"Swap heels for Stan Smith trainers, minidresses for crisp white shirts." - Victoria Beckham.
21:02
I absolutely love the article Victoria Beckham wrote for October Vogue entitled 'What I wish I'd known', advice to her 18 year old self. The advice runs from fashion faux pas in the Spice Girls to the first time she met David. I continually read it over and each time feel the same inspiring, emotional, optimistic and empowered thoughts… If you have read this article you’ll know the feelings I’m trying to describe! And if not you need to read it.
This look is inspired by the fashion advice Victoria tells herself. And so my trusty Stans have made an appearance, I’m aware I’m in need of a new pair but I just can’t let them go? I have become emotionally attached to a pair of smelly old trainers. I think even when I finally purchase a new pair I will still wear my old ones, we’re good chums and I can’t find a fault in them. They are one of those items that look perfect with every outfit for every situation, I never don’t want to wear my Stan Smiths!

A crisp white shirt is another wardrobe staple, and yet again perfect for every situation. I like the slits and mesh panel this one has, adding something a little different to your basic shirt. Paired with my favourite new raw hem jeans from Asos that are almost a dupe to those cult Vetements jeans, at a fraction of the price, woo.

I chose this oversized coat to add to the look due to the number of checked coats included in Victoria’s AW16 collection. Does anyone else order a few options online of coats for example, knowing that you’re only going to keep one (can only afford to keep one) but end up liking them all and not wanting to send any back? Well that’s my issue now… I need to send this coat back but I’ve accidentally found myself really liking it… sake. This oversized coat is the perfect oversized-ness for autumn/winter, and goes with more outfits than I thought it would.

Topped off with an everyday tote bag from Zara of course and colour coordinating belt. Normally I don’t like mixing gold and silver details in accessories but I love this choker harmonising with the blues of the jeans and coat, so the gold and silver combo had to be done.

Linked is Victoria’s ‘In The Bag’ clip she did for Vogue, a series I really enjoy, why do we enjoy seeing what others keep in their bag so much? I guess humans are just nosey. And just to add to my love for VB, how wonderful is her AW16 collection! My favourite items being the revamped slip dresses and masculine overcoats.
