How To Live The High Life For Less | OOTD

When I first saw this shaggy navy coat in Zara, it was love at first sight. It's so cosy and is one of those items that can be thrown over any outfit and give that effortless cool impression. And whilst I'm a Zara lover through and through, I'm equally a fan of its lesser known, and cheaper, little sister brand Stradivarius.

The brand originated in Barcelona, and now ships to over 60 countries. There's hundreds of stores in Spain, but only a few in the UK, however I can definitely recommend their website and shipping service.

The leather look skirt I'm wearing is from Stradivarius, and it looks much more expensive than its £17.99 price tag, making the shop a great alternative to some of the more pricey high street stores. The quality is also exceptional, and the website offers a mix of classic staples for low prices, along with some edgier items which can freshen up your wardrobe.

The skirt comes in three colours; black, tan and burgundy, in a surprisingly flattering A-line style. I also bought this suede button down A-line skirt, and that's equally cute and well made- it looks so similar to this Topshop design, but at £29.99 to Topshop's £75 it was a no brainer!
