It's gonna be a lovely day

Summer is here! Well, it feels like it for now anyway. 

Reading a book by the river near my house, larrrvely.

I bared my legs for the first time this year today, but then hid them under a long jersey skirt. I'm loving this black one at the moment, I've worn it so many times recently but it's so easy to wear (and is so comfortable!).

Daisy daisy

Bargain of the month - I bought a beautiful daisy print jumpsuit from Topshop for only £15 down from £60, what a find. I can't wait to wear it on it's own in summer, but for a night out on Friday I wore it as trousers with a t-shirt, black jacket and - gold socks! Wearing loose trousers on a night out is so liberating and comfortable!

Hand me down

I had this beautiful shirt handed down to me by my Granny last week. It's so lovely, it has satin lapels and pockets and double buttons on the cuffs. I met up with some of my girlfriends for lunch today so i thought it would be a nice time to wear it. Typically I put it with my gross old jeans (I don't wear any other pairs at the moment, I think I should probably throw them away but I love them!), my trusty navy blazer and new KG clogs. There's something really lovely about wearing a hand-me-down, Granny was telling me about all the outfits she teamed it with and where she wore it and it's so nice to be able to continue wearing it. 

Clash

Clashing prints and velvet - I like to throw it all on at once, a bit of clothes-vomit. The peace necklace was a present from my parents a couple of birthdays ago, I love it so much. 

(As I said before, I really can't do 'outfit' photos well)

Some other new additions to my wardrobe:

Oh tieee

I'm having one of those experimental phases where you know you will look back and think 'why on earth did I think that looked ok??'. At the moment it is with ties - without shirts. I don't know what possessed me but I added an old, man's tie to my jumper and jeans on New Years Eve and then for a night out last night I added one to a bandeau top. I just kind of liked it, although looking back on it this morning I think it was bit a of a bad choice! I'm sure that won't stop me next time, I have a bright yellow one with little blue flowers on that I'm waiting to crack out.

(excuse the very dirty mirror and teef-flashing, I'm no good at 'outfit' photos as you can see)
