ASOS Quilted Shoulder Tee / Bracher Emden Belt * / Religion Draped Skirt / Topshop Boutique Boots / Balenciaga City
This was the first time I’ve been out without a coat or jacket in months, it was such a nice day. Yet fast forward a few days to today & we have a thick blanket of snow & it’s back to being freezing again, typical British weather!
This outfit is all about the beautiful, angular Bracher Emden belt, it makes me feel like some sort of futuristic crime fighter & so I couldn’t resist pairing it with my quilted shoulder tee from ASOS for that little extra sci-fi element! It’s such a statement piece that it immediately dominates any outfit, so I like to keep the rest of my look simple so that it can take full center stage. I’ve been wearing it a lot over chunky sweaters too, as it’s one of those pieces that can transform even the most boring & casual outfits into something so striking & dynamic.
The draped skirt from Religion is one of the only sale buys I’ve brought this year, I’ve been so disappointed in the online sales & haven’t even bothered to check out the stores yet as I’ve heard they’re not much better either. I’d had my eye on the skirt for a while though, so of course I had to get it at 50% off. I love how the draping at the sides actually gives me the illusion of having a few curves, instead of my usual boyish silhouette!

‘Futuristic crime fighter’ haha I love that description! Definitely a look that only you could pull off, you look amazing as always. Love your bag too and also loving your instagrams of Nico in the snow…too cute! xxx

Aw, Thankyou! I had been called ‘power ranger’ so many times that day by kids I think it’s gone to my head! Haha! ;) x
Maria says

You look great in that ensemble and the Bracher Emden belt can make any outfit special! Regarding the sales, I only went shopping in a small store in Brussels where I’m sure to find original skirts, but as for the online sales – unless I really want certain pieces – I always wait until the 50%-70% bargains…so I’m patiently waiting! Steph, have a nice, snowy evening!
FAIIINT says
Thankyou! :) Yeah, I usually get nervous & buy things when they’re only 30% off or so, incase they sell out & then regret it once I see them for 70%+ off a few weeks later! This year they’re so rubbish though, there’s nothing I really want so I’m not having too much trouble waiting for final discounts! ;)

Ashleigh says
You do all black outfits SO perfectly! There’s always some sort of edge to it, in one way or another, that makes it stand out and look amazing. So much love! xo
stephanie says
the belt is awesome, love these kind of details and you’re right about it being a bit sci-fi – as is the top – love it!

Wow, that is such an awesome statement belt! Love this edgy look – you wear it well! Thanks again for dropping by my blog and I agree, the Paper Denim tops are gorgeous, aren’t they?

The belt really is so striking! I have to say, I’m in love with your boots. They are perfect – the perfect shape, with that lovely block heel. You definitely do need to check out those Primark tights – they are literally the best tights, ever! :) x
FAIIINT says
Yeah, they’re some of my favourites, really comfy too! They were originally a mustard yellow & in the sale for super cheap (cos of the horrible colour I guess?!) so I had to rescue them & dye them black! Hah! I’m going to hunt the tights down next time I’m in town! :)
Maddie says
Fantastic outfit! All black outfits are my favorites! the dress and the shoes are stunners!

You are rocking that belt and those shoulders. High shoulders like that does not work well for me…but you look totally bad ass in this whole look. Also you know how to mix blacks very well. I think mixing blacks can be quite hard…weird i know but if you don’t mix the right shades it comes out looking funny.

Whoa whoa whoa. That belt is absolutely gorgeous! It totally makes your outfit.
I feel you on the cold weather. It’s absolutely freezing here and I feel no desire to get dressed in anything interesting. I’m all about the layers at the moment. xx
Jenny says
Haha, loving the sci-fi inspired look here! Every time you feature the Bracher Emden belt in an outfit my eye is immediately drawn to it, it’s such a great piece. I haven’t been massively impressed with the sales either, there weren’t many major discounts or great pieces in there. Boo! xx

Sonia says
That belt is seriously amazing. You look like a fierce sci-fi princess ready for battle! Hehehe, seriously though the Asos top and the belt are perfection together! Enjoy the snow! I’ll be melting away in 40+ heat tomorrow dreaming of jumping head first into mountains of snow! I’ve never really seen snow so I’m imagining it as raked up mountains of leaves LOL!

Heheh! :)
Oh no, that just sounds far too hot! I like the sun, but anything over about 30ish & I feel like I’m dying! I can’t imaging never having seen snow! Our snow is more the slushy, icy kind rather than the fluffy kind you get at ski resorts though, not as nice!
J. says
That belt is spectacular! (I’m a bit of a belt junkie!)
You look amazing!
Melissa Araujo says
Killer boots and how nice the weather is getting nicer there. Here is like the worse part just started last week. Frozen things everywhere. The skirt is beautiful and I like how you paired it with a power shoulder top. xx
