Hot Hot Hot

It's been a few weeks since my last blog post (sorry about that) but I have been busy with training for my new job then actually starting it. The training was in London on Oxford street (my bank account is looking very depressing as a result) and I got to stay in a hotel in Covent Garden for 5 days! 

We got told to dress smart as if we were at work but this only lasted a day because of the heat, so for the rest of the training we were allowed to be a little more casual. The pictures below are what I wore each day, however on day 3 I was running a little late so I didn't have time to take any.

Now that I have finished University for the year I have had a lot more time to blog, I also realised I hadn't yet done an outfit post that wasn't in one of the university studios. Unfortunately it is raining outside (typical Britain)  so it had to be done indoors. I got the Floral Peplum Blouse back in January and I find it is the perfect top to go out in. The fabric is chiffon so I put a long purple top under it and teamed it with 'shine' leggings. 

As for the shoes i'm loving the cut out trend at the moment, even though i probably wouldn't wear these when its raining. I put large knit socks with these to mach in with the rest of the purple in the outfit. 

Be Bright

Bright bold colours are a must this season, especially with all the rain we are getting wearing bright colours will make it look that little more cheerful!
I thought I would do something new and add sketches to make it easier to visualize how each outfit will look.

I also find that accessories are a great way to brighten up an outfit, you can put them with a range of different outfits and you don't need to spend loads of money. Accessorize have some  lovely pieces of jewelry in at the moment, below are a few of my favorites!

Once again its festival season! Even though it looks like the most important things to pack will be a raincoat and some wellies, don't forget your tie-dye denims, Aztec accessories and Paisley dresses because printed garm is essential for this summer's festivals!

JEANS!!

Jeans - Topshop (Tall Moto Jamie Jeans) £40

After going out shopping today and buying my first pair of jeans in about 2 years i thought it was only right to dedicate my first official blog post to them!
I normally hate jeans, the biggest thing for me is finding a pair long enough as i need a 36 inch leg. When shopping for jeans i used to go to New Look as their jeans were as close as i would get to a perfect fit, however they no longer seam to sell jeans past a 32 inch leg unless you shop online, and for me jeans are the one thing i find you always have to try on.
I also find that a lot of jeans are either very tight on the leg but too big on the waist or my normal size will be too big but the next size down is too small.
I decided to go to Topshop after someone on my course said how comfy her jeans were (and they did look amazing.) To my surprise these jeans were a perfect fit, they have a stretch to them so they are comfy to move around in and even though they are not supposed to be high waisted they do come up quite high so when you bend down you don't accidently show any of your behind! These jeans do come up big so you may be able to get into the next size down (always a plus!)
I find black jeans are one of those key items that every girl (and boy) should have in their wardrobe as you can pretty much wear them with everything (and it has taken me waaayyyy to long to invest in a pair!)
