Pattern Play

March 26, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

As the winter in Boston drags on I’ve been having trouble keeping my sartorial spirit. It’s hard to look good when you have to wade through slush and snow every day. Lately I’ve been working with pattern and texture to spice up my winter looks. Here I paired a chiffon floral dress with a plaid felt coat. The plaid is subtle enough to mesh well with the floral and the leather boots give the look a little edge (and practicality). 

Coat: Primark, Boots: Shoedazzle, Dress: Primark, Scarf: Primark
