Thought i'd do quite a quick blog post today and show you an outfit i wore yesterday that i really liked. It's quite a versatile outfit which you can wear in warm or cold weather, although maybe not super hot weather as it's based around the colour black, so you may get too hot. All the links too each item of clothing will be in the list below however some of the items i cannot find so i will just state where they are from. 
Enjoy :) 
Top - Asos
Leggings - Internacionale 
Denim Jacket - Primark
Bag - Newlook
Necklace - Forever 21
Sunglasses - Topshop
Shoes - I brought these at a store in Italy so do not know
where they're from, sorry!

How I Style: Oversized Tee's

Baggy/oversized tee's, i find, are one of the hardest items of clothing to make wearable. They are one of those things that look incredible on the model but when you come to trying to make it work on your self, it becomes a struggle. Last week I thought i would just bite the bullet and order this plain white one from asos (size 2, and its still this huge!) as i wanted to challenge my self and share with you how i ended up styling it. 
 The first look is for when the weathers a bit more chilli and is quite casual, however you could still dress it up or down deepening on the shoes and jacket you wear with it. I chose to tie the tee into a baggy, messy crop top and pair it with some black disco pants. I'm actually really loving this look and have worn it quite a bit since discovering it. 
 I think any outfit including an oversized tee, needs a statement necklace. For both my looks i chose a statement necklace as i feel it really ties the look together and makes it look more like an outfit, rather than some baggy pjs! 
 The second look is for a more dressed up, day time look in summer. I chose to go all out and where the top as a dress, which at first i was a bit spectacle about but once i paired it with the statement necklace, an oversized cardigan and some small heeled boots, the outfit suddenly became whole and i surprisingly love it. 
Have you tried making the baggy tee trend work? Let me know in the comments, i'd love to know how you style it! Also, sorry the photo quality isn't great, the lighting was awful the day i took these photos.
