Underground Style

Underground Style by emilyrodgers18 featuring imitation leather pants

I spotted a girl wearing this outfit on the tube the other day and had to share it. A casual, effortless look. Some staple pieces with slight embellishments and layering just made it stand out. In essence it's a jumper, trousers and boots, but it's not just what she was wearing but how she was wearing it. She had rolled up the loose sleeves of the grey knit to show the cuffs of the shirt which were unbuttoned and folded to ensure a simple gold watch became visible on her wrist. A few plain gold bands dotted on different fingers and a nice neutral nail colour really finished off the look. Four words to sum it up: baggy, simple, city chic. 

Lusting after: Leather Skirt

Lusting after Leather by emilyrodgers18 featuring warehouse

I have been lusting after this leather skirt from Missguided for a while now, but it's always out of stock. I am checking online every single day until I get my hands on it. 

You may have noticed a few leather skirts cropping up on the high street. I myself have seen them in Ark, H&M and Topshop, which is where the one above is from. 

The trend compliments the 90's theme of garments in the shops at the moment, and having bought a few items from my birth decade (love for the nineties babies out there!) I cannot wait to put them together with this leathery friend. 

I created this outfit to show you how I would wear it. I am a sucker for a baggy jumper as you may have seen on other posts. Its definitely what I feel most confident in, and you can never go wrong with one. This ox-blood jumper is cropped, in keeping with the trend and shows off the entire skirt. A bag, a bit of jewellery (a statement necklace stops the jumper looking plain) and some gorgey shoes will tie this whole look together and you can walk the streets among your fellow nineties fans knowing you have the trend bang on.

Put some spice girls on whilst you're getting ready.  

Baggy Jumpers, Summer Nights

Baggy Jumpers Summer Nights by emilyrodgers18 featuring a knit sweater

I love baggy jumpers and cardigans, they are my 'go-to' security piece if I'm not sure what to wear. Which is why I've played around and made these 3 outfits, all very similar, and all perfect for a summer night. 

Colourful jeans, with a wooly knit to keep you warm if your out and about having a BBQ (unlikely in this weather!) Or a light cotton sweater with pastel jeans for a nice meal, not too dressed up, not too casual and really really comfy!

I'm going out for dinner tonight and I thought this look would be perfect. I'm wearing that jumper I got from my Mum which you can see here, and some pale blue jeans which I haven't worn for ages! 

For accessories, I bought a small brown leather shoulder bag from Hospice, (post to come) and a couple silver rings from eBay.

Maybe not everyones cup of tea, but this style is on trend, easily worn, and suitable for most occasions, whats not to love!
