ASOS Blogger Style Challenge: Restyle Your Classics!

Thursday 30 January 2014

A few weeks ago I was contacted by ASOS and asked to take part in their latest blogger style challenge - restyle your classics! The aim of the challenge was to show how one key purchase could refresh your existing wardrobe by mixing and matching it with items you already have... Re-styling on a budget! I was asked to create 5 different looks suitable for everyday wear.

I was doubly excited because I was given the task of styling the oversized coat! I've bought quite a lot of coats this season but none of them have been oversized or pink. I decided it was time to jump on the pink coat bandwagon by embracing this lovely fluffy cocoon coat.

You can view my other two outfits on the Fashion Finder website, along with looks from the other bloggers who took part in this challenge. I think my favourite outfit is probably the first one! Alexa Chung also has this 'off the deep end' tee and although I've had it for years, it's still one of my favourite casual pieces. I also love one of the other outfits shown in the link above, can you guess which one? ;) I'm so predictable haha. I'm really glad I took part in this challenge, after wearing this coat all weekend I fell in love with it. This one is a size 8 and is the perfect fit. It also comes in light blue or grey. The blue is quite dreamy.

Which outfit is your favourite? Are you part of the ASOS Fashion Finder community?

T - Huge thanks to ASOS for asking me to be involved! X

  1. Ahh these outfits are so beautiful! You're fuelling my need for a pink coat haha! I'm a massive fan of the 'key purchase' - most of the things I buy are bought under the reasoning that they will transform my whole wardrobe and 'I can wear them with everything!' xx
