Baroque is one of my favourite patterns; it really appeals to my love of all things vintage glamour and whispers to my darker side a little, too. These slouch fit trousers from Peacocks are one of my favourite new Autumn/Winter wardrobe items. Not only do they look formal, they’re also super comfortable too! I’m looking forward to wearing these both with blouses and with a simple T-shirt for those cozy, lazy days.

Of course, once I’ve got myself a theme I’m gonna roll with it, so it seemed like this embellished blouse from the new Lasula Boutique was the ideal way to add yet more intricate detail to the look. As a lover of blouses, wearing one almost every day, it’s become an inner challenger to find one more unusual than the other. At work, it’s become almost my trademark to be seen in outgoing shirts, so this little white number with its jewelled collar has become a welcome addition to my everyday wardrobe.

For accessories, I decided to contrast the vintage intricacy of the trousers with some modern jewellery and this necklace and bracelet set from Jasper Conran at Jon Richard was perfect. The cold, steely texture fits in well with the blue tones in the trousers yet the juxtaposition between the sleek, sharp lines of the jewellery and the circular florals of the trousers is pretty standout.
