My fashion changes every day. I don’t have a set style… I just love to wear what I vibe with on that specific day. As for this season, let me talk you through my top 5 current fashion obsessions. 

Turtle necks under t-shirts 

I am obsessed with t-shirts, from tight-fitted t-shirts to loose and baggy ones, but now that winter is coming it’s very hard to style a T-shirt alone. Come on, I want to be cute, but I don’t want to freeze to death. 

To make use of my t-shirts I style them with a turtleneck (within). My friends hate it and say that I look like a child. But I love it because it's cute and comfortable. Most importantly, it keeps me warm. You can style this with a cute pair of Mom jeans, chino or even a pair of joggers. To be honest, style it with whatever you vibe with. 

Converse

I see converses as the old-school MPV. Why? Because you can never get bored of them. They practically go with everything and are super comfy, we can all agree that comfort must take priority in fashion.  

Cardigans

Cardigans can be styled in any way, with Jean, a skirt, a dress, or it can be used to compliment any outfit. I believe cardigans are an essential part of this winter season. 

Cardigans can be overlooked as a boring piece of clothing. But we can actually style it in many ways. For me I love to wear them with a turtleneck and jeans. And if I want to go the extra mile, I’ll turn it back to front.

Above the ankle

How I love to show an ankle. Yes! Above the ankle trousers are very fashionable, especially with some white socks and a pair of vans, Adidas gazelles, Converse or loafers. What a yummy combo. Want to be on the cheeky side, wear an anklet on top of the socks. 

Oversized everything

Baggy shirts, baggy coats, baggy hoodies, baggy jumpers, baggy trousers. who doesn’t love drowning in a pair of comfy oversize joggers on a chilly day. Who said we can’t wear it out too. Don’t be afraid. Throw on a pair of baggy anything and style it any way you feel comfortable. Combine it with a pair of sunglasses and a cute bag and your suddenly an icon 

Fashion is subjective, but remember that it is not subject to society, it’s subject to what you want and whichever way your creative gene flows. Embrace whatever vibe comes your way and just like that you can create a whole new trend.
