Outfit Post: Monochrome

Blazer : H&M // Skirt : SugarLips Boutique // Bralette : MotelRocks // Shoes : eBay // Chain : Penneys

Monochrome has been a big trend for Spring/Summer this year, and so I thought it would be nice to give you my take on it. I wanted to make sure that my outfit was still fun and playful despite the lack of colour, so I chose my pieces wisely. I used to stray away from white pieces, as I was always afraid that I’d end up spilling something all over them and ruin them completely. But when I saw this beautiful crisp blazer in H&M recently, I set my fears aside and took the plunge into white! I guess its sort of like a Grown-Up blazer, one that I cant eat ice-cream in, or roll down hills in, but I’m ok with that.

My new Grown-Up blazer just happened to go perfectly with this SugarLips skirt, which you got the teeniest peek of in a previous outfit post. (see here) So what’s the best way to jazz up a white-on-white ensemble? Throw in a bitta midriff of course! This sequinned bralette from MotelRocks gave just the right amount of oomph to the look with its cropped cut and pretty sequins. Topped off with a gold chain and some funky platforms, and you’re good to go! Now if only I could wear this to one of those fabulous black&white parties on Gossip Girl!

In other news, I am delighted to announce that I’ve been chosen as a “StreetTeam Stylist” for one of my favourite online shops, MotelRocks! It means I’ll be taking part in loads of fun exciting tasks, including styling some of their amazing new pieces into some fun looks for my blog, yippee! I’m so happy as Motel is a brand that I have loved collaborating with before, they have a great team working for them, and not to mention their clothes are sick. It also means that you can still avail of my 20% discount for Motel, just enter in the code “WildChildCiara” at the checkout!
