Matalan Blogger Challenge - The Statements!

Monday 30 September 2013

A few weeks ago I was asked to take part in a blogger style challenge with Matalan. I was given a theme (The Statements) and a £50 voucher to create an outfit featuring my chosen statement piece, skinny jeans. For some savvy shoppers £50 may seem like a lot of money but it was certainly a challenge for me!

Matalan Breton Tee
Matalan Blogger Challenge
 Breton Tee - Skinny Jeans - Leather Ballet Pumps - Metal Textured Cross Cuff - Studded Trilby Hat - Gold Band Ring Set - Textured Knot Ring: c/o Matalan

My key statement piece is an absolute bargain at only £14. These skinnies come in a range of different colours and are pretty unbelievable for the price. They're ultra soft (mine are a size 10) and well worth the price tag! I paired them with this cute Breton tee which is available in 3 other colours and another bargain at only £8 (size 8). No outfit is complete without a hat, in this case a studded trilby (£5 from the Girls section, age 12 -16) and some jewellery. I love this statement cuff (£7) and my 2 lots of rings (£4 each).

Matalan Nude Ballet Pumps

I always wear ballet pumps and I always try to get real leather, these pumps also come in black and are now only £10 from £14. Bargain! I always tend to be half a size smaller in footwear from Matalan so these are a size 6.

Outfit total: £52.

I'm up against some super stylish bloggers so it would mean a lot to me if you could spare 10 seconds to click here and vote for my outfit by writing Tara! Voting would earn you muchos brownie points. ;)

Do you shop at Matalan? Are you a fan of this look?
