Ghotic Collection

Over the years I've collected so many scarves, and yet not one of them compares to the scarf of this season, the check Zara scarf!  I've seen them all over the streets of London and I'm not ashamed to join everyone in donning this warmth defender!  No pressure on Zara to create something equally as awesome for AW14!

Before Crimbo I was sent this beauty of a dress by Lavish Alice from Bank Fashion but haven't had a chance to wear it yet.  It's a figure hugging pencil dress with long sleeves which looks very 'workwear-ish' when you see it alone, so I had a think about how I could turn it into EJ.Style and ta dahhhh, here we go!  Layers my friends, layers!  As it is a tad on the nippy side at the moment layers were the way to go when creating this look.  I used a denim shirt which I've had for yonks (Zara) and tied it at the waist, leaving it open to expose the gorgeous check print of the dress, with a leather jacket casually thrown on the shoulders.  I've added a clashing chunky statement necklace (Topshop), a pair of black heels ankle boots and my bag of the moment, the Zara mini city in grey.  I like this look so much that I'm thinking of recreating something similar with a pencil dress for Fashion Week in Feb, weather permitting obvs!
