Sporty Chic for Spring

As we all muster up the courage to ditch our thick coats in exchange for light tops, jackets, and even cardis for those brave enough - I guess we can officially say hello to spring!

The colour yellow is omnipresent at the moment, and I would definitely say it's THE colour this season. But if I’m frank, it’s never been my colour, especially not the pale yellow that I associate spring with. Ironically, my new favourite trainers are mustard yellow - maybe this is because I have found the ‘right’ shade of yellow that works for me...

I saw these shoes on the Zara website a few weeks ago, and they really caught my eye because they are completely different to any pair of trainers I currently own. Mustard and white, raised streaks AND platforms: futuristic or what? 

As I catch glimpses of what the people of London are drifting towards this season, bright colours prevail (and I mean a whole lot of them!) We’re talking people nonchalantly strolling around in bright blues, oranges, pinks, greens, and so on. I'd be lying if I said I didn't admire this audacious kind of colour-combining. 

Having already established that I am not an avid enthusiast of the colour yellow, I am also not so keen on combining too many different colours in one look. However, I definitely faced my fears with this outfit and came to the realisation that in order combat your excess colour-combining phobias, you should just keep the most colourful item as far away from your eyes as possible! In other words, get yourself a pair of colour pop shoes! (It works!)

Here, I decided to combine my colour pop sneakers with some simple black skinnies, a black denim biker jacket, a grey jumper, a cute black leather backpack and of course, some beaut cat eye sunglasses.

Fashion is all about balance, it’s neither about replicating what you’ve seen in a magazine from top to bottom, nor seeking to put together an outfit which mimics what a blogger is wearing because 'that’s the exact way you’re meant to put such items of clothing together.' This is why fashion is so great: there is no specific 'way'! Inspiration is excellent - without a doubt. But personal style is about working with what you've seen and injecting your own touch by combining items in a certain way to make the outfit YOU!

See you guys in the next post,

Love, Nicole x
