Regular readers will know that I’m a big fan of the-Bias-Cut.com (I even modelled for the website a couple of years ago). I’ve bought some of my favourite items of clothing from this fabulous online boutique, so I can’t resist treating myself to something when there’s a sale on. I absolutely love animal print and believe you can never have too much! This Scotch & Soda Safari shirt is a great addition to my wardrobe because I can also wear it as a jacket (so I guess you could call it a “shacket”).
The belt gives it structure and defines the waist; to my relief it doesn’t sit too high for my long torso. The popper fastenings are strong and secure so there’s no chance of them coming undone. I also love the positioning of the pockets; the side pockets are on an angle and also close with popper fastenings. It’s such a versatile piece and I can’t wait to style it lots of different ways. Teaming this Scotch & Soda Safari shirt and jeans with ankle boots creates a smart casual look…an outfit I might wear for shopping, going out for lunch and all those other activities that we’ve been denied recently. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we can do those things again.
To keep the colour palette simple I’ve added a brown shoulder bag and gold jewellery. I bought the earrings on sale at Anthropologie recently – they’re still available here reduced even more to just £11!
SHOP THE LOOK
Isobel joined me in her own “shacket” and a skort we bought on eBay for just a few pounds. I’d quite like a skort for myself, albeit a longer one. You don’t see many of them for adults, and when you do they’re usually reserved for sporting activities. This line of thought may spark a new eBay search!

What a fun print and I’ve never heard of a shacket before but I love pieces you can wear multiple ways! I’m sure you will get a lot of wear from this!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend 🙂 It’s a rainy winter day here!
Hi Emma!
I love your top, the belted style is so flattering with your dark wash jeans. Your sunnies look so good with this combination of neutrals.
thanks for linking!

What a great top, Emma! I love the print and the belted style. It is so pretty and it looks great with a simple pair of skinny jeans and those cute boots! And Isobel is such a little style icon, isn’t she?! I love that skirt and her red boots. What perfect styling!
