January 2017 Fashion Favourites is a roundup of all the fashion #ootd and ideas I shared during the month. Normally you would expect to see FOUR fashion posts but sometimes I do more than usual. Each Month has 4/5 Monday’s which makes 4/5 Fashion outfit ideas which are included in the Fashion Favourites. January has been a rollercoaster of a month for me, so many good and happy things have happened including lack of motivation. The last of motivation in other areas in my life sparked motivation to share fashion ideas. With that in mind, here are the January 2017 Fashion Favourites.
January 2017 Fashion Favourites
I started the year very colourful and I aim to stay that way. Though I hardly ever share ootds featuring me, this year I wanted to make an effort. I even managed to purchase a nice bridge camera last year in the Black Friday sales.
Another aspect of fashion that I don’t often dwell on is men’s fashion but I had fun putting this outfit together. I am no expert in men’s fashion but I am using my brother as a muse as he knows how to dress.
Winter has made its presence known in many countries and the UK is no exception. It was prudent for me to share this outfit to show my readers how I am embracing the season.
January Fashion Wishlist
Though technically not a Fashion Monday post, it still made the cut because it’s fashion post. There are so many things I want this month but I choose to focus on things that would provide warmth.
And because a leather jacket is a staple in my wardrobe, I had to share how I love to style it. Everyone has their preference but for me during autumn and winter, this is how I prefer to rock my leather jacket.
With only two weeks left before the day of the lovers, I got in early and gave an outfit inspo for the day. Not all of us want to dress in all red so I gave some other options.
Black on Black
The beauty of black on black outfits is that you can’t go wrong in terms of styling them. The majority of us gravitate towards the darker colours in winter and black on black is the most popular.
In fashion, there are so many inventions that there is never a dull moment. I hadn’t known there was such a thing as sleeve wingz so it was a huge shock for me. To be honest I am still amazed today as to whose idea it was to make sleeve wingz. Granted they are very useful and definitely add style to an outfit but still huh!!
As if you haven’t had enough of my New Look leather jacket, a staple item in my closet. I thought I share another simple yet stylish look I rocked recently at a concert in Birmingham. This is one look that never gets old nor far from being repeated over and over again.
Which of these outfits I shared in January where your favourites? For new readers, the January 2017 Fashion Favourites roundup is an opportunity to check out what you’ve missed.

You can dress anything up with black pants or leather jacket. They will never be out of style. And everyone of us must own a leather jacket in our wardrobe. Aside from fashion, we can also use this anytime of the year and of course for warming benefits.
