Black Winter

It's incredibly cold outside so I've bundled up nice and warm for today in all black. I have never been a huge fan of winter - having to wrap myself in a cocoon of layers and still somehow feeling freezing, but it's nice to try out different styles. I recently went all out for a long overdue winter clothing shop and I picked up some pretty nice garments. I particularly like this coat from French Connection - it's warm and cosy, as well as being simple and stylish.

Everyone seems to be wearing chokers nowadays and I hadn't really jumped on the bandwagon until now because I didn't like the idea of something so tight around my neck. I have to say though, the choker isn't uncomfortable at all and it looks great. I teamed it with a black top from New Look, a black and white pleated skirt also from New Look, a pair of black Ralph Lauren flats, a New Look black belt and some opaque black tights. I was going for a monochrome sort of look and I really like the way that everything has come together. I'm a huge fan of this skirt. It's on sale at the moment, so if you're thinking of buying it you might want to snap it up quickly!
