Hello everyone! For my second post I thought I could show you my 3 favourite outfits and matching accessories for summer. I recently went shopping to H&M and picked up a bright black and yellow, floral sunflower skirt for around £7. I thought it would be great for me to wear as I always seem to wear monochrome colours (blacks and whites) and this skirt is nice and bright for summer.
I also thought the pleats in it were really cute and they seem to be very popular at the moment in spring/summer fashion. I also picked up a black, heavy vest whilst in H&M to 'calm down' the brightness of the skirt and match the black of the sunflower pattern. This skirt can also be worn with retro sunglasses (I got mine in Brighton lanes) and if its a bit colder maybe black or skin-coloured tights.
For my second Spring/Summer outfit, staying with the H&M theme, I picked up a white version of the heavy vest in the first picture which was around £6. I also picked up a bronze-coloured triangular necklace on a silver chain for around £6. I just felt it was really cute and really complimented the rest of the outfit. Moving onto Topshop, I picked up a pair of denim, MOTO high-waisted shorts in light blue. I just thought they were really essential for the hot weather as they go with anything and they are really comfortable. You could wear them bare legged or with tights and a pair of trainers or summery sandals.
Again, from Topshop I picked up these cute little rings which have blue, purple and white stones inside a silver outside which look like pretty crystals. I just got them because I don't have many rings and I think the colours would look really nice with a simple outfit (like the last one I wrote about) to brighten it up and make it a bit more unique-looking.
For my last top Spring/Summer outfit, I bought this really sweet pleated tartan skirt from one of my faveourite shops in Brighton lanes called "beyond Retro". Its a little darker then my first two outfits and you could argue it looks a little 'Christmasy' for Summer, but I think it could be really ideal for a colder Summer's day with black tights and maybe a black cardigan to cover your shoulders. In this picture, you can see I would wear it with the black vest again and another pair of retro glasses which I picked up in the lanes. I just really like this unique outfit as its different and really practical for any time of year as it could also be worn in winter with woolly tights and cute little boots.
Now for accessories! Starting with shoes, I brought a pair of all-white converse for the hot weather. Bright white and pastel colours are really in fashion this Summer and I just think a good quality pair of trainers are really ideal to wear with any outfit (like the second outfit I mentioned). Also, living in Brighton means that trainers are useful for the beach as it makes it easier to walk across the beach (its covered in pebbles) without being in pain. As always, converse are always really comfortable to wear so you can't go wrong. My next pair of shoes are black, plastic jelly shoes from ALDO. I mentioned these on the side bar of my home page but like I said, they are affordable, comfortable and practical for hot weather. I also said you can wear them with thrilly Topshop socks and bare legs or a pair of tights under shorts, or both!
Lastly, like I said before, pastel colours are really in fashion so I brought a lilac-coloured Essie nail polish which is really cute and a tiny friendship bracelet from Urban Outfitters which was actually really good priced and it was on sale. I got this because I just thought the tribal-like colours were really pretty for a 'beachy look'.
Thank you much for reading this post, I really hope it gives you inspiration for Spring and Summer outfits. If you have any questions or even tips or outfit ideas you want to share then feel free to leave a comment. Byeee!
