I did mention a few blog posts back that I have really stepped up my style lately. In my opinion; I’ve always known how to dress but when I stepped into my 30’s I started to REALLY work on my personal style. I think this has come out a lot more this year from the shoots I did with Katie Ryan Creations and some of the earlier shoots I did with my mum. What I realised however is that I hadn’t shot many formal outfits. One’s where I show how I dress up smart!
I have always had a thing for blazers and own a fair few, but what I realised is that I don’t own any suits. This is actually pretty bizarre to me, but I think it comes down to the fact that within the work I do (I am a Career Consultant by occupation) I have always worked for organisations that have allowed me to not have to wear them so there really hasn’t been a need to.
However, suits are never out of fashion and really help you to level up your style. As I didn’t have suits in my closet I decided to experiment and teamed two different shades of Yellow together. The result is a beautiful, show-stopping head-turning number that I am now planning to wear out to my next event.
None of the items I styled in this look are brand new and come directly from my closet. I honestly cannot tell you how difficult it is to be a shopaholic but one who is trying to shop less. It’s actually a living hell! However, for the sake of this look, I also found the fun in exploring my existing closet and seeing what I could create.

Making a Statement in My Pink Feather Boohoo Dress
I have made the decision to only purchase outfits that turn heads and I think I achieved that with this dress. It has been over a year since I have shot outfit posts outside so it was essential that my return to pound the pavement was a momentous one.
H&M X Mugler – The Standout Pieces
Whenever H&M announce a collaboration, those in the fashion know stand up and listen. Many collections have dropped over the last few years but none more anticipated than the union between the iconic brand Mugler. The house of Mugler is described as a transformational force in the fashion world, loved for its inclusive and boundary-pushing aesthetic. I for one have been an heavy appreciator of this design house so I was excited to hear of this match in fashion heaven.
The Finest Green Co-Ord You Need
Stylish, sophisticated, good quality and affordable. This co-ord ticks all the boxes. I will continue to sing about just how great co-ords are for the modern woman’s closet. You can create three outfit options by purchasing one co-ord outfit. Not only is this cost-effective but it saves you time because once you put the three looks together, you can grab and go. Fashion made easy.
