I would put very good money on this being my most worn outfit. As far as pay per wear goes, every item I'm wearing must be in the pennies region, and I know that the boots will soon be heading that way too. When people praise a celebrity for "recycling" clothing, I do wonder what that social media executive thinks is normal, as, come on guys, they washed it and wore it again like every normal person. Unless you're Chris Brown. I don't know what it is about this skirt which makes it so wearable, but I find that it's quite a flattering shape for my hourglass figure, although I may have to retire it soon as it's so bloody short. The leather jacket goes without saying, really. I bought it as a finishing university present, and despite it being the most expensive thing I've ever bought I don't regret it in the slightest as it's become a wardrobe staple that I grab every time when I'm rushing out to catch the u bahn to work. As for the top, you might have heard that I like this little sheffield band called the Death Ramps? I've seen them five times now, and purchased this Arctic Monkeys t-shirt (my second) at their homecoming gig a few years ago and it's lasted pretty well considering how many countries it's been to, festivals I've survived, and times it's been in the wash. Here's hoping the bobble hat I got at Earl's Court lasts as long!

Pointed collar smock dress: c/o Ark. The Kooples leather jacket. Topshop buckle strap boots: £76.50. Marks and Spencer burgundy shoulder bag: £43. Charity shop leather belt: 20p. Rotary watch: gift. Initial pendant necklace: gift. Sleek matte lipgloss. Essie "eternal optimist" nail varnish.

When people talk about having a type, it's generally in relation to what you look for in a boy/girlfriend, but as I opened this dress whilst wearing this blouse I came to the conclusion that maybe I have a clothes type. I don't experiment with clothes as much as I used to, and tend to dress for my shape (unless I'm tired or hungover, then I turn to a smock dress, which although comfy is incredibly unflattering), and apparently I'm currently going through a monochrome phase, which centres around a good ol' collar. This particular example is meant to be worn loose, but for me it works better when belted, so I turned to my failsafe charity shop bargain to nip it in a little bit.

So next time someone asks, I'll tell them my type can be found in my wardrobe, and wait for the reaction.

Currently sat on a coach heading back to Munich from Berlin (it was pretty last minute decision, hence why this is the first time I've mentioned it!), looking back on these photos feels like a lifetime ago, even though this is just six days back. Taken on a chilly Wednesday afternoon, I thought it was about time I wore my matching snood and bobble hat that I received for Christmas - thanks mum! Munich isn't actually that cold at the moment, surprisingly, but it's always nice to feel cosy, and this snood doubles up as a portable head support/pillow, so it's a great all-rounder, and perfect for the lunchtime trip to the supermarket for the essential sweet restock. Essential.
