So I’ve been stuck in my bed fighting off a horrible cold (Gasp! I had to skip spin… it upset me very much to miss the Craig David themed right…) but I wanted to share this outfit that I photographed a little while ago. I don’t need to tell you how cold it is… you know how cold it is. Rather, you can feel how cold it is whenever you step outside the house and you wonder to yourself… how many more sleeps till we wake up and the sun is shining and it’s spring already? Even the cherry blossoms outside my house are impatient….

But, even in the bitter cold there is something sweet – there is no other time that we can pull out all our super cozy coats and feel as snuggly as we would right now. Take this fabulous coat for example from Topshop. It’s like a giant white teddy bear constantly hugging me to keep me sheltered from the bitter bitter wind of London. I mean what more could you ask for? It even looks fabulous! Don’t you agree?

The creamy white colour of the coat makes it feel even more chic. I paired it with my favourite black and white pieces of the moment. If you were reading yesterday, you would have seen that plaid is a pattern that is here to stay (It’s all over the resort scene – you can read more about that and how to incorporate those trends for 2017 now right here!) This skirt is the right pattern as well as the right fit to match the coat perfectly!

I paired the skirt with another favourite of the moment – a high neck black sweater with sheer sleeves (Scroll down to see more details!) The sleeves are not only mesh, but also polka dotted! (Another resort trend down!) The whole fit of it comes together so well and I love that there are so many little details! I completed the outfit with a vintage suede Fendi bag found in the back of my mums closet (Thanks mom!!)

In other news I’m considering doing something new to my hair. I love how short it is now and I love curling it because it’s such a great change from my usual straight slick hair – but do you guys have any other ideas for something I could try? A new cut? Please feel free to share!

Although this coat is one that I bought ages ago, It’s still one that I can’t stop wearing! It’s kept me cozy and happy in the worst of weather and the best part is, it’s from Topshop! I’ve found some similar ones for you guys here and on sale from ASOS and here from Revolve for under £120 so you can get the look and feel it too!

Recreate my look with these pieces:

How are you combatting the cold?
