Style Post: Spring/Summer

Shirt Zara | Dungarees/Playsuit Topshop | Watch Michael Kors

So, surprise surprise I went shopping today. Again. Don't judge. The sun was shining down in Hull and what better to celebrate this rare occasion than to buy some summer clothes? The shirt I bought back in the Christmas sales oddly enough but I knew it'd be perfect for winter under a jumper or summer with jeans and shorts, I absolutely love it with this outfit. The dungarees*, where do I start? Due to having a fab group of friends all with different clothes tastes and style I was recently reintroduced back to the dungarees although first through the Topshop denim skirt version or the 'Pini'. Cue a lot of fashion envy over this friends look and bam, I'm hooked on the dungarees trend! I decided to opt for a smarter dress up or dress down dungarees as I'm spending 4-6 weeks in Los Angeles this summer so these can be styled with different items depending on which part of the city we're visiting. After trying on a more 'dungareesy' style of paisley print in Topshop a few weeks ago shopping with my mum we decided that the fit just wasn't flattering me at all, so for the time being I gave up. 

Fast forward to today. After dragging my boyfriend round shops for an hour (much to his dismay as there was a good day of football on) we decided to pop into Topshop before we went to do a supermarket shop. Best decision ever. They only had one pair of these left in my size again, this is so often my excuse for spending, that I just had to try them on, I instantly fell in love. Since I've got home I've rooted through my drawers and wardrobes to try them on with other clothes and have found four other outfits I can make with these so far and I think they'll work with summer sandals, flats, vans and possibly even heels for an evening look! I also tried them on with tights which still looked good thus making them versatile as I can wear them all year round. Therefore I can happily say they're worth the £34 (-10% Student Discount in my case) that Topshop are selling them for!

Another addition to my summer wardrobe that's taking shape nicely, whats you favourite summer find so far?

*Whilst Topshop have labelled these as a Playsuit on their website I personally believe they follow more of the dungaree style so I've referred to them as dungarees throughout based on my beliefs, feel free to disagree though!
