MIX & MATCH 


I'm starting to think versatility should be my middle name. I've only gone and done it again, found the perfect party pieces for day and night and more importantly for everyday after that. I am of course talking about the co-ord; 2 pieces, 100 ways! Because yes by all means wear the pieces together but then think about all the other ways you could wear them as seperates. 

Striped Velvet Top  Zara  £19.99
Striped Velvet Trousers  Zara  £19.99
Stiletto Heel Stretch Ankle Boots  Marks & Spencer  £39.50

I picked my co-ord up in Zara, which I must say is one of the best places to go for co-ords every season. This season in particular though they are killing it and all for such amazing prices. Both my top and my trousers were each just under £20.00 so when you think about how many ways yo could wear each piece, your definitely be getting your moneys worth. One thing to watch out on with the trousers, they come up really long. I decided to take mine up a little so I can wear with flats during the day as well as heels.


For all the Christmas parties coming up I'll be going all out with both pieces, my heeled sock boots and a statement earring. But for day the trousers work so well with a sweatshirt and flats. I can wear so many of my knitted jumpers with them, my slogan tees, you name it, I'll be wearing it with theses fabulous velvet trousers. And the top of course can be tucked in to a leather skirt for another evening look, or even worn with ripped jeans for a glam daytime look. 


90s Metal Round Sunglasses  ASOS  £12.00
Faux Fur Jacket  H&M  £49.99 (instore £24.99)
Sweatshirt (old)  similar here
Striped Velvet Trousers  Zara  £19.99
Boots (old)  similar here

Surely now I've talked you into the co-ord you'll want to know what else is available on the high street. Well of course I've done the hard work for you and picked my favourites. 

Buttoned Printed Shirt  Mango  £49.99
High Waist Printed Trousers  Mango  £49.99

I absolutely adore the colours on this Mango one, and because of all the gorgeous colours within the print there is so many options of things to style with each piece.

Flowing Top  Zara  £12.99
Loose Cropped Trousers  Zara  £15.99
T-Shirt with Bow  Zara  £17.99
Striped Trousers  Zara  £17.99

The silver set (above) from Zara is definitely another one I would have gone for, the price for both pieces is just amazing. And these are pieces that will see you right through to Spring and beyond. Chuck some jewels at it for New Years eve, then to take it over to the casual side with a white tee and trainers. 

Striped Satin Blouse  Mango  £29.99
Satin Stripe Trousers  Mango  £49.99
Check Top with Frill Detail  Vila @ ASOS  £35.00
 Check Trousers with Peplum Detail  Vila @ ASOS  £35.00
Tartan Check Structured Top  Pretty Little Thing @ ASOS  £18.00
Tartan Mix Check Flare Trousers  Pretty Little Thing @ ASOS  £22.00

If checks are your thing, and before you ask; yes they most certainly are my thing, then both of these will be right up your street. All you have to do now is decide on frills or flares? For me the flares have the edge at the moment what with the 70's revival going on in fashion land. 

Black Glitter Boucle Cropped Jacket  Cameo Rose @ New Look  £29.99
Black Glitter Boucle Mini Skirt  Cameo Rose @ New Look  £19.99

Now here is one you could wear from office to party with no need for awkward toilet changes. 

So don't forget to treat yourself this Christmas!! You deserve it and when your new items are this versatile, there's no need to feel guilty.
