So I'm REALLY trying to kerb my spending lately... no really I am! We're off on
holiday to California later in the year and so the planning, booking, saving
has started. At the same time that's really hard because all I want to do is
buy outfits to wear while I'm there! So this month I think I've actually been
really/pretty good. Here are my picks this month, weirdly there's definitely an
orange theme going on, but then again, 'Orange is the happiest colour!'
First
up is this gorgeous slip dress from Topshop, you can buy it here. I fell in
love with this online and picked it up in my local Topshop so I could pick one
with a particularly nice layout of the print. One negative for me was how long
it was! I'm 5'9" so pretty tall but this was just a really unwearable
length (for me), It would have been nice at that length with heels but I wanted
to be able to wear it with sandals so after washing it which shrunk it a tiny
bit anyway I only had to take off a few inches (check your local dry cleaners
for seamstresses who will be able to do things like this professionally). Now I
LOVE it! I'm wearing it here with my new River Island sandals and 'Play purse' beaded clutch. (Does anyone remember having these as small purses when you were
little? they were so fun I couldn't resist getting one!)
Another
absolutely favourite purchase this month is this incredible paisley print
blouse from Warehouse, available here. I'm really into shirts and shorts at the
moment so this outfit is on the California list. I'm wearing it with another
orange purchase, my river island fringed duffle bag, you can buy that here. And
the same river island sandals because I never want to take them off. You can
buy them here (and I'd recommend you do).
In
Topshop I also picked up this rust playsuit (buy it here), its jersey so it's
SO comfortable and the top layer has really cute detailing, it looks a little
dark in this photo but the colour is really easy to wear with
either black or tan. Add sandals and a straw hat and your done! If it's not for
you then it's also available in black here, you can't go wrong with a little black playsuit. The shoes I'm wearing are from asos
(here) and the bag is from Thailand but there is lots like this on eBay
(Accessorize eat your heart out).
