Simply Be Colourful

Woohoo! Look at all that colourful clobber!

We were recently contacted by Simply Be about putting together a couple of looks. I think it’s fair to say that both of us are going through a slight style transformation at the moment, so we were both quite excited to put new outfits together!

Victoria is currently channeling her inner Sporty Spice on the daily and is fully embracing what we like to call, soft play chic. She’s all about the comfy but fashionable attire and jersey bottoms have very much become the order of the day! After years of only really wearing dresses, this feels like quite the sartorial revolution. Her Side Piped Jersey Trousers* fit the bill just perfectly and look just dandy teamed with black Black Lace Up Pumps* and a colourful striped boyfriend tee*.

If you haven’t been following us on Instagram then you may not know that Jo is expecting baby number two in September. Therefore, a whole new wardrobe (and a whole new shape to dress) is very much on the cards! She plumped for this eye popping Blue Leopard Print Midi Shirt Dress*,which does a fantastic job of covering a multitude of sins. It’s also button-up so, looking to the future, will be just the job for breastfeeding post pregnancy. Win! She teamed it with a baby blue Circle Bag* and some seriously dreamy peach Vans Filmore Deacon Trainers*.

We love it when an email arrives in our inbox from a brand we haven’t heard of before. It’s always so exciting discovering a new website to browse, especially when it’s full of pieces we love! So we were excited to hear from Fashion World who invited us to put together a couple of outfits featuring their winter essentials! They have SO much good stuff and there’s still time to order for Christmas, if you’re quick!

Jo was immediately smitten with the Sylvia Stripe Dress by Monsoon* and was determined to build an outfit around it! It’s such a flattering and easy to wear style, with a super stretchy jersey fabric (perfect for this indulgent season!). It’s just so flippin’ comfy and there’s zero ironing required, always a win! We always appreciate a dress than can be worn with all varieties of shoe, and we think this frock looks just as fabulous teamed with Jo’s Simply Be Patent Boots* as it would do with heels. To finish off her look, Jo added a yellow Wool Beret by Accessorize which goes perfectly with the rainbow chevrons on the dress and totally nails the colour block trend! Woo!

Victoria decided to fully embrace the Christmas spirit by wearing an actual Silver Tinsel Jumper*. It’s SO cool and an easy way to add some festive sparkle to any outfit at all. How awesome would it look with a sequin skirt? Blingtastic! For this outfit, she decided to dress it down with some Spot Side Tapered Jersey Trousers which she described as “so comfortable it’s like I’m wearing my pyjamas in public”. Is there higher praise than this? As you can tell, we are really into easy to wear fashion and these trousers, with their lovely detailing, are the perfect way to look like you’ve made an effort when really they’ve been lying on your bedroom floor. She finished off her outfit with a pair of trusty Chelsea Boots*, an absolute wardrobe staple.

Both outfits came in at under the £100 mark (Victoria actually chose a couple of tops to layer under her jumper too! ) which we think is pretty great value. Let us know if you’re a Fashion World shopper or if you’re tempted by any of the items we chose!
