Styling
three ways is always a tough cookie because I am, unashamedly, a creature of
habit and tend to inch slowly towards my black jeans every time, hoping that no
one will notice. However, this H&M badboy turned out to be quite easy to do
three ways because it's so versatile. Ha-lle-Lu-jah. It's nice and
tailored which, being at the petitest end of the petite scale (a depressing
admission), I always look for because I find it stops you looking
like you're drowning under a mountain of material. Grey was a good colour for
me too because it goes with everything, including my favourite 'colour', um,
black. So, without further ado, here are the three looks (if you
want to insert your own drumroll here you're very welcome to).
LOOK 1
For the first look, yes, ok, I went for jeans but it's the ONLY TIME, OK. I popped a faux fur collar on over the jacket, which I always find is an easy way to transform a jacket or coat/make it instantly warmer - and dug my good old thigh high boots out the wardrobe to finish the outfit off with because, let's face it, Autumn is well and truly here.

LOOK 2
The second look I'm trying hard not to title 'Fifty Shades of Grey' but the urge is there and it's very, very strong. I picked up this dress in H&M a few months back in both grey and black - if it ain't broke, buy it twice.. I think that's how that phrase goes, anyway - and although I'd normally wear it quite dressed up I thought I'd go for a more casual look this time, pairing it and the jacket with my favourite Senso glittery boots and a slouchy bag.
LOOK 3
The thigh high boots make a return for look number three but the jeans don't ('thank god!', I hear you sigh). There's always a risk of looking a bit Pretty Woman-esque when pairing thigh highs with a leather mini, so I went to the entire opposite end of the scale on my top half with a prim and proper polo neck and, of course, the jacket layered over the top.
