Layered up outfit

So it's gone decidedly chilly and instead of wearing a jumper on its own I tend to layer it up with a cotton or flannel shirt underneath. Today I'm wearing a H&M flannel blue shirt and Uniqlo grey cashmere sweater; with Uniqlo still my go to for cashmere basics, although to touch they feel less plush than a few seasons ago. 

I feel smarter pairing a dark wash jean, these are my MiH cropped kick flare pair, with a flat boot and tailored wool coat. Leopard print boots are from Next and camel coat is a M&S Autograph sale purchase both from from last year. Coccinelle mix print cross body bag and oversized cashmere scarf from Zara, also seen before, complete todays look.

Massimo Dutti Camel Wool coat £229

I love this tailored Camel coat at Massimo Dutti and note how they've styled it with a tonal roll neck jumper and velvet waistcoat with the different fabrications breaking up the blocks of colour and adding interest. If you're in an outfit rut then go to your favourite brands website to look at how they've put certain garments together. I often visit the Net-A-Porter or Matches website to look at styling ideas; as they both show a full outfit view. 

In todays outfit builder I've taken the blue from the shirt and chosen a statement boot with blue in the print to pull the shade through. Then I've matched back the deep red of the bag to the nail polish as these small details makes a look considered if you like to look well groomed!
