Pinch, punch, first day of the month! I can't believe how quickly March went by, next week my second term at university will be over and not long after I'll be sitting my first year exams *eeek*! As soon as the sun is out my legs are out too, it seems to be protocol. I'm definitely making the most of the sunshine whenever its about - it feels like winter lasted way too long! Today's outfit is a monochrome look with a pop of colour once again...
In my last outfit post, here, I wore an all black look and then added pink to brighten it up. In this look I've done something similar - for me all black and monochrome looks are saved for winter because the dull weather doesn't make you feel like a ray of sunshine, but the summer is the perfect opportunity to go crazy with colour! However, when this doesn't come across in the clothes I'm wearing I find other ways to add colour.
I think every girl (and guy) has a plain black T-shirt in their wardrobe, I wore mine with monochrome floral shorts. I love these, they're perfect for summer, they're slightly high waisted and fit really nicely - usually I struggle to find high waisted shorts that fit me properly because my hips are much larger than my waist - most of the time I end up with an annoying gap at the back but these have a tight fit which prevents that. I then wore my favourite fluffy cardigan which I think is perfect for spring.
The clutch was an impromptu buy when I was in Scotland a while back; we needed some cheap snow boots so we went to Deichmann, known for it's low priced shoes, but I spotted this bag while we were paying and had to get it too! It's a super cute cyan blue (hence the name of this post) with silver detailing. I added very minimal silver jewellery and the sun meant sunglasses time! My hair looks horrible and dead in the sun too - but I have cut it! I have another 3 long haired posts to come and then I should have short hair in my posts, representing me right now haha!

ReplyDeleteThe lighting for this one wasn't that good either... Sunsets aren't a very good time for photoshoots >_<

Yeah I agree, look at my hair.. it's awful! I didn't want to post this look but I only have 3 more left and I won't see you for another week so I had to post it.. Morning shoots from now on haha! Although, now it will be sunnier for longer so we should be alright! X

Thank you! I really love the shorts too - I didn't want to wear a monochrome look so added colour using the clutch! X
DeleteAnother gorgeous outfit from you! I want your wardrobe and your long legs haha :p Life as a Petite x
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! Haha, I seriously need to get rid of some of the stuff I have - I have far too much and I'm constantly buying more! A blog sale is definitely in order! X
DeleteDeichmann's is so underrated! I have an awesome pair of brogues from there and everybody always asks where they are from! Adore the H&M cardi - it looks so cosy! Great post! x

Thank you, glad you like my look :) I completely agree and it was such an unexpected buy but I love it! X
DeleteGotta like a pop of colour! I like neons and bright colours for sure! I usually accent with bracelets/jewellery, nail polish, or a bag even :)
ReplyDeleteReally like your clutch & printed shorts too!

I haven't really ventured into neons, I don't think I'm confident enough for that quite yet haha. I love adding jewellery too, although mine are standard gold or silver pieces. I love adding colourful bags for sure! X
DeleteLove your outfit, i always have the same problem with shorts. Yours look great & i love your bag!
ReplyDeleteLove Emma xx

It's always such a pain! I struggle to find tailored shorts that fit me nicely (I usually go for stretchy ones so I can tighten them as much as I need) but these fir beautifully! X
DeleteUm, thanks? Lol
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these shorts! They are so cute. Love the cardigan as well, textured cardigans are amazing xx
