Hi girls,
I’m back! (Again)
It’s been a rather hectic few weeks moving back down to London after being in lockdown, then moving house the last couple of weeks as well.
Last weekend was probably one of the hardest in my entire life (not being dramatic). Between 3 of us (managed to rope a friend in to help, poor guy) we lugged bookcases, a 6ft mirror, sofa, chairs, tables and all our possessions into lorry, out of lorry, into lift, out of lift and into our new flat. No joke, my body has been aching all week and I think my back is ruined for life!
But we are now fully in our new flat in SE London and loving it (sorry for the many many photos of the view from our new balcony on my Insta stories!)
Anyway,
now that my wardrobe is finally all away, back together and reunited with one another, I thought I’d do a my wardrobe weekend post dedicated to shirt outfits.
As you know from my Instagram, I have LIVED in long floaty puff sleeve dresses so far this Summer (thank you H&M) but aside from those, the other thing I am loving at the moment is shirts.
I have previously been mostly a t-shirt kinda girl I am definitely developing a love for shirts. They seem to be making a bit of comeback/becoming a key trend for AW20. Spotted on the high-street already over the last couple of months, H&M, Zara and Mango have brought out white crisp shirts with oversized collars. Bloggers are going crazy for them and new emerging brands have blossomed like La Veste, a small Spanish designer brand, selling out of their beautiful gingham shirts with frill collars (I am obsessed) – definitely check them out online at https://lavestelaveste.com/
I bought a couple in the sale last month from United Colours of Benetton which I’ve already posted about, but I’m also rediscovering ones in my wardrobe that I’ve not worn in a while.
So I’ve done a bit of trying on session and thought I’d show you my ways in which to wear shirts right now…
Rediscovering these white cigarette trousers as well from Massimo Dutti. Hardly ever worn these but I am definitely digging this look on a cooler Summers day.
Colour clashing in red and pink of course.
A real crisp white shirt with gorgeous red embroidery.
Thrown on with some old vintage baggy boyfriend jeans that I bought many moons ago.
Such an effortless look.
I just love the colours on this one.
Clashed with lilac jeans or classic denim.
I’d totally leave the house in this for sure.
Again, beautiful embroidery, love the colours and just so easy to wear different ways, picking out different colours.
Definitely feeling this cowboy inspired look.
Love it with this skirt and my sequin converses when going into Autumn.
A bit premature but I can really feel these working into Autumn and with a jumper on too and the collar out on top so watch this space.
Side note, I went into Central London yesterday and popped into a couple of shops (didn’t buy anything as I am on a shopping ban) but took a couple of pictures of some of the new season product coming through as well as a couple of favourite sale bits…
With a pair of cowboy boots come Autumn, I love this look.
I didn’t buy as I don’t need another pair of lilac jeans (think my boyfriend would have killed me) but if you are in the market girls…
I need someone to buy them as they are just so fab!
Lots of love girls xxxx
