 I think the weather has stripped me of my pastel attire, I'm not sure what's happening to be but in a way I kind of like it. Sometimes it's nice to mix things up, right? 

I've been cheating on pastels with texture and details. With the velvet cardigan/jacket, the suede and leather bag, the space thread effect on the top and the pin tuck on the waist band. Although the look is neutral the mix of textures draws your eye to really appreciate the detailing which can often be overlooked if theres a bit too much going on.

 This works really well as a smart look, I wasn't doing anything which particularly needed tailoring but it was how I felt on the day. Especially as I have been exploring more casual looks recently I craved something polar opposite. However I have to admit this was still extremely comfy... okay, minus the shoes!
