Silk and Velvet

Silk shirt: vintage

Velvet leggings: Urban Outfitters

Coat: H&M

Shoes: Office

Ring: Topshop

Today is one of those rare but glorious days where I'm not swamped under stacks of homework, so I thought I'd write up this outfit post from the weekend. 

This outfit is currently one of my favourites. I love the combination of silk and velvet which just screams 'grunge'; an aesthetic which I swear by nowadays. I got this shirt quite a while back but I hadn't worn it a great deal until I recently bought these leggings. I'm so pleased to have finally found something to pair it with! 

Recently I haven't been able to put this lipstick down. I particularly love how it looks when paired with my Topshop cross earrings, which I also wore in this post but unfortunately aren't noticeable. When my dad first saw me wearing it he said, "your lips look horrible." Thanks for the confidence boost, dad! I suppose it's not everybody's cup of tea, as I said in an earlier post. Then again, this is coming from a man who parades around on holiday wearing a bum bag and socks with sandals, thinking it's the height of fashion. (Note to self: never take style advice from dad.)

This coat is yet another one which has been borrowed from my sister. One of the advantages of having one or more siblings is that you can borrow and share their clothes, and vice versa. At least I can rely on my sister for her opinion of an outfit, as opposed to my dad. She says that this coat is getting too small for her so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll eventually pass it on to me. I think it's about time that it had a new owner (hint hint). 

Hugs and kisses, Sarah xo
