Vinyl is not as intimidating as you might think…

Vinyl is one of those fabrics that you really didn’t want present in your wardrobe. It squeaks when you move, it’s incredibly shiny and when you put it on you wonder, how in the world am I supposed to pull this off without looking like a number of innapropiate things? Well fashion’s love hate relationship with vinyl is about to take a turn for the better, and this new material is taking our wardrobe’s world by storm. If you haven’t noticed it already, vinyl has been popping up all over the blogosphere and is set to be your new favourite material for 2017. If you feel as though it’s hard to style, I’m hoping my latest look is here to inspire you otherwise. Vinyl is not as intimidating as one might believe…

I found this skirt at Topshop and couldn’t resist. Although I picked it up a while ago, there are some amazing options out there that are similar like this one and this one. The key to vinyl is to make sure that you pair it with neutrals. A black vinyl skirt is paired best with some white. If the weather had permitted I would have ideally liked to have styled it with my new Gucci tee, but although the sun is shining, the temperature continues to drop. I opted for this striped sweater from Reiss. I love that the stripes are actually furry! (faux!) Adding some extra texture in a neutral colour like white is a great way to rock vinyl and get a bit more experimental with your look as well! See not so hard is it?

My week has begun with quite a hectic start – I’ve ben loving that I share a bit more about what’s going on with me through these outfit posts, what do you guys think? I’ve been having a lot of family time this week and I’m so thankful for that – I always find that time with my family really recharges me when I’m feeling a bit tired and low!

To add a bit more TSS to my look, I decided to add some graphic tights to my outfit. Again, these tights are in neutrals which is why I am able to mix all the patterns together with the vinyl and still have it look put together! Would you wear graphic tights?

Now you are all ready and set to get some vinyl in your closet! How will you be styling it?
