OOTD: check mate

Although I'm a long-time fan of clashing prints and key colours, recently I'm preferring a muted, classic and more understated look - just think of a Victoria Beckham who eats a lot more carbs and has a lot less money. This particular shirt-jeans-and-heels look is really nice for work. I don't really know why but this is actually the first time I've ever worn this shirt despite the fact that I've had it for over a year. Normally unworn-for-a-year means that it gets chucked out in my next big wardrobe clear out (I have these pretty frequently) but I'm glad I kept this missguided shirt because I actually really like it. I'm not a huge fan of things that go longer at the back but I think that pink and grey make a really nice pairing and I love checked prints. I wore black skinny jeans (topshop), which are so ridiculously faded I 100% should've bought some new ones months ago, and then tied the outfit together with these grey and black strappy heels (new look) which are a pair of my all-time favourites. I finished with Whirl lipstick and silver watch.
