“Style is the perfection of a point of view” Richard Eberhart

Or… “Please may I borrow your point of view…?” Me.

My style is currently in limbo, hence the lack of actual outfit posts. I am trying to ’soften’ my look, following advice from a male friend, but it is SO hard to let go of the black. I’m addicted. So here’s the transtional table, I have to start by mixing black with (shock horror!) other colours and (faint) patterns. Then slowly head to neutral territory, while still firmply grasping a small security blanket bit of black. I can do it. 

It may take some time. And a new wardrobe. And some more money to buy said same wardrobe. 

Image 1 - Love this entire look. On the list goes : Mac, Breton top, decent black shorts and thigh highs.  Via Because I’m Addicted

Image 2 - I have all manner of black glittery things, but should mix with lighter colours. On the list  goes : pale glitzy things. Via Fashion Gone Rogue

Image 3 - How to wear the khaki trend - the incredible Mireia from My Daily Style does it best : with a hoody and leather leggings. 

Image 4 - This kind of colour I can take. On the list goes : navajo style tribal overcoat/cardi. Via Facehunter

Image 5 - Grey! That’s like black, but lighter! I am in love with all things maxi this year. On the list goes : More maxi dresses, more grey. ; ) Via Le Fashion  Image. 

Image 6 - Socks with shoes. I know many hate them, but I like. On the list goes : More socks..more shoes (genuinely, I have a woeful collection.) Via Knightcat. 

Image 7 - Eleganto! I think I might try some of that -see how it fits.On the list goes : Camel cape. Via Facehunter

Anything on your list at the moment?

    Dont leave the black!!!!! Its your thing :)

    Love that burd from mydailystyle, her outfits always look fab. I think in her last post she wears an actual blanket as a cape! Theres loads of soft neutrals in the shops for Spring that would be a good alternative.
