This week I was allowed a glimpse at life as a true fashionista; an experience usually reserved for the effortlessly chic and/or endlessly rich – I was retweeted by Vogue.
Yes I took a screen shot. What of it?
My description of Thursday’s outfit obviously went down well at Vogue House, despite a distinct lack of designer labels. In fact, my outfit was entirely high street. Take a look for yourself…
Topshop jeans, Primark blouse, New Look blazer
Me & Zena necklace, H&M ring
Colour blocking was one of the summer trends suggested to us Sarenza ambassadors, so when I spotted these stunning Valensi pumps I snapped them right up. They’re eye-poppingly bright, oh-so beautiful and go right up to a size 9.5 – brilliant for my fellow big foots (I’m an 8).
So, Vogue are big fans of my sartorial work (I’m stretching this retweet as far as it’ll go), but I want to know what you think. Have you hopped on the colour blocking bandwagon?
PS – If you haven’t entered my Matalan giveaway yet, what are you waiting for?
Love the colour of the ballet pumps and your jewellery is lovely.
Gorgeous outfit and omg about Vogue 😀

Love the popping pink in this outfit Jen, the shirt and pumps are lush! No wonder you got a re tweet from the all mighty vogue =)

Great outfit and those pumps are lovely.
I’ve always worn colour, I don’t get the new “colour-blocking” buzzword. xxx
cute outfit, I love that blouse I was pleasantly shocked to see it was Primark! xo

congrats on the re-tweet 😉 love the shoes..although i’m not one generally for colour-blocking. the shoes work so well with your shirt.
Beautiful outfit! I love the match between your blouse and your shoes – how do you always find such good things in primark?!
This is a lovely outfit!
I haven’t really got the whole colour-blocking thing yet, purely because my outfits often comprise of dark colours, a lot of black, navy and grey, and the occasionally bright coloured top/dress. It’s something I want to try though! You do it very well though 🙂
And well done on the vogue retweet, that’s pretty cool!

Oooh, this is awesome. You just look fabulous, I don’t know how you so casually throw together SUCH stylish outfits! x
Wow a retweet by Vogue! Love the pink ballerinas xx
Ah, the affirmation of a good RT, eh? Cute outfit. Colour blocking? I’ve always been a colour user anyway…
I would tell everyone and anyone. I have definitely being incorporating colour blocking, never thought I would say that but I have grown to love it.
I have fallen for colour, I never thought I’d wear bright orange t-shirts or coral jeans (not together) but I here I am turning my back on black!
I would have screengrabbed too 😉
I bought that blouse the other day on my first venture into Primark after reading some of your posts! I have to say I was amazed at what I could find in there.
Also, I am so happy that somehwere there are woman shoes that go past size 8! (I am an 8 and a half, so annoying!) I tend to just buy many from New Look as they seem to be one of the only places that cater for big foots!

Ooo, I can see why Vogue re-tweeted it. You look fantastic. i ‘m a huge fan of colour blocking! It’s such a fun trend to wear.
How can Vogue not like the outfit, it’s perfect. Love the pink against the black. And that H&M ring is great, nothing beats a chunky bit of finger bling.

I’m pretty sure this means you can put ‘Vogue Deputy Editor’ on your CV.
I think you look lovely but I wouldn’t count this as colour blocking! You need more bright colours to be a block. It’s a pink shirt with pink pumps… a colour pop, surely?
The retweet is ace, though! Wonder if you gained loads more followers? 🙂

I’m bloody loving a colour block at the moment, and I’m using it as an excuse to try colours j wouldn’t usually touch, like pink! Congrats on the retweet! Xx
How nice about the re-tweet! 🙂 I love those accessories, & the pink colour is just so lovely!
Totally Vogue compatible, Jen, and I’m loving the pink pumps. xo
Those shoes are the best! I love big bright pops of color in unexpected places!
Vogue – coooooool. Well done you. Loving the ballet pumps too, I like that they sit a little higher up thus minimising toe cleavage. Vicky x
love that outfit and i saw that retweet!!
