*AD - Gifted Items.
Mixing completely contrasting styles seems to be all the rage at the moment, so I thought I'd try it too. For example, sports and luxe wear or smart and casual. Today I'll be taking 3 pieces from Femme Luxe and trying it out myself. I have gone for mixing sporty and more glam to see what I can come up with and whether they work well together.
Firstly, I've started by picking out 2 sportswear pieces. These lovely pink joggers and an oversized casual t-shirt. I think they work well together to create a casual, sporty, loungewear type look. The joggers are very soft and comfortable and I'll definitely be wearing this inside and outside the house. I have so many things I think they will go really well with. The t-shirt has this super cool print on it and again can be paired with lots of other things. It's also a very oversized piece so it could also be worn as a dress if you are petite. For the ultimate casual, sporty vibe, wearing these pieces without any accessories is the way to go with this one.
For the more luxe, glamorous piece, I have picked this gorgeous black satin dress with ruching up the side. This can be adjusted to make the dress shorter or longer, depending on your preference. I already have this satin dress in red which I've featured on my blog before. You should definitely check that post out for more Femme Luxe goodness. I loved it that much I decided I needed it in black too. I think this dress will go with so much that I already have in my wardrobe. I can't wait to see what else I can work it with.
For the more glam look, I paired the satin dress with my trusty cream roll neck (you may remember I paired the red satin dress with my black roll neck). I love layering items like this, especially in Winter in the colder weather as I think it not only adds warmth but it adds a chicness to the look too. In the dead of Winter I would probably also add a thick pair of black tights for added warmth. I added a necklace and some accessories to give it a finished, polished look.
For the next look, I wanted to go a bit more of a simple look. I decided to try tucking the dress into the joggers to turn it into a strappy top. Doing this adds a whole new dimension to your wardrobe. Try it sometime. Pick your favourite dress and try tucking it into your favourite trousers or skirt and see what you think. This is the more sports luxe style I was talking about that I wanted to try together. I feel I could have elevated it a bit more with a bit of a statement necklace to finish off the look though.
For the last look I paired together the satin dress with the oversized t-shirt to give the ultimate cool girl vibes. I love the layering to this once again as it adds so much more dimension to the outfit. Add some accessories and some knee high boots and you are ready to go.
So which look out of these five outfits was your favourite? Are you more sporty or more glamorous? What would you pair each piece with? Let me know in the comments below and while you are here why not check out more of my fashion content?
