Jess

Jess is always the team member most willing to take a trend to the extremes, so I challenged her with doubling up her prints. The key to making a print-on-print outfit work lies in keeping at least one element similar so there’s at least a tiny bit of cohesion (in this look it’s the black base colour in both the Primark blazer and Holly Fulton skirt). Kudos to Jess for also working in a bralet. She’s a braver woman than me!
