'Is that a some red and blue I see before me?' I hear you ask. YES! Don't have a heart attack, but I am actually wearing something colourful. I know it's not all the colours of the rainbow, but for me, red and blue is a breakthrough.

I've actually had this shirt for years. I bought it from a vintage store in London when I was 18, and it's been a timeless addition to my wardrobe. I was worried that it wouldn't work with my hair and that I'd have to banish it to a draw for a time when I could wear it again, but I think it actually works quite well, especially with this leather cut-out skirt from Pretty Lavish .

I've never really been much of a skirt person. I think being quite curvaceous makes it hard to find skirts other than pencil skirts that are flattering for your shape, but I thought I'd give this ago seeing as it was in the sale. I love the detailing, and it's the kind of skirt that can be dressed up and down.

This outfit is a bit mish-mash, but it works and I don't really know why. I feel like it shouldn't. There's a lot going on, but I feel the textures and patterns contrast but compliment at the same time.

The heart motif tights have become my new favourite accessory. I also bought some polka dot ones too. The sheerness of the tights give them a grunge edge, whilst the heart / polka dot motif adds a touch of feminine kitsch.

This outfit is a prime example of why you should play around with what you've got i your wardrobe. You may be surprised as to what items work well together. You could end up with a whole new outfit.
