What I Wore | The Basics

Waistcoat: Zara (similar here). T-shirt: & Other Stories. Leggings: Zara. Boots: & Other Stories (similar here). Bag: Nica Handbags*. Scarf: Kirsteen Stewart.  Hat: Topshop. Earrings: Love Hearts and Crosses*
When it comes to the weekend, my wardrobe always turns to comfort and of course, leggings and tees are the only way to fully fulfill that brief.
When I was in London a few weekends ago, I made my first ever trip to & Other Stories and it’s officially my new favourite shop – I can’t believe I waited so long to go and I think I might even love it more than Zara...which is saying something, y’know? I purchased these booties in their sale and with a whopping 70% off, they were reduced from £125 to just £37.50 – clearly it was meant to be. The t-shirt wasn’t in the sale and at £19, it’s a little pricey for a plain tee, but it is literally the softest, comfiest t-shirt I’ve ever owned – I'm pretty sure I need one in every colour...
My leggings are also a new purchase from Zara – they will always be my go-to store for leggings and these ones are pretty darn cosy. They’re really stretchy, which makes them roomy and the elasticised sides and zips to the front make them a little different...which also sort of remind me of jodhpurs...giddy up! ;)
I’m also very much in love with my origami fox earrings from Love Hearts and Crosses, they’re so pretty and unusual – and of course they’re foxes, so it was bound to be a match made in heaven.

I’m still head over heels with my waistcoat too and love how it manages to bring everything together and take the simplicity of the outfit up a few notches :). What's your weekend attire? Do you find yourself reaching for comfort too? 

Oh and if you fancy it, you can shop my look here :D

    I remember seeing this waistcoat in your haul video and wondering how you'd style it. This is such a lovely outfit, the waistcoat really does tie the whole look together! xx

    I absolutely love & Other Stories! The p&p is crazy expensive though, so frustrating when you don't live in London! Their beauty section is amaaaazing, well worth trying a few bits :) x

    I seriously need to find a new blogging spot for my posts because you my dear put mine to shame! You look absolutely amazing and although we both have fringes I have serious fringe envy right now. And your ability to pull of a hat. And your outfit... Now i'm starting to sound creepy. Love your posts Megan :) xx

    Basics are usually so underrated but I totally agree they are a great thing to wear on casual days and if need be jazz up bit with a few accessories. I can't believe you got such an awesome deal on those boots, I'm definitely one to scope out the best deals too! Your styling is on point girlie!

    There is nothing basic about this outfit! But I love the way you've layered. Not sure why I find layering so complicated, you make it look so effortless! x
