Toughening up a girly dress with big, leather platforms and a leather jacket.

Black and white with silver accents.

This look is inspired by Topshop Unique's SS13 show (see here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiEkcgf2TNw&feature=plcp), including strappy heels, pink eyes, checks and yellows.

At first, I teamed the shorts and bag with a black cami top and frilly socks, but I think this looks much smarter. Perfect for a formal dinner or dressing to impress.

I adore this chunky rib knit from Topshop Unique - it has everything I could possibly want in a cardigan. Here I've paired it with simple black under-layers such as a sheer oversized blouse and simple leggings, a dark nude lip and a statement jewelled necklace from ASOS.
