Ashley James appeared on This Morning this week and wore a seriously chic pastel suit, and viewers couldn't get enough.
The 38-year-old broadcaster dressed perfectly for the gorgeous weather we've been having with a stunning two-piece suit from Very. In fact, this isn't just any suit, it's part of the Michelle Keegan x Very collection and has been the unofficial star of the spring/summer collection.
Taking to Instagram after the show aired, Ashley wrote: "Sorry, SO many questions about my outfit today and just getting to my phone," and told her 476k Instagram followers where her entire outfit was from.

The blazer and trousers combo looked fabulous on the This Morning sofa, but in real life it would look excellent for a wedding guest look or for a christening. The lightweight suit is designed to be worn a tad oversized, comes with a neck scarf that can be worn as a belt - but Ashley opted to wear it without.

The mum-of-one accessorised to perfection wearing a pair of Charles Keith pointy stilettos - a pair of shoes that will work with everything. Completing the look with gold jewellery from Soru, Ashley went for the statement 'Silvanus' earrings, which cost £250. The vintage stye large domed stud earrings have a textured surface and looked great on screen, especially because she wore her hair up, letting her earrings have a starring role.
The Very website describes this suit as green, but to the naked eye it looks very similar to the butter yellow trend that's taking the fashion world by storm.

Just recently I created a whole edit of butter yellow dresses, but I think this suit is a real contender for being the occasionwear outfit of the season.
