Bold and Bright Winter

"I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet."

- Carrie Bradshaw

Who said you ave to wear boring clothes in Winter?! If anything, Winter is the perfect time to wear the most outrageous of outfits; bright colours, bold prints and a combination of textures. If people stare... you've done it right. It's dull and grey out there, that doesn't mean that your outfit has to follow suit.

As most of my friends and family know, I love wearing bright colours, I love standing out... I don't like blending in and looking like everyone else... how boring. Don't get me wrong, occasionally I wear neutral earthy colours (off course I jazz such outfits up), but more than anything, bright bold colours make me feel good and put me in a positive frame of mind.

Gucci SS 2011- Colour Blocking

So as another dull and miserable day showed is ugly face, I decide to wear this a bright and bold outfit. I took my inspiration from Gucci's 2011 campaign, which saw models strut the catwalk in colour blocked outfits and gold. I particularly liked the orange and purple combinations and decided to use those colours for my outfit.

For ages I had been looking for the perfect bag to go with my Misguided orange jumper dress and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and detail of this stunner, which I found on the Miss Pap website. I decide to team up the combo with these fierce Indigo thing high boots, from Lotd.com. To finish off the look I added simple gold jewellery and a bold purple lip, courtesy of Mac Cosmetics.
