As the Summer approaches, I’ve taken to adding more colour and pattern choices to my wardrobe. Lately I’ve been combining clashing prints together; sometimes they work, sometimes it doesn’t and when I got these peg legged trousers, I knew that I wanted to combine them with another ‘loud’ print. Enter the monochrome dogstooth fitted blazer from Yours Clothing*.
Although structured, it does allow a bit of give and is thankfully comfortable around the upper back/arm area – a problem I always seem to have to coats and jackets.
I think the monochrome goes great with the vibrant aqua/sea green digital print of the trousers – for work I would probably replace the crop top with a plain grey or black blouse though. The crop top is actually a size 8! I accidently picked up the wrong size and just couldn’t be bothered to return it and somehow, I made it work. Thankfully the style of the crop top is meant to be very oversized/baggy so that worked in my favour. Don’t be scared to look for items outside of your size range because you could be surprised at what you find!

The jacket is absolutely gorgeous, I love the print. I get the problem with it feeling restricted around the arms too so perhaps it's a piece I should be looking at. The clash of prints gives the outfit an edgy vibe :).
