Wearing - Penfield Down Jacket | Libertine-Libertine Jumper | Selected Homme Chinos | adidas Stan Smith Trainers | Harry Stedman White T-Shirt | Ralph Lauren Socks | Dents Scarf | ASOS Hat
Cast your minds back to just before Christmas and you may remember me mentioning that I'd been challenged by ASAP54 to pick an outfit out, by using their new app. For those who don't remember, the ASAP54 app helps you discover new items of clothing + brands, simply
by uploading any photography. After a few days of "ASAPing" I'd managed to gain a bunch of new followers, and Pantone picked up on one of my images. Result!
I used the app by uploading my some inspiring and colourful images, and then picked out items from the results I got back. The idea was to choose pieces that I wouldn't have necessarily chosen for myself, or considered in the past. It was first time I'd ventured into the down jacket territory since I was a kid, and I'm glad as it's flipping freezing up here right now. Also the Libertine Libertine jumper isn't a style I would usually consider either - it's navy, black, white, striped, spotty, cashmere....ultra busy indeed. I'm glad I tried something new though, life would be pretty magnolia if we ate beans on toast every day. I finished off the ASAPing with a pair of Stan Smiths. Ah....busted, this is where the beans analogy falls down - that's my second pair of these in a year.
I'm happy with the outfit in the main, but I would bin off the scarf and go for different coloured socks next time. They just down sit right for me. Overall I'm pleased with the items that I found by using ASAP54, and I had fun using more visual and interactive kind of social network. Did any of you get chance to try the app out?
Thanks for visiting,

For this collaboration I was gifted vouchers to use to buy items using the ASAP54 app.
I hadn't heard about this app before, sounds like it would be fun to use. I feel like puffy jackets are okay when it gets to a certain level of cold, haha.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold enough, hovering around zero most days. You're funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! Haha I giggled at your venture into down jackets, the first since being a kid. living in Canada means I have only the puffiest fluffiest most giant parka for a good 3 or 4 months.
ReplyDeleteReally like this outfit!
Great outfit, and this app sounds amazing! I've never heard of it but I'm going to try it out!
ReplyDeleteWow! Talk about a cool/innovative idea! I'm checking them out right now!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun and creative app. I've actually started wearing down jackets recently too. I've finally relented to the cold, haha.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great little app. That jumper is awesome - I don't mind a bit of a busy jumper. I've not given into the down jacket just yet. I've not found one I really like yet and most of the ones I've seen remind me too much of my mum who (quite rightly) swears by them!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is busy. I like that isn't not my usual style. The down jacket has been a solid purchase Winnie, I've got a circulation problem so anything extra to keep me warm is a winner. Your mum sounds like a wise lady.
ReplyDeleteI dont know why I've avoided them for so long, they're so practical and warm. Still buying this I actually bought another too, more outdoorsy type.
ReplyDeleteWorth a go, I'm @mat_buckets
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this app but I'll have to give it a try now, very curious! It's a really cool concept and probably challenges you to push your boundaries and really dress outside the box?
