dress worn as top - asos, shorts, coat & shoes - topshopthis dress required some serious tucking in to make it pass off as a top. i hate it when you want to wear a top or a dress with something high waisted, but it's so chunky or there's so much of it that it's soo difficult to tuck it in and not look like you're wearing a nappy!
i bought this coat after seeing a couple of my favourite bloggers (trini and bekah) wearing it. it just so happened to go into the sale and i knew i needed it. it's a bit light for winter weather really, especially with its shorter sleeves, but i'll still wear it. it's going to be just right for spring. this is about as far as i'll go with trying leopard print... i want to love it, but it's just really not 'me'. a collar like this or a belt is as far as i can go without feeling too.. tacky? it looks great on others but really not on me.
I've been wanting that coat for so long! but couldn't find it in my local topshop sale which was a shame. It's so so lovely! and so is your outfit, love the shorts xo
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that your necklace and ring match! Such coordinating skills going on there!
ReplyDeleteLovely coat, it's very 50s (my fave decade ;)
ReplyDeletetehe.

I always have that problem when tucking stuff into high waisted skirts / shorts. The leather shorts worked well though no nappy look here. I really like that coat on you, I got it in same too but I think it looks better on darker haired girls because of the colour of the collar x
ReplyDeleteYou look effortlessly stylish!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in leather shorts!
I forget to mention it earlier, but I am loving the new header font!
Love this look!
ReplyDeleteI would wear it myself:)
Wearing a dress as a top can be nice but when you need to go to the toilet it's like hell haha
xx
take a look if you want to:

this coat is beyond amazing and it suits you perfectly!
ReplyDeletei love those triangle necklaces!! where did you get them?! x
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of black and white with a touch of leopard : it says something like "I'm classy , but I'm also wild!"

Seus olhos são tão meigos e gostei da roupa está elegante
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about leopard print. I always feel like a cougar on the prowl at the local bar, and actually, I don't think it looks good on most people. The collar is just enough!
ReplyDeleteLove the shirt, love the shorts, love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous outfit :) :)
ReplyDeleteI love the coat so much, its perfect

love the coat! and your cool necklaces :-)
ReplyDeletewow i would have never thought that was a dress, you did a great job making it look like a blouse
ReplyDeleteoh that coat is SO perfect, i fell in love with it months ago but i bought my staple winter coat and i can't justify buying another :(
ReplyDeletethe dress as a top works lovely, what dress is it? x
The coat is perfect on you! I really love the long necklace you have on too!

I wanted that coat sooo much when it was at full price but since I already have a bunch of other winter coats I felt guilty buying it. Then when it was in the sale they only had the green version left in my local Topshop...not as lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou look AMAZING as usual, I am in love with your style :)
I know what you mean about the bulky shirt thing I do it all the time!
ReplyDeleteIt did come to my rescue last week when I (drunkenly) ripped my skirt, my dress/top was actually a saviour haha.
You look really lovely. x.
Great outfit. I love the shorts.
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect look! I like it!
ReplyDeletei love your necklaces! where did you get them from?
ReplyDeleteI think the leopard print looks great on you, it's subtle enough not to take the attention away from the rest of the outfit.
ReplyDeleteThe leather shorts look fab with that top(dress) btw xoxo
rock and romantic at the same time, I love this outfit.
ReplyDeleteyour blog is such an inspiration!
ReplyDeletesame here! i really don't like leopard, but on others it looks fine...
ReplyDeleteVery lovely look. I agree with the leopard thing, I want to love it, but I just look like Bianca from Eastenders when I wear it...not a good look. You look good with this little flash in the collar.x
ReplyDeletelove the coat!!! you and trini are two of my favourite bloggers!! you've got a special vintage style I do love!!!!kisses from barcelona!!
ReplyDeleteWow i love this whole outfit! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe shorts are gorgeouss!

ReplyDeleteHave just stumbled upon your blog and have to say that your style is really inspiring! Love this outfit as I am a massive fan of leather! xo
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the outfit, especially the coat! Does anyone happen to have a link to it on the topshop website, because I can't seem to find it? If you could, it would be very helpful! xx
ReplyDeleteI love this look the most of all your looks!
