The Model and Me: Firefly

I’m no stranger to the tunic and leggings look as a jeans/knit alternative for autumn-winter.

I recently featured a kimono-style tunic from Rasaleela, and today I’m featuring a shirt-style from Firefly.

I personally love both shapes – variety being the spice of life and all.

Firefly is an Australian label which is ethically produced by a family-run manufacturer in India. You can read more here.

and me

Firefly Karo tunic* (I’m 166cm and wearing XL) | Firefly Isla vest* (I’m wearing XL) | O2Wear leggings (I’m wearing L) | FRANKiE4 Footwear LiZ boots

Of course I had to go and throw a knit vest on over the top of the tunic, didn’t I? You might remember a certain short Firefly vest that I wore on high rotation last year. That was Firefly.

I’ll be trotting it out again when it cools down but I’ll be mixing it up with this longline version too. It’s 100% cotton and incredibly soft. It does offer some warmth and I love that it allows you to play with lengths in an outfit.

The vest would be equally at home with jeans and a shirt or long-sleeve top. Did I mention it also comes in black? 🙂

But back to the tunic … as you can see, the length of the tunic on me is considerably longer than that of the model. This is something to always factor in if you are shorter than model height.

The tunic is generous and I could have easily worn the L. I do love the print and I love that it’s in a weight that’s wearable in a mild winter and layer-able if you live somewhere colder.

These leggings are The Business. They’re for sale in the Styling You Shop until Wednesday, so do yourself a favour and grab a twin pack.

So tell me, are you a fan of a tunic/leggings look? And do you collect winter layering pieces like I do?
