I absolutely adore this blouse on you, Lily! And i love the ribbon as well x

I really love this look, I'm wary of wearing buttoned up shirts too but I love what you've done with the bow, so cute! The blue and the camel look great together!

Wow!! Deffo favourite Lily outfit now! You look so lovely :)

Glad to hear the sleeping is getting better, i need to sort mine out big time. Also well done for the dis, i wish i could get motivated!

the blouse is gorgeous! would never have guessed it was from h&m! i got that leopard print jacket today, but its an xmas present from the boy so im not allowed it for the next 3 weeks boo:( x

You definitely suit the blouse!

Lily I love this! I made a little tie like this too, it totally revamps any shirt! I love that colour too,especially against the camel. Really beautiful outfit post, i love love love! You should have a hot toddy...that will send u right off to sleep (a nip of whisky,boiling water and cloves) at the risk of sounding like an old man it totally works!

Love this new look, looks so cute with the coat! Also glad about the whole sleeping thing, deadlines wreak havoc with my sleeping pattern too, so I can understand.
I haven't left the house for two days, the snow is awful!

Ahh you look lovely! Totally loving the tie ribbon and the denim against the camel <3

this is one of my favs. i never would have thought of buying a cheap ribbon and adding it to a shirt! guess it shows how uncreative i am hah. the blue looks really good with the coat too.

I am loving shirts and blouses at the moment. Seems to be all I'm wearing.
I love this kind of look on you, and the ribbon makes all the difference! Great idea :)

i LOVE this blouse and ribbon look, it's so cute.
i can never pull this off, it just looks either victorian-boy or too-high-neck on me.
looks great on you though.

wow i love it! it seems like such a simple idea to use a ribbon as a neck tie but it looks really cool :)

it looks lovely!
xx

I love the new ribbon idea, Lily. It is really good and you really suit it!

aaww I really love this outfit! That blouse looks so good, and the ribbon idea, you always inspire me, Lily!

The necktie idea is GENIUS! Lovely outfit :)
I feel your pain with the sleeping thing- its taken two duvets and two sheets to finally give me a solid night's sleep; i don't deal with the cold well at all!

The shirt looks really good on you, very Alexa! I'm sure I saw Carrie create a bow tie similar to this a while back?
Definately get a leopard print coat!! I got the Topshop one with the pom poms and its so warm :)

Ok THIS is officially my favourite of your looks. Very chic, very preppy (in a good way) and very Gossip Girl. I'm just about to upgrade to the Canon 1000D myself, cannot wait! X

Aw, yeah, the bow's well cute - totally makes it. Ah, the beauty of a well placed accessory...

Lovely lily! Great outfit, love the bow tie.

this is brill :)

great idea for the tie!

XXXX

The tie on you reminds me on Blair Waldorf some way, but only a little)
Love the look when the shirt is above skirt. It looks a bit messy, but the thing is it's a variant for going out, and when the shirt is in the skirt -it's office variant)
hope you understand me, cause my English is sucks))))

The shirt definitely suits you! I love wearing a ribbon or lace with shirts, it just gives it a little something extra. I doubt it was my blog you saw it on, but I blogged about it a while ago :)

yay, Marina and the Diamonds. :) I saw her live and she was fantastic, she's got a great voice.
love the shirt, it totally suits you!

The ribbon's such a good idea! I never ever thought to just go and buy some - it's so obvious, how come I never thought?! Now that you've alerted me to my own stupidity I think I might go out and get some for my shirts tomorrow!
