This week I'm loving: Nichole Richie

Nicole Richie somehow came out of The Simple Life/reality TV on top. She has blossomed from Paris’ best friend to a fashion icon and designer in her own right. Stylist Rachel Zoe’s boho touch has clearly rubbed off on Nichole, and I can’t think of a time that I have thought Nicole looked bad (minus her velour tracksuit stage, obviously).
Hot pants and shorts are staples in my wardrobe. Come rain or shine I wear them. This particular outfit is more suited to our cold climate, unless you are brave enough to bare your legs in the British winter.
Shorts and tights can be hard to pull off; you need to select the right denim and length. Too long and you will look like a badly dressed aunt, and too light can look cheap or mismatched.
I have jazzed up the shirt to a blouse, but there is always the option to stick to the plain oxford shirt (Uniqlo £14.99) as featured in my Jameela Jamil post.

Depending on the occasion you can smarten up the outfit or keep it laid back. I quite like the waistcoat over the blouse, but if you have work in mind then the blazers are perfect! Thick tights also work best, you can get really good thermal fleece lined ones in primark for £3 a pair, or the staple marks and spencers tights are 60 denier packs of three pairs for £4.
