Outfit of the Day: Tweed Two Piece Suit




Blazer: Tu – Skirt: Tu – Blouse: Lasula – Shoes: So You Shoes – Fishnets: Tights Please – Necktie: Vintage

Hey kittens, hope you’re all having a lovely weekend! Today’s Outfit of the Day is another look I’m loving at the mo – the two piece! As y’all know, I’m a huge lover of formal wear – shirts, dresses and blazers – anyway, so pairing a couple of types together is pretty much heaven for me. Plus, this tweed look has Autumn/Winter 2013 written all over it.

This two piece is my new true suit love. It’s formal, it’s wintery, and it’s so well fitted (even if the skirt is a little on the short side, but a girl can’t help having long legs). The quality is also unbelievable – lets test it. Would you believe me if I told you it was from Sainsburys? Yep, I know. It’s from Tu, which is totally affordable and giving the higher-end high-street a proper run for its money. You can find the blazer here and skirt here if you fancy a peek yourself.

I love the details in this twosie – note the buckles on the skirt and the elbow patches on the blazer. Kinda like a cool version of your own geography teacher. Librarian chic. No, but seriously, I really love this blazer and although the skirt is probably a little indecent on me to wear day-to-day, I’ve been wearing the blazer a lot separately with black skinnies and a casual blouse for work. Me likey.

The blouse I’m wearing is another appearance of my Lasula favourite. The embellishment on the collar is just gorgeous and really adds a little something extra to your standard white blouse. Heck, everyone needs a go-to white shirt and I’m not the type of kitten to do anything by halves, so this little number is the perfect staple item to jazz up my formal wardrobe.

To be honest, I didn’t go overboard on accessories as I think the two piece pretty much speaks for itself. Instead, I kept things simple with some black chunky platform heels from So You Shoes and a couple of small flowers in my hair. To complete the look – and add a cheeky school girl-esque vibe – I popped on a pussybow neck tie and some fishnet tights. Not my usual look, but it’s always fun to try out something different, right?

So kittens, what do you think of the classic two piece suit? Leave me a comment below and let me know! And don’t forget to follow me on Twitterlike my Facebook page and subscribe to my Youtube channel to keep up to date with all things fashion!
