Ray of Sunshine

The sun is back and so am I! Been so busy lately enjoying the sun but I'm finally back to blogging. I thought I would make the most of the sun with this summery outfit complete with a bright sunshine yellow.

Top//Topshop
Shorts//Misselfrdige
Leather Waistcoat//New Look
Jelly Shoes//Zara
Sunglasses//TITP stall
Choker//Ebay

As well as the yellow, I am also loving lace and crochet this Summer. I eventually managed to get this crop top in my local Topshop store after it being sold out online in my size. It's definitely a popular Summer item! As always I can't help myself when it comes to sales and these jelly shoes were a steal at only £5. Lastly, my favourite Summer accessory at the moment are these black, round sunglasses which I bought at a stall at T in the Park. I love the shape, but I know some people can be a bit wary if it suits them. Give it a go! 

Hope you're all enjoying the sun...

A Zest for Zara

Bowler Hat - Forever 21
T-Shirt - Zara
Shorts - Zara
Boots - Primark
Necklace - New Look

If I step into Zara and I don't buy anything, or at least want something, there is something seriously wrong! Due to Zara delivering new products to their stores twice a week, I constantly find myself in there at least once a week - definitely a shopaholic... 

Yesterday, while waiting for a train, I popped into Zara and made a few impulse buys in the form of some lovely lace shorts and the 'something very addictive' t-shirt you see in the pictures above. I kind of bought these separately but when I got home and tried them on I thought they actually looked really nice together. I've styled this with my bowler hat that I purchased last month in Glasgow and my black and gold boots from Primark. I'll probably need to wear some tights though since it's freezing here in Scotland!

Also loving how I look pretty tanned in these photos!

How To Wear: Forest Green

Dress - Topshop
Shoes - Oh My Love
Bracelet - Primark

As my final post of my 'How To Wear' themed coursework for university, I've decided to embrace the fact that it's getting closer and closer to Christmas by showing you my latest purchase which will be making an appearance at work/Christmas nights out. 

Recently I read a trend report for the colour 'Forest Green', which is set to be a growing colour trend in the lead up to Christmas. It's no surprise that Topshop have caught on to this quick, tempting me into my latest purchase.

What I love about this dress is that it's really unusual! It's not only the colour that stands out but the different layers on the dress make it quite eye-catching and unique. It sort of looks like a separate crop top and skirt which is joined together by a black mesh, exposed at the back as the fabric splits in two showing the gold zip. 

Due to the high neck and lace fabric, I've kept the jewellery to a minimum with a simple gold bracelet as the dress is already quite intricate and detailed. I've added simple black platforms and worn my hair up as I think this shows the neckline and detailing of the dress better. 

Hope you've enjoyed reading my 'How To Wear' themed project and haven't been too bored of my constant posts!
