Hey everyone, I'm excited to share with you my first outfit shot of 2017! I previously collaborated with Apricot Clothing over the festive season here but I have to share with you another one of their gorgeous pieces and a 90s trend - velvet.
Velvet is anything but bland; it's romantic, shiny, sumptuous and it certainly made a fashionable come back last year and it's still doing the celebrity circuit with actress Evan Rachel Wood wearing a blue velvet suit to the SAG awards. I prefer to wear the trend in Autumn/Winter because it's a heavier fabric and looks so elegant as evening wear. Luckily for us lots of velvet pieces are now on sale!
Velvet comes in many styles including ankle boots, dresses and off the shoulder tops which is what I am styling today...This beautiful dark blue off the shoulder top was just £5 in the January sales. (*Shocked face*) I decided because the top is so bold that black leather leggings (Missguided) compliment it well and the blue block heels from New Look are just simply beautiful.

Don't you love the blue backdrop too? I want to live in this blue house so bad!
Do you love the velvet trend?
I love the colour, but I'm not such a fan of velvet. Your shoes on the other hand... Now those I love!
