At the beginning of the year, I gave you all an inside into
my wardrobe, now its summer and the weather here in England is nice and hot, so
obviously I’ve been doing a little bit of shopping, resulting in a few
additions to my wardrobe. So I thought I’d do an updated summer version of my
wardrobe and show you some of the outfits I’ll be wearing this season.
This summer I’m wearing pastel hues. I own a lot of black so
before buying any new clothes, I made a promise with myself to stop buying black
and to inject a bit of colour into my wardrobe. Needless to say I found this a
little difficult, the majority of items I picked up in shops were black and I
found myself having to talk my self out of buying them.
Last year I fell in love with pastel colours, anything from
nail varnish to instagram photos, if its pastel I’m all over it. So on one of my many visits to Topshop
recently I picked up one of their scallop cropped vests in mint green, its one
of my favourite items of clothing I own, not only do I love the colour and
cropped scallop edge, the light delicate material is perfect for scorching hot
days. I like to pair this vest with high waisted blue jeans and shorts but here
I’ve paired them with my favourite pair of jeans and most recent purchase; Topshops
Moto white and blue tile print Leigh jeans. These jeans are the perfect fit and
I love the geometric tile print pattern.
I style this outfit with a silver chain necklace and an assortment of
silver midi rings, all H&M, a bracelet from Miss Selfridge, a pair of ray
ban style glasses and a summer scarf from John Lewis for chillier days. The
sandals are from Topshop last year and the satchel is from Zatchels in pastel
blue.
For days where I am at the beach or just sat reading a book
in the garden I want to wear something comfy and casual. I recently visited the
H&M store in Whitely; I usually avoid my local store because its way too
packed and untidy for me but the whitely store looked really inviting and their
displays really inspired me, so much so, that I walked out with a massive bag. I
picked up a few tops and accessories as well as a light pink pair of shorts for
£7. I could have picked up a pair in each colour and print had they had my
size. They fit so well and I love the colour and high waisted cut. These shorts
are also so easy to wear and can be paired with cropped tops and shirts. Here I
paired them with a white cami from Asos, which came in a pack of two. I find this
look really easy to style with jewellery and wear with a bikini. I’ve styled this outfit with a silver chunky
chain necklace (Miss Selfridge) and blue and white striped espadrilles from New
Look.
Now I know I said I agreed not to buy anymore black but I
made an exception for this patterned cropped cami. As soon as I picked it from
the rail in Topshop, I fell in love with it so I was willing to break the
rules; at least it isn’t plain black. I love the tropical pattern and wide edged
lace trim around the bottom, which creates the look of being cropped but still
covers my stomach. While in Topshop I also picked up a pair of high waisted distressed
shorts. I’ve teamed them with the cami and a pair of black converses, for a
laid back and feminine look. For an evening look the cami can be worn with
high-waisted black trousers or skirt.
