Firstly, apologies for no link up post last week. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that we lost our beautiful cat Henry on January 2nd. I’ve been heartbroken since then and not feeling like blogging or being on social media. Almost two weeks on, it is getting easier, although I have my moments. I had planned on publishing a post last week looking back at the last 12 months, but I just didn’t have the energy or motivation to finish it. So, I decided to skip the weekly link up post for the first time since I started it eight years ago this month. I really didn’t like missing a week, but I never want to do anything half-hearted. I have now finished that post and will publish it tomorrow.
Just before Christmas I was invited to collaborate with StyleWe and chose, amongst other pieces, this standout letter print trouser suit. (You all know how I love a trouser suit!) My first day back at work on Friday was the perfect opportunity to wear it and it certainly prompted some comments!
One of the things that can be tricky when ordering online, especially from somewhere you haven’t bought from before, is sizing. There are measurements for each individual item on the website, and going on those, I selected size small in both the jacket and trousers. I’m usually a UK size 10 and the fit is great. The trousers have an elasticated section in the back so there is some leeway. The fabric is medium weight, but with a roll neck jumper underneath and a faux fur coat over the top, I was plenty warm enough, even in the zero degree chill.
This letter print trouser suit ticks all the boxes for me: it’s colourful, features a bold print…and it’s a trouser suit! I also have the matching shirt which has fabulous balloon sleeves…I will be featuring that soon!

So sorry to hear about your darling cat, it’s awful when we lose a pet isn’t it. Sending you a hug and positive thoughts Emma, love this suit too, you’ve styled it perfectly Xxx Jacqui.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved kitty, Emma. You look great in this trouser suit. The print is amazing and so unusual. The entire outfit is vibrant and just the thing needed for a cold winter day. Thanks for hosting the link up and have a good week!
I’m so sorry about the loss of Henry. It is so heartbreaking because they love us so deeply and unconditionally.
Your trouser suit is so unique! I love the bold graphics of the newspapers (I think that’s what they are…maybe not) as well as the orange to make them pop even more. I can’t believe how well your roll neck jumper matches! And, the faux fur jacket? Gorgeous! Just an amazing look all round! Thanks so much for the link up!

Henry will stay in your heart forever. Our Teun died 2 years ago and we still talk about him. Cats are so special, well pets in general of course. At first I thought you were wearing a hoody! Your hair looks fantastic! What a great suit, very unique!
Fun outfit!
