There’s no escaping the fact that Summer is on its way out, but that doesn’t mean we have to pack away the floral prints, it’s a trend that can work all year round, for both casual and more formal looks. Wearing a bright and bold jacket is such an easy way to transform an otherwise plain outfit, and the bright colours in this Star by Julien Macdonald blazer really stand out against the black trousers and top. The fabric is quite thin so it’s ideal for the Summer, but it could also work under an oversized coat in Winter. I kept accessories simple with my new Mila Blu leather bag (which I absolutely love!) and vintage court shoes. The only other hit of colour is the tassel necklace which was an absolute bargain at £3!
Jacket: Star by Julien Macdonald (Debenhams), top: F&F, trousers: Asos, bag: Mila Blu (from Brand Alley), necklace: Freedom at Topshop, shoes: vintage, sunglasses: Karl Lagerfeld.
The jacket looks fab against the black. And you’d never know the necklace was only £3. I’m holding onto as many summer outfits as I can, with my fingernails! Time enough for Autumn wear when we’re really in the grip of Autumn!
Love, love, love the colors in your jacket!! 😀
Your jacket is gorgeous! Love the print and the contrast against the black!

Thank you Petite Silver Vixen! I’m with on keeping Summer going as long as possible. Already the nights are drawing in, which immediately makes me think of the blog photo-taking limitations! Given that we often don’t get much of a Summer in the UK you have to wring every last drop out of it!
