Even before I started interning at Urban Outfitters it made up nearly half of my wardrobe, so putting 6 of my favourite outfits together wasn't exactly difficult. The fact that I see nearly all the product on a daily basis means it was an interesting challenge to style some outfits from the clothes I'm already quite used to. However as per usual Urban had plenty to offer and I conjured up some looks for me and several of my alter egos.
Disclaimer:
-
I'm not a fan of bras, hence the lack of one throughout, Urban however does have an amazing intimates selection if that's what your into.
-
I was limited on my choice of shoes, due to timing and general laziness, what I've learned - Converse and adidas go with everything.
-
I still haven't mastered the art of selfie posing, even as a blogger, you can see I can barely even stand looking at myself.

Changing rooms get very sweaty, apologies for how flustered I appear, I think it's click and collect for me from now on.
Look 1: Beige Neutrals:
The bomber jacket has surpassed it’s 15mins of fame and transformed into an essential wardrobe staple, I genuinely can’t remember what I wore before they came and changed my life, my leather jacket has been seriously neglected. Getting on board with the tonal trends I found so many great neutral basics in urban, the ribbed bodies make a solid crop top alternative for when you’re having one of those days. I guess with this outfit I was basically channelling what I’d wear to a Drake concert.
Bomber jacket £59, ribbed body £13.30
Look 2: Innocent and Pure:
This delicate dress caught my eye as it is not something I would usually wear. The quality and embroidery were too good to pass up though, and curiosity go the better of me. Me and Converse have been on a break the last couple of years but we’re taking some baby steps, throwing a pair on with this dress seemed natural though, maybe there is hope for us yet. I would wear this while leisurely strolling through the streets of Venice, even if I do feel like an extra from the Sound of Music.
Dress £89
Look 3: Ibiza Chic:
I’m a sucker for some bright colours, and this dress at first glance puts me straight into holiday mode. It’s my perfect summer dress, simple enough to be thrown over a bikini on the beach but not so flimsy that it can’t be worn out and about. Not to be a cliché but this dress can and will take you from day to night and its shape is seriously flattering. It will help you look bright and cheerful, even in the cruel light of a hungover morning.
Dress£46
Look 4: Sophisticated Camo:
It’s hard not to notice that military is having a bit of a moment. Not the biggest fan of the traditional camouflage myself I thought I’d double up on two Urban Renewal khaki pieces and make it more of a nod to military rather than a full 'blend-into-my-surroundings' print. The cropped flare fit of these trousers is my absolute favourite cut these days and the light jacket is perfect to toss on when you’re in a hurry.
Look 5: Lazy Loungewear:
This is taking athleisure to another level. These joggers are made of quite possibly the softest fabric in existence and paired with a graphic tee that is fairly self-explanatory and extremely accurate. One could argue this ensemble belongs only at home, but as a firm believer that comfort and style can go hand in hand and having spent too many days in uncomfortable jeans, I challenge you to add loungewear to your outfit repertoire, your body will thank you.
Look 6: Punk Princess:
This look is the perfect example of how I have battled the UK’s stressful seasons. Too hot for a jumper too cold for a tank top, toss a t-shirt under your slip dress and make the best of both worlds, while nailing two trends for spring summer, slip dresses and band tees. This is going to be my festival staple, as I aim to add a bit more glam to my life. If you’re feeling badass toss a tiara on and channel your inner Saint Laurent.
Slip dress£42
