I am a creature of habit. I rarely venture from my "safe" colours of black, white and neutrals. If I do I either only wear one bright item or I look like a hot mess. Overtime I've found myself being stuck in a rut with my style and I want to get to explore what else is out there.
I saw these trousers a few days ago and loved them! They were different (I don't own trousers like this) and they have a gorgeous blue colour which I own nothing like. I just had to have them. Although when I got home I had no idea how to style them... story of my life.
I looked online for some inspiration and discovered that even if you pick just one item that's out of your comfort zone you can style it with items that you're more familiar with. Just like I did here - taking a plain white crop racer top, my favourite Havaianas and my trusty Topshop bag - which you're probably sick of seeing by now...sorry.
Don't be afraid to try something new, as much as I love fashion at the end of the day it's just clothes (ahh shock horror)! If you don't like something it's fine you can take it off. If you LOVE something new, great you've developed your style!
