FIRSTLY this post features some not-so-great photos, I'm going to have to experiment with settings and lighting etc. so bare with me while I get the hang of things - sorry!
Today's blog is the ways I'm going to style my oversized coat throughout Autumn/Winter (which you'll notice features a few items from my September Wishlist). The coat I'm styling is from Topshop (£78) and I am so in love with it! It's thick and warm but doesn't look too heavy, and the oversized style is really flattering.
OUTFIT 1
This is the most simple look in this post, it's entirely monochrome (excluding the lipstick) and overall quite casual which I like. Despite it being relaxed it is still put together and the coat makes it a lot smarter. I've only tucked the top in a bit at the front because this is what I find to be most flattering on my body shape but it's really up to you what suits you best.

OUTFIT 2
This outfit is more put together and more dressed up, however it can be made more casual by swapping the chunky shoes for converse and using a less structured shoulder bag. As this outfit is dark and monochrome I added red bag to integrate some colour. This outfit is also a bit nautical, a theme that the stripes inspired leading me to add the chain and rope effect jewellery and specifically adding red to the outfit.

OUTFIT 3
I suppose this is what you'd call a put together travel look? As I'm going up to Manchester this weekend I felt inspired to do some kind of travelling look, which essentially is just an everyday outfit with a bigger bag but I like to put an idea behind it! I think this dress is perfect for travel as it is really loose and comfy, but still looks pretty.

Hopefully this has provided some inspiration for styling oversized coats which I've seen a lot of in shops at the moment and I can tell will be really popular throughout A/W 2014-15. Also apologies for not knowing all the prices - I do research prices as much as I can but items I got years ago/abroad/as gifts I often can't find out, sorry!
❀Have a lovely day❀
