As soon as I saw this picture of Caroline Flack I just had to use it for this month's style steal as it's a look that is right up my street plus much to hubby's relief my wardrobe already contains similar items!
For me this is a great go to outfit that can either be worn with trainers as Caroline has done for a great casual look, teamed with heels & a bit of bling for a night out or some stunning ballet pumps for a great look for the office.
So without further a do here's Caroline strutting her stuff.
And here's how you can steal here style with finds on the high street.
Starting with this stunning ASOS scarf. I've decided to go down the grey check as opposed to the camel like Caroline's Burberry scarf as this would be a great neutral that you could bring out year after year. Plus of course it would look equally stunning teamed with grey, navy not to mention denim & at just £16 it's not going to break the bank either :-)
Being the jacket-o-holic that I am has to be another reason why I love Caroline's look. Obviously I'm in the 'you can never have enough jackets/blazers' camp but seriously if you're lacking in the jacket department & don't have a black blazer hanging in your wardrobe then you really should. A fab wardrobe neutral that can so easily be dressed up or down not to mention worn for work or play. This Mango blazer is a great simple design that's never going to date & would look equally stunning teamed with a simple white tee & some boyfriend jeans for the weekend.
Moving onto the trousers next & I love the look of these cotton ankle grazers from Mango. Again a great wardrobe staple that could be dressed up with heels & a simple cami for a night out as well as dressed down with some sandals & a tee.
For the top I'm loving the look of the modal blend one from Next. It has a fantastic scoop neckline & is available in some great basic colours of navy, white, grey & coral. I find this kind of top & neckline so useful for dressing down my jackets that I may have to investigate these further!!
Next also have these stunning Stan Smith look-a-likeys available for just £28. If I hadn't already managed to bag my Mango trainers in the sales I would so be clicking the button on these ones as they're fantastic & if you're like me & unsure whether you'll end up wearing them, then give them a go, as I'm really loving mine.
Finally to finish the look how about these M&S cat's eye sunglasses which at £10 are a complete & utter steal!
Finally here's my interpretation of the look for my outfit for today. Son is off doing some more work experience today & I'm back in the office.

So what do you think, are you a lover of this kind of outfit?! Do you have similar items sitting in your wardrobe & fancy giving this a go or is this something that you love on Caroline but not on yourself? As always I love reading your thoughts & comments.
See you tomorrow & have a fab day. Hopefully the sun is shining with you today - it's absolutely glorious here, far to nice to be stuck in the office!!
This is a great look, Jane, and you wear it well too! Could you also let me know where I might get Caroline Flack's legs please? ;-)
