It seems like all we hear about is how we should wear things right – florals and stripes don’t go together (or do they?); White shoes a no-no (or are they?); Legs or cleavage, never both – The ‘fashion rules’ change so often I’ve given up trying to keep up. So just forget the rules. You can’t go wrong when you wear it wrong. Flip the skirt backwards; wear a dressing gown as a jacket; throw on two jacket at the same time (or three).

Today’s Wear It Wrong post is all about the button down shirt. The off the shoulder crop top being one of my favourite styles at the moment, I tucked and tied a vintage chambray shirt into one. And since I don’t want my lovely boyfriend thinking me an exhibitionist, might I also suggest a couple of well placed safety pins if you’re going to try this at home. Watch out for my tutorial, coming soon!

In other news, I’m calling Aussie label Lilya my brand for spring. They hit it on the spot every time with their effortless designs. I’ve been living in these easy breezy ‘Talei’ chambre pants in perfect tapered cut for weeks now, not the least because they make me feel like I’m perpetually on vacation in the Greek Islands. Of course, casual pool slides are also part of my Mediterranean vacay set.

    Couldn’t agree more! Fashion rules are rubbish, constructed by folks with little to no imagination. Experiment I say, have fun with it: wear blue and green and floral and stripes and white shoes everyday! And crop that vintage chambray shirt, cause it looks rad!
