Retro Paisley Suit + Style With a Smile Link Up

We all have our favourite brands, the ones we return to time and time again. For me, one of those is The Hippie Shake. The retro prints and styles make a statement without straying into fancy dress territory. (Well, at least I don’t think so!). I’ve bought many things from them, including my all time favourite suit. When the team behind The Hippie Shake announced they were taking an extended break and held a massive sale, I couldn’t resist another purchase! I’d had my eye on this retro print paisley suit for a while, so a generous discount gave me the kick to finally buy it.

The colour of the blouse picks out the bright blue in the paisley print and contrasts nicely with the rust brown

Previously, I’d never been much of a fan of paisley but there was something about this suit that caught my eye. The trousers are quite a thin fabric, so not really suitable for very cold weather. However, it hasn’t been too cold lately so I seized the opportunity to wear them. It just so happened that a few months ago I bought this Boopala blouse on Vinted. The colour of the blouse picks out the bright blue in the paisley print and contrasts nicely with the rust brown. I remembered that I had a pair of tan ankle boots to compliment the faux croc crossbody bag. I’m getting brave now and venturing away from trainers occasionally! It’s hat season so I completed the look with a burnt orange baker boy cap.

    I love this paisley retro suit, Emma! And, yes, I’m a huge fan of paisley! I almost think of it as a neutral these days. I think that blue top really does pop against the print of your suit, and, as always, you’ve styled it fabulously! Thanks so much for the feature and for this week’s link up! I hope you’ll join us for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!
