I can’t tell I have a very bold style when it comes to fashion. What I think daring might be absolutely ordinary to someone else. I wear what I like and feel good in. Which is good. But since I have fully embraced being a fashion blogger, I have tried to be more daring fashion wise. And today makes not exception as I try to pull off this orange print co-ord!
Yes, you read right! First time wearing a co-ord. Ever!
Even though co-ords have been around for quite a while, I had always assume they were appropriate for a holiday but nowhere else. Until they started to become elaborate, come in all designs and styles and made it to the street. But I still had that block. Co-ords were for the beach. Period And when I started to consider maybe trying co-ords, I convinced myself I could never pull it off.
You know, those body issues, showing my tummy, etc.
I eventually went over it and made the jump. I spotted this amazing orange print co-ord from Pretty Little Thing and could not resist. Just too cute. And I guess you never know until you try! And although I would not wear this particular co-ord at work and would be 100% wearing it on holiday, I think I am sold! Loving it! And already looking for other styles that are more office appropriate.
Co-ords also work super well on a night out. You can mix and match, which is quite cool. Don’t like the top? Well, go have a look at some going out tops*! Don’t like the bottom? Swap it for a pair of trousers or cool shorts! Celebrating my 26th birthday in two weeks and looking for something to wear… maybe I should go for a co-ord! What do you think?
Shop the outfit
What do you think of this outfit? Sold as well? Do you wear co-ords? What’s your opinion on them? Considering trying them?
Thanks a lot for stopping by! Hope you liked this post.
See you soon,

Pretty outfit and even prettier model!
That top would look great on trousers.
Nice post!
How do you always get it spot on? I am jealous of your styling skills.

It’s great that the outfit is flexible so you can wear a different top or bottom with it depending on where you are going. Looks great on you.
I absolutely love how sassy you look in these photos and it’s funny because it was your first time trying a co-ord and you looked so fierce. As you know I am super extra so I would wear a co-ord even when I am not on holiday, I would probably wear this outfit at home, because it looks super comfy, although I also need that black shaggy cardigan in my life as well. The location definitely helped create a holiday vibe as well, it was like we were shooting in Spain aha! xx
Love love love your style! I’m not sure I could pull of these particular colors – I’m more of a pastel gal myself – but you look absolutely amazing! I would, however, totally borrow that black jacket/sweater thing!
I wear orange but have never worn oranges lol. The colour suits you and I love bold colours as well.
That’s so cute! I’ve never bought a full co-ord outfit before, but you definitely pull it off!
This outfit is gorgeous, you suit it so well! I think you’ve convinced me to buy a co-ord set now ? I need to buy some new holiday clothes for next month, so they’re definitely going on my list!

I love the dress. Love such prints and the short skirt. Makes me look tall. Will look for something like this. 😀
I think you look fab! i love the colours, and you look so confident and cool 🙂 I’m not sure I’d feel I could pull it off just yet. I didn’t know that type of outfit was called a Co-ord, guess you learn something new every day!
This looks good on you. It’s not really my type but I would love the same fabric on a top.
I love how well you coordinated the colors of your outfit with the background. No, I can’t say I’ve worn co-ords before. I’ll definitely give them further thought. Love your bag!
This is super cute and you ROCK it! I haven’t been dating enough to try a two piece look like this yet.. maybe some day!
Stylin! Love the energy you give in your pics!
You rock it well! Way to breakthrough the midriff-baring fear. I’m not there yet. Got a bit of baby weight still left to go 😉 <3
That has to be one of the more fun outfits I have ever seen you wear. Not sure my daughter would do that because of how busy it is. But I think you look amazing in it. And you are anything but normal. Hope you are having an amazing week.
I love your spirit of being fashion daring. The outfit looks cute on you and the sunglasses make the look ?Thanks for inspiring me.
Such a beautiful outfit. I absolutely love the color
That outfit is so cute! I love the fun print. Perfect for the Summer.
Your dress looks fabulous! I would wear that as well especially am here in a tropical country.
You look so hot! er, cool? Either way, you look amazing in that outfit. Perfect for festival-ing 🙂
What a cute outfit! So perfect for summer!
This dress is so lovely. I like the print. You look so beautiful in this.
This is such a cute co-ord. Very fun and loving the orange print, really suits you.
Orange color and orange print?! Damn, you’re carrying it so great. Love your style, keep rockin’ it! <3
I’ve been after a co-ord set for AGES but I’m yet to find the perfect one! This is so cute <3
