House of Fraser Blogger Style Challenge

Happy Wednesday!

There is another blogger style challenge going on right now! 

This time it's from House of Fraser and what's up for grabs is £200 worth of House of Fraser vouchers! :D

All you have to do is create a look for next season using items from www.houseoffraser.co.uk, blog about it, tell them what you love about the pieces and where you would wear the outfit.

School has already started for a lot of us, and so I decided to create a look that can be easily worn for school 

(and for after school, haha!). ;)

According to www.elle.com, gold is one of the colors of Fall... it might not be the most appropriate color for school/daytime wear, but we can definitely put gold to use in our accessories.

The Mid-Rise Jeggings, Tuxedo Shirt, and Tailored Blazer are all from House of Fraser's Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection. Besides the tuxedo-style blazer, a lot of the other items from this look are also Fall-approved: Colored Bag, Not-So-Classic Loafer, and Menswear Watch. :D

When dressing up for school, two things are at the top of my list... my outfit has to be 1. comfortable and 2. stylish! :)

1. LABEL LAB Tuxedo Shirt (Was £50, Now £40) -

Classic. Versatile. Collegiate. 

Can be dressed up with the right accessories.

2. OUI Slim Mid-Rise Jeggings (£89.95) -

Comfortable. Perfect pop of color.

3. TED BAKER Jira Tailored Stretch Suit Jacket (£199) -

Classic. Wardrobe staple. Great investment.

4. HEAD OVER HEELS Linzi H (£20) -

Something I've been wanting for months now. ;)

5. TED BAKER Turtel Patent Quilted Bag (£99) -

Gorgeous color!

6. PHASE EIGHT Layer Pendant Necklace (£30) -

Statement necklace. Versatile.

7. GUESS Crystal Crush Gold Ball Earrings (£35) -

Dainty. Simple. Classic.

8. MARY PORTAS Flower Ring (£45) -

Fun. Pretty. Lovely.

9. MICHAEL KORS MK3719 Runway (£165) -

Classic. 

Will be used forever! ;)

10. RAY-BAN Unisex RB3025 Aviator Large Polar Sunglasses (£175) -

My outfits aren't complete without my trusty aviator sunglasses! ;)

A lot of the items from this look are classic and versatile -- two things that I've noticed are very important to me. :)

I love how these pieces can be paired with a lot of other pieces already in your closet to create other looks (another thing that's important to me, haha!). You can also change up the vibe of this outfit -- blazer on for a more serious and proper look, blazer off for a more casual and fun vibe. :D

What do you guys think? Do you like the outfit? Is this something you might want to wear?

Which Fall trends are you looking forward to wearing?
