Inspired by Audrey

#Fashion

Have a Holly Golightly Birthday Audrey...

"My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses."
                                    Audrey Hepburn 
(Style icon, inspiration and the chicest girl around.)

My wonderful boyfriend gave me the best surprise recently, he bought me an Audrey Hepburn style yellow coat, just like the one she wore in Charade.
Caramel Sharbury wool coat by Joules 
(It says caramel but it's a lot more like mustard, I feel like a giant tub of Colman's when I wear it out...)


I have been wearing my beautiful new coat pretty much every day and have had endless compliments, a few of my friends have even started calling me 'Audrey' which naturally makes me the happiest person EVER.


I love this coat so much, not only because it was picked out for me by someone I love but because it is something I would NEVER have picked out for myself. Yellow is so bold and bright and the thought of buying a statement coat in that shade would have terrified me!
Strangely, this coat really helped me see that sometimes it's really important to step outside of your fashion comfort zone. Seeing as my style is a little more conservative and classic than others, I team it with neutral colours to make it look a little more conservative.

Yellow is all the range this fashion season and I encourage all of you to buy a statement piece of yellow clothing; lemon, mustard, caramel...no matter which shade!  
It can make any outfit and if you wear it right and with the right things you will shine (literally) and everyone will be envious of your courage, creativity and class.
