Oh Look, I'm back!

 I've managed to actually get some outfit shots and be a proper blogger for once. I always enjoy doing styling posts, but they are quite hard to do by myself, so I've teamed up with my flatmate. As luck would have it, she's a fashion photographer so we're a match made in flatshare heaven!

 This summer I've been loving really simple pieces, and I've been trying to shop less. I found I was buying a lot of trend led pieces which I would wear a handful of times before relegating them to the back of my wardrobe and forgetting they existed. I'd then be stuck in the eternal cycle of a room full of clothes but nothing to wear.
Instead I've been trying to buy a few things that I can rework in a few different ways. This white tie- front top from Warehouse was a good first step. It works just casually thrown on with jeans and a pair of Adidas Superstars (because of course!) but it also works as a nice dressed up look with some gingham trousers, and sandals.

 Now, I know what you're thinking, Gingham is very on trend and so surely those were a trend-led buy, but I actually found these lurking in the depths of forgotten clothes, and I've been giving them a new lease of life. The Sandals are last years Zara and they are Aquazurra lookalikes but for a fraction of the price.

 White tops- very easy to style, but turns out they're impossible to keep clean, lets just say i'm glad white is my preferred wine colour!
                          
I recently bought these fab white Adidas Superstars, but I don't really wear trainers very often, so I had to go back to basics with my wardrobe and have a good look through to see what i could wear them with apart from the obvious t-shirt and jeans combo. I'm quite girly in my style of dressing, and I wear a lot of dresses and skirts, so I was keen to try and style them up in a feminine way. 

Outfit One: Shift Dress
                                 

This navy Zara dress is really easy to wear. Throw it on and add some shoes and you look ready to go. The white peter pan collar adds something to it that means you don't need to add a necklace or any extra accessories. I usually team it with a black ankle boot and wear it slightly dressed up, but I thought the addition of the trainers made it a nice level of casual that didn't look lazy. Dress: Zara

Outfit Two: Dungarees

                                 

I bought these dungarees last summer and have worn them so many times, that they were definitely worth the money. I'm glad I bought a black pair, as they work layered over most of my wardrobe, but this little striped turtleneck top is a really simple look, and perfect for everyday wear. I was worried that the outfit was a little too "street" for me and that I wouldn't be able to pull it off, but I really love how it looks. I tend to match with a really simple necklace and a leather jacket over the top. Dungarees: H&M, Top: Oasis


Outfit Three: Shirtdress


                                

This is quite possibly the most comfortable outfit I have ever worn. The slouchy shirt dress is a great shape, and the tie belt means that it will suit most shapes. This outfit is the perfect combination of girly and casual, and check shirts rarely go out of style so you'll have it for years. Dress: Oasis
