“New Beginnings, New Wardrobe”, by Kirsten Ferguson

It’s that time of year again when we reflect on the months passed and attempt to make resolutions that we are bound to break. To kick-start a new era, I’ve endeavoured to cleanse my wardrobe. Too often does a typical morning entail standing before my crammed wardrobe and being lost for something to wear. But, as a resolution, I’m taking my wardrobe back to basics with the help ofArteecollage clothing.

Firstly, I’m overhauling my wardrobe with this Women’s Black Modal Tank Vest. Flattering with its dark hue, which is just what I need after raiding the Quality Street tin over Christmas, this women’s plain black top can be easily adapted to any occasion. The black modal vest is on sale at £12 so it won’t break the bank and is a steal considering the luxe Modal fabric.

To achieve an urban chic look, I pair my black Arteecollage vest with Oasis Khaki Jeans, which makes this outfit ideal and easy to wear for a lunch date or for evening cocktails. Throw on a Topshop Zip charm collar and a pair of Miss Selfridge Black Point Court Heels and the effortless look is complete!

For the transition into night, a skirt is a must. This Ursula Heavy Sequin mini skirt from boohoo.com is perfect. The Aztec print catches the eye and complements the Arteecollage vest by setting it off effortlessly. For accessories, this short necklace from River Island draws attention without taking away from the detail of the skirt. The Miss Selfridge heels are used here again as the simplicity of the heels do not distract from the standout skirt.

  This black modal vest can easily become a staple in any wardrobe and be worn for just about any occasion in 2013. The adaptability means that it can be paired with different accessories and garments to create a totally different look every day of the week!

EMMA SALTER: TODAY I’M WEARING

Creating urban chic, but with an effortlessly elegant approach, is what we take pride in at Arteecollage. Our splendid range of modal tees are quietly unique, with their subtle twists on a faithful wardrobe staple. Nowhere is this more evident than with our asymmetric neckline on the ‘mysterious tee’. Available in a wonderful range of hues such as neutral beige and tomato red, compiling a contemporary look has never been more fun with our collection. Here’s how our lovely blogger Emma Salter wore her ATC tee.

‘Arteecollage: Chic Style’ by Emma Salter

Today I’m wearing this chic Modal fabric red tee from the Arteecollage range, and teaming it with my lovely pink frill hem mini skirt from the Topshop sale, my floral Dr Martins and my urban mirror stud clutch from Miss Selfridge (pictured above)

The great thing about Arteecollage is that all their garments are crafted in pure and flowing modal fabric. This design glides on the skin like silk and creates a classic look with its feminine asymmetrical neckline! My mother always told me never to wear red and pink together as they clash, but the rich red tone in this tee offers a dark and mysterious style making it ideal for adapting to multiple seasons and styles.

Finishing off my chic outfit, I am wearing a quirky contemporary moustache necklace from New Look.

This ‘Mysterious Tee’ is your perfect staple for an urban chic outfit and, thanks to the Modal fabric creating a silky classic smart casual look, I will be able to wear it with anything as it is so comfortable and chic! It is rare to find a basic tee that still makes you feel elegant and feminine. Once you feel the luxury quality of this tee, you will never want to shop high-street basics again!
