I have a feeling I'm becoming emotionally attached to Zara. Seriously. Every time I walk into one of their shops, I leave with a greater love for the brand. On this occasion, it was because of this gorgeously understated, classic denim skirt; a modest design that allows for one million and one styling options. The 'summer-soul' inside of me is desperate to bring out the delicate silk camisoles and sheer blouses, but the hairs on my arms are begging me to remember it's still actually quite cold. So, jumper it is then!
Really, it's difficult not to fall head over heels in love with chunky knit jumpers, the type you can throw on for the day and not give a second thought to. Personally, I find myself drawn to 'cosier' pieces when other elements of an outfit are less so, such as thigh-high leather boots. I picked up this blue and white knitted piece a few days ago at GAP, a store I've recently rediscovered and learnt to appreciate. Basic, staple pieces that act as the backbone of an outfit, similar to how primer prepares for makeup. Funnily enough, I've found GAP can be fab for finding gems from across all departments and more often than not those you least expect. Menswear, petite, tall - they can be perfect places to look for oversized gems, or equally, tight tops ideal for layering.
Jumper - GAP
Skirt - Zara
Boots - Dune
Choker - DIY
Rings - Accessorize
Bag - Chloe Elsie Medium
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know I recently indulged in a rather pretty treat by Chloé, the beautiful Elsie Medium! I spent a while switching from bag to bag, though eventually settled on this gold-chained beauty thanks to the classic design and practical size. Swoon! Jewellery-wise, I've kept it fairly minimal with a simple choker and stacking rings. Chokers are ridiculously easy to make, I'm no seamstress and yet this thick-band velvet choker took about five minutes to whip together! If you're looking for a speedy way of finishing it, opt for a velcro fastening, though otherwise I'd suggest picking up ribbon clamps.
As these photos were taken, small bugs darted in all directions, birds were singing and the sun beamed down and fell on my back until it was warm. This time of year truly doesn't receive the praise it deserves, I mean, at the very least it allows for jumpers and mini skirts to be worn together without risking imminent death by freezing or overheating. Three cheers for March!
With love,
Gabrielle x
The sunlight in these photographs is so gorgeous as is your outfit! I adore your jumper! x

This post just reminds me of how much I need to add more denim to my wardrobe, I really don't own that many pieces. I'm falling more and more in love with Zara as well, I feel like the majority of my clothes come from there now.

I'm like you and you'll always find me in a pair of jeans, but as you've proved, denim can be worn in so many other ways! My favourite is a pair of dungarees - can't wait to dig mine out when it's warmer!

I'm a big fan of Zara as well and it's become quite dangerous since they opened a shop just a short walk from my house recently. I've actually been avoiding it cause I'm on a bit of a shopping ban. Your denim mini skirt is a lovely buy and definitely a great transitional piece that you can wear through summer and early fall.
ReplyDeleteI love Zara! I don't shop there often since there's not one nearby, but I can spend a lot of money there lol. I do love that chunky knit sweater too; I was surprised to hear it was from GAP but I suppose they do have some good basics! I always seem to forget about them, but I'll have to stop by there next time I'm at a mall! Love this outfit, you can't go wrong with denim :)

ReplyDeleteThese photos are utterly stunning. So editorial, high fashion, model-like you are! I'm a fan of denim too, but I don't particularly favor blue tones, deep indigo maybe but that's it. I always feel like they look odd on me and I have trouble styling them with anything other than white.

Gabrielle, you look gorgeous as always! I love blue on you in general because I feel it just highlights and brings forth your beautiful blue eyes, blonde hair and fair skin; you really do look like such a beauty! I love your new skirt, the idea of it is trendy, but the style is a bit more unique, since it has the two large pockets on the front. I tend to see more of the plain denim button up versions, so this really was a great score! I love how you paired it with the blue jumper and that choker. This look is one that's definitely a nod to the '90s, styled perfectly! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having the best start to your week so far!

The UK looks bright and sunny compared to Denmark, where it's still too cold to think of anything else than big coats and knitted jumpers. The denim skirt looks gorgeous and so does your new bag:) Regarding Gap, I always end up stealing Poul's Gap T-shirts, as they are so comfortable and look better on me than on him:):)
ReplyDeleteI love knit jumpers too! They's so cozy aren't they? I love how you paired this one with that lovely denim skirt...and those boots are divine.

Hey! You look awesome girl I am amazed by your hair. Sorry I haven't been so active on your blog lately - I've been super busy. A friend and I created an app called Watcher, it's a safety app for people who are afraid to walk home alone at night. Through some terrible experiences of my own (http://danikamaia.com/watcher-safety-app) I've learned you can never be too cautious and I'm super excited to share this new project! If you've every been scared walking home alone at night, I'd love if you could help me in spreading the word about Watcher so we can build a community of people looking out for each other.
