Mono Vibes featuring my Dolls Union #OOTD tee

I was really excited to receive my new #OOTD tee through the post yesterday from Dolls Union and spent a long time thinking about how best to style it to show it off in the way it deserves. Dolls Union have so much fab stuff at the minute, the Baby Pink Co-Ord set is definitely next on my must have list. A big thanks to the team there for the quick delivery.

Headband: Homemade, Tee: Dolls Union, Skirt: F&F @ Tesco, Shoes: Topshop

I'm really pleased with the way this outfit turned out. Whilst I'm still not totally comfortable with the whole being photographed element of this yet, I love putting the outfits together, and a mono tee calls for a mono outfit in my opinion. I've been looking for something else to wear this gorgeous skirt with and it's a total steal at only £30. It's so versatile and could be made to look really feminine if that's your thing. Unfortunately for me it's not my thing at all!

I was thinking along the lines of festival fashion when styling this and whilst I would probably change the footwear choice to something like some DMs, the floral headband and OTT dangly earrings feel really suited to an outdoorsy music event. I just wish I was lucky enough to be heading off to a festival this year, although it's definitely on next year's to-do-list!

Back to the tee though, it fits perfectly, its really comfortable and I think it speaks for itself. It's such a statement item it's no wonder it's had so much publicity - TOWIE's Lauren Pope wore the exact tee recently.

Back to the skirt for now though. If you've never had a browse of the F&F collection I really would recommend it. There's a lot of really luxurious looking stuff that's half the price of a lot of high street brands, the collections keep getting better and better and I'm not at all ashamed to say that I picked up this beauty of a skirt whilst doing the grocery shopping!

Skirt: Available from F&F @ Tesco, £30

Then I thought about what other accessories I would use if I were out and about in this outfit, and came up with what I thought was the perfect solution. My trusty Love Moschino red handbag. Whilst it is a break from the mono look, it's such a statement bag that I don't feel like it really matters, instead I think it really compliments the outfit further. LOVE this bag.

That concludes my ramblings for the day. I hope you've enjoyed the read. Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think of today's outfit and how you would have styled it.

A little bit of rock.

The weather was so drab yesterday that I had a really hard time trying to decide on my outfit of the day. It wasn't especially cold but it was definitely not the summery weather that I'd been hoping for. So I went with this look.

Hat - Urban Outfitters, Top - H&M, Jeans - Topshop Acid Wash Mom Jeans, Shoes - Topshop Maze Brogues

I know it's been said before - I know Lydia at FashionInflux posted recently about how we're going to view Mom jeans in a few years time. Personally I love them and find them very flattering, there's a pastel pair I have my eyes on at the moment, but I agree with Lydia that in a few years time it's highly unlikely that we see them as having been a good fashion choice. But fashion is evolving, not timeless, and so I'm not worried that I'll look back in ten years and wonder what I was thinking, I do that already! What's important is that they work right now, and for me, Mom jeans do.

Bag - Love Label

Detailing - Rings (R-L) from Fun Daisy, Vintage shop, Freedom at Topshop and Magnolia Jewellery

Because it was so breezy I did find I was a bit chilly whilst taking these pics, so I decided to dig out my trusty Topshop biker jacket as I thought it really matched the outfit, I think it was a wise move, especially since I ended up out for most of the day.

I'd forgotten I had these shoes, I love the weave detailing on them and definitely will be featuring them in more posts very soon!

So that's all for now. I'm very excited to be able to tell you about an upcoming collab with BlackTied, I'm thrilled to be working with them and cannot wait to be able to show off my new purchases - they have some amazing pieces and I'm in desperate need of a jewellery update.

I'll also be posting today's outfit later on. It features one of my favourite kimono's that you'll be sick of the sight of by the end of summer but it's beautiful so be sure to check back later.
