Structured bags and buttoned-up plaid

"You don't have to carry a designer bag that costs more than a car to look cool."
- Kesha 

After we chose and ordered this bag on Persunmall (which was hard considering how many awesome bags there 

are) they contacted us to say there had been a mix up with colours and the bags that were meant to be black 

had arrived in mint. Now that it has arrived, we are actually really happy this mix up did happen since we love the

 mint! It's going to be perfect for spring and summer, and this outfit didn't look nearly as cool before I finished off 

with the bag! I really liked how it brought out some of the different tones in the plaid (and made it look a bit more 

put together!)

lipstick - Rimmel Kate Moss in  'Kiss of Life' (111)

nail polish - Butter London in 'Diamond Geezer'

leggings, boots - Glassons

heart necklace - thrifted

shirt c/o frontrowshop

bag c/o persunmall

I was inspired to fish out my "Diamond Geezer' polish after seeing it in the nail polish feature on WhoWhatWear,

 they said Butter make the best metallics and I wholeheartedly agree with that! I only have the silver but will have 

to introduce the bronze and silver sometime in the future for sure!

I also read a really interesting commentary this week on fashion advice by Rebecca from The Clothes Horse . I

 think she made some really great points about how fashion advice and societies ideals shouldnt have to restrict 

you creatively and fashion wise etc. So if you are looking for something to read that makes you think, I've included

 the link above :).
