Flowers + Leather



I swear if I find floral print skinnies I'm wearing them with this top half!



Blazer & kitten heels: Zara. (These heels get the look). Shirt: Thrift shop (found a similar one here). Embossed clutch: ASOS. Faux leather trousers: H&M (other pants here or here). Shades: Rayban Wayfarer. 

Getting more into mixing prints. (Like this dress post).  The shirt was found about 2 months ago. The dull faded print and transparency sold it for less than $8.  I've noticed loads of good shirts are at thrift and vintage spots.  Definitely have a look. This one posted before here is still a favourite.

Leather skinnies I love are never in my budget so I go with fauxs which are made good enough now anyway (these were a steal price wise). As for the jacket. You already know I was stalking it after this post.  I haven't found a good one in all the thrift shop visits I make so I knew I'd get this one.

As for the kitten heels. They're baaaaack.
