Sometimes I wish I was a 1980s teenager. I have a real penchant for 80s pop music and the garish fashion and I finally watched The Breakfast Club this weekend, which really sealed it for me. I have written before about 80s style work wear and this was another outfit that looked like I had pulled it out of my mum's wardrobe 20 years too late...

| Shirt:H&M, trousers: ASDA, blazer: Tesco, shoes: Stylist Click c/o Spartoo, necklace: Dorothy Perkins |
I picked up these trousers in the ASDA sale a few weeks ago, as I loved the rich terracotta colour. I wasn't sure what to pair them with (it's still a bit warm for my chunky knit jumpers) but this long-line shirt from H&M was ideal. I bought it a couple of years ago as I wanted a slouchy fit top to give me that effortless cool that certain girls can pull off but unfortunately I couldn't find a way to make it work. Usually I would tuck in my top when wearing slim fit trousers but I actually preferred the shirt left untucked; a choice which felt very out of character...

| Possibly the comfiest pair of shoes that I own and the perfect everyday heel height too! |
I painted my nails in this gunmetal grey from Barry M (another unusual choice for me) and I actually loved the edge it gave to the outfit as I was able to pick up the grey of the shoes. Even when I took my jacket off (you should know by now how I feel about things being matchy matchy!) I also love the slight stripe on the shirt to match the cuffs of the jacket. It's the small things...

Do you prefer to clash or co-ordinate? How do you take yourself out of your comfort zone?

love the colour of those trousers !
I can NOT believe those trousers are ASDA. They look amazing. I love the colour.
love all of this, very chic. I like a clash of colour but most of my clothes are black so I can't mix it up too much. Those shoes do look very comfy x
I love the blazer and now it matches with your nails and the shirt. I usually wear dresses so anything else feels a bit out of my comfort zone! x
Your hair really DOES look shiny!
