God Bless The Contrast Dresser

Apologies if I have been somewhat absent from social media recently, I’m usually always on Twitter (@sar4helizabeth) so I definitely felt disconnected from the world!

I’ve not long come back from a holiday to Spain where we were visiting family which was so great. Before I went I toyed with the idea of doing a get ready with me post in the style of ‘Pack with Me’ but decided against it. As I currently live with my parents I didn’t feel like it was my place to advertise when our house would be empty.

Despite this I wanted to be able to share something from my trip with you as it was too good an opportunity to pass up – and let’s face it, you’re probably all so bored of my furry white backgrounds at the moment!

The majority of my previous posts have been beauty related so I’m coming at you today with a fashion related post. All of the items featured (or very similar) will be listed below as always.

My style is ever changing but at the moment I’m a big fan of contrast dressing, that is to say I’ll pair together totally opposite styles to create my outfit. I'm not even sure if there's a real 'fashion world' term for what I do but either way I'm clueless. This outfit below was one of my go to looks during my holiday (WARNING: extreme paleness about to hit you now).

- Yes, I am legit picking a lemon off the tree -

The pretty, girly nature of this blouse was completely contrasted with the grungy style of my bag and sandals as well as my watch. This totally demonstrates my personality as I'm lovely whilst also having a fierce and sassy side to me.

I love ‘contrast dressing’ (not to be confused with cross dressing as I keep very nearly typing!) as it brings an unexpected twist to a seemingly boring and predictable fashion choice. 

I really enjoyed taking the photography aspect of this post. A massive shout out to my brother for allowing me to boss him around to get the exact shots I wanted! 

I hope you liked this post as it was something a little bit different from usual.

See you soon,
