January.. Back to basics


So ladies I'm back, sorry I took a while but needed time out with my family. Had a lovely break but back to give you lovely ladies so more looks and inspiration. 
With January which is always a bit meh! Definitely a bit more depressing & blue!
I always find after Christmas is over and January kicks in, the last thing I want to do is look at dressy clothes, perhaps the reason for this is for the entire Christmas period I get dressed up for the majority of it, what with parties, get togethers & family outings..
I am sick to death at looking at my "going out" clothes haha and the penny has suddenly dropped that I actually have hardly any nice casual gear. Now when I say casual ..I mean it loosely as in dressy casual, something like a casual jumper but with a dressy skirt/skinny jeans that looks nice but is still cosy and warm.
I'm talking basic pieces that you have in your wardrobes, items you can mix and match together and still look nice.
Basics such as Dark Jeans, Denim shirt, Plain Jumper, plain coat, or A simple dress,
So with this in mind, I've pulled together a few looks to give you lovelies and idea of what you can do with the basic items in your wardrobe!! Now look 2 is a little more dressy but the coat is always a good basic item to have in your wardrobe...my excuse I'm sticking to it!!
