I thought we’d begin with a summer haul.
Even though much of my summer wardrobe is simply revived pieces from the year(s) previous, I do still feel the need to update and introduce some new clothing and accessories into the regular mix of items. And let’s be honest, there’s always room for a bit more when a shopping urge takes over!
I have made the following purchases across the last month or two, and a couple of the items you have already seen in recent posts on here and/or Instagram. But I thought you would still be interested in seeing a collective summer haul of everything I have recently purchased.
Summer haul
ASOS
Girls on Film blouse in tropical print with lace trim – I wore this to the recent Bloggers Hangout Summer event because it seemed to fit the ‘summer garden chic’ outfit brief. It rests about hip height which is a tad too short for me because I don’t like exposing my midriff, so I wear a long vest top underneath which adds that additional cover I need. This tropical lace blouse is a total summertime hit.
Only Aztec print shirt – I love pattern, particularly in the workplace as it’s an easy way to add a level of interest to an otherwise fairly plain look. This shirt caught my eye as a piece that will do well throughout the year.
I have a category dedicated to dressing for work if you want to see more content around work wear, which you can access under ‘fashion’ on the main navigation bar above. I’ll style this piece up for you soon!
ASOS Swing cardigan with suede look star elbow patches – I seem to never have enough cardigans, (or jumpers for that matter) but I seem to really struggle in spending a lot for them. When I saw this one in the sale, it was exactly the style I like and I love the star patches on the elbows; I have no doubt this will be worn for years to come.
ASOS Seersucker button through beach dress – You’ll remember I wore this dress to the British Grand Prix recently and aside from being an incredibly light, maybe-not-British-weather-practical fabric (hence it being a ‘beach dress’), I love it! It can be worn on its own, over the top of leggings, with cardigans, jumpers…
New Look
Cream cotton dungaree pinafore dress – This was a bit of a scary purchase and I half expected that I would end up taking it back because I doubted if the look would be a bit young for me, or whether I could simply pull it off.
As it happened it’s turned into a really fun piece, particularly because I don’t buy into a lot of the core fashion trends. Dungarees definitely don’t suit everybody and this is why I’ve gone for a dungarees dress instead of shorts or trousers. I have no doubt I’ll continue to wear them throughout the coming months.
White animal print bomber jacket – For the same reason I purchased my other patterned bomber jacket earlier in the year, is the same reason why I purchased this one… and also to reiterate my point about how much I love animal print!
Mango
Animal print long sleeved blouse – Need I explain why I purchased this blouse? I don’t think so!
Necklace – My jewellery collection needs a huge update, particularly for statement pieces so adding this piece to my haul was easy; I love the pop of yellow with the gold.
Zebra print leather bag – Because Zebra! Check out my latest what’s in my bag post so you can see it in more detail.
