Back To Reality

It's getting to that time of the year again when everyone starts making their way back to school, university or even work after a relaxing break.

The first day back always seems like the most important one which for most of us consists of standing in front of all our clothes for a ridiculous amount of time contemplating what to wear, or more importantly what not to wear.

Instead of making this mistake again, I thought I'd plan ahead and decide a few days in advance.

Dress: H&M
Blouse: Primark
Hair Bow: Topshop

The adorable cat dress paired with a simple blouse, gives a smart look with a hint of playfulness, which I thought would be perfect for the first day back. I bought this dress around this time last year and have pretty much worn it to death since. The neutral blouse was a purchase from a couple years back from good old trusty Primark. I find that adding a blouse, whether it be long sleeved or short sleeved with the collar done up to a dress this style creates a feminine geek-chic inspired look.

Shoes: H&M

I decided to add a leather jacket to complete the look (but let's be honest, it's actually a necessity in the typical British weather). The quilted detailing featured on the jacket enables the outfit to remain quite formal.
 
Bag: Primark




Of course little Rhubarb wanted to be part of all the fun (think the dress might have done it for her).
 

Introduction to Bella Moda

To me, fashion is a way of communicating visually, expressing emotions and finding yourself. The fast-paced industry allows us to constantly step out of our comfort zone and generate innovative creations whether it be from designing to creating looks from what is sitting in the back of our wardrobe.

My name is Frankie and whilst currently studying Fashion & Clothing, Art, Photography and Philosophy & Ethics in the final year of my A-Levels, I thought that it was about time I joined the blogging band wagon.

Fashion is a big part of my life and will be the main focus for this blog. I also hope to share with you everyday life experiences as well as Art and Photography posts making the odd debut.

I hope that exploring this blog will bring just as much excitement for you as developing it will for me! 

Happy blogging!
