With parka’s being so on-trend right now, I thought I’d do a ‘Style Sessions’ post on various ways I’ve styled my new boohoo.com parka.

I’m quite a ‘girly girl’ when it comes to fashion, but I’m really loving the parka trend! It’s a little outside my normal dress code, but a warm comfy jacket never goes astray in winter right?  Whilst it’s taken me quite some time to choose the perfect parka – one that is just slightly more form-fitting than the average parka, yet still warm enough for winter, and versatile enough to dress up or down.  After many weeks searching , I finally found one that I love from boohoo.com and the best part is, it’s feminine and really versatile!  I’m not really a ‘hoodie’ wearer, but this parka does come with a hood zipped into the collar. It has a fully adjustable waistline and you can also adjust the hem for either a ‘lantern’ or ‘swing-style’ finish and it’s finished at the back with coat-tail detailing.  The one I chose, which you can find you can find here is actually on sale for $50 right now, which is a steal because when I got mine it was 75 bucks! – Why does that always happen to me?

So we decided to head to a nearby reserve and get some snaps wearing my new parka (ok truth be told, the reserve was an excuse to wear my gumboots that I’m a little obsessed with at the moment)…

Yeeeaaaah, I’m laughing here because seconds prior – I nearly ended up in the water

For a more ‘sports luxe’ look (and heading to Cafe Melba for brunch) I’ve opted for a pair of jeans from Maxshop.com, hightop wedge sneakers, Cotton On nautical top, Juliette Hogan necklace and my favourite Colette Hayman studded bag…

Next – we headed into Ellerslie township (this is the train station, which I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve never actually been on a train since I was about 4, but hey it made for a nice setting) and in these snaps I’m wearing my boohoo.com parka with my Decjuba singlet, long-sleeved Ricochet top, Decjuba leggings, and Overland leather riding boots…

For a slightly more dressy look, I’ve swapped out the riding boots for high-heeled ankle boots from NumberOneShoes…

I hope this ‘Style Sessions’ post has inspired you to give the parka trend a whirl, or if you already own a parka – perhaps inspired a couple of new ways to wear it.

Have a fabulous week.

Fashion Beauty Lifestyle Blogger A Girl Interrupted By Fashion, Beauty & Anything Pretty That Catches My Eye. Editor Angie Fredatovich. The Miscellaneous Musings Of A Girl Interrupted By Fashion, Beauty & Anything Pretty That Catches My Eye. I am passionately in love with the colour green!! I've always loved green, even as a child. My mother said this would wane as I got older. it did not!! I love nothing more than having the mundane interrupted by all things beautiful and fashionable. Passing time in tiny cafes with a pot of tea and a pile of magazines. Sitting under a tree with my favourite book or ‘old-school’ journal jotting down blogging ideas. Taking photographs of beautiful things, sitting front row at Fashion Week. Giant bunches of fragrant flowers, burning Ecoya candles, vintage jewellery. Trawling antique shops and markets for antique books, writing slopes and jewellery boxes. Hibernating indoors by the fire during winter, laying on freshly mowed grass eating pastries and sipping on raspberry lemonade during summer. The red sole of louboutins, exciting parcels arriving at the door with forgotten online purchases or product samples. Unwrapping the tissue of ‘just bought’ items of clothing from my favourite stores, Marc Jacobs, Karen Walker, Storm, Decjuba, Glassons, Loumina, Country Road, Bobbi Brown, MAC, oh the list goes on… Please do write to me at any time with comments, invites, press notes, media releases, things you’d like me to try and your own favourite finds. There’s nothing I love more than to connect with fellow Beauty Gurus & Fashionistas alike. You can reach me at angie@gurlinterrupted.com Ange xx
