OUTFIT | #6

t-shirt: Forever 21, trousers: Topshop, heels: Red Herring

Sometimes you buy an item of clothing that you just can't stop wearing. This is the case with these trousers I bought from Topshop last week. I find myself wanting to plan endless outfits around them. The other day, I even saw they had them in black too and am entertaining the idea of snapping those up too. Buying the same item in another colour is something I never do!

I've wanted a pair of linen trousers for a while but I wasn't interested in the baggier variety - I'm just not a fan of loose-fitting trousers. These are high-waisted and tapered, which was perfect. It's so satisfying when you finally find that one item you've been searching for for months (/cheesy gushing).

But really, I just love these trousers. 'Nuff said.

OUTFIT | #5

I think it's a pretty well-established British trait to whip out the summer clothes at the first sign of any sunshine. With highs of 20 degrees Celsius predicted today, how could I resist wearing my new Topshop sundress to celebrate the occasion? Who knows how long the weather will stay this nice!

This is the first sundress I've bought this year too. I just love the waist detail on this one, which is better viewed in the second picture. I don't own many sundresses though, so hopefully that will change this summer. I feel much more inclined to wear dresses since my Dress Week project, I've not even reached for my jeans!

OUTFIT | #4

I know, I could have worn cuter shoes but it was icy so forgive a girl.

OUTFIT | #3

Okay so maybe I'm cheating here and I actually wore this a few days ago and am actually welcoming in the New Year in my oh-so-stylish PJs but if I actually had plans tonight, I'd probably wear something like this. Happy New Year everyone.

OUTFIT | #2

I like summer. The fact that it's light outside for all but a few hours a day, the pretty scenery, the glorious weather. But there's something about summer that just accentuates my lazy nature. Maybe it's the heat but I tend to become very lethargic during the summer months. I rarely bother to think about my outfit, especially since I often don't have much to do during the day. Every so often, I think that perhaps I should organise something with some friends and go be active. But then I forget and the cycle continues.

Hopefully I'm going to the beach soon. With any luck I'll go next week. In the mean time, I simply read and listen to music for most of the day. I would sit out in my garden but (and here's a confession) I am terribly afraid of wasps and bees - to the point that I will avoid going outdoors so that I don't come across any. Hence the fact that I'm still very pale when it's nearly July!

A friend bought me this necklace for Christmas. The watch never tells the time correctly, no matter how hard I try. Still, it's one of my favourites.

I have a feeling I failed on the shoe front today. No pair I tried on looked quite right. I have such a limited shoe collection though since I'm always attracted to heels over flats. I always seem to pass by sensible shoes in favour of prettier ones that I know I'll rarely wear, but buy anyway.
