Days in the park, sleeveless jackets and ankles on show can only mean one thing, summer is here! This is an outfit I wore last Sunday, its super casual and slightly out of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed wearing it. It was the perfect Sunday outfit, really chilled and comfortable but have to say I was slightly disappointed with the photographs. They made me feel a little self conscious especially about my legs but then I came to think, who cares that my legs look a bit chunkier than normal in these jeans, I felt good and like the way they fit. I think clothes are all about feeling good in them and who cares what other people may think, their opinion is irrelevant if you feel good!
I love the way this t- shirt fits and the sleeves have a slight puff making them more flattering on my arms, the slight sipped hem is also super flattering and sits lovely at the back. I haven't worn a T-shirt like this in years but have loads of ideas what I could wear this with, because of the pink detailing even wearing it with a pair of simple skinny jeans looks slightly more girly than a plain white top.
Denim jackets are my new 'thing' I have two at the moment and would not think twice about buying another, they just go with everything. I have been wearing this one more often recently now the weather is nicer with literally everything, might even be getting to the point that people might think it's the only jacket I own, its just so easy to wear! Expect to see this is many of my summer outfit posts, this is definitely one of my summer staples.
These skinny jeans are actually the first pair of jeans I had bought in years, I got them in the spring in the Yours Clothing Sale and absolutely love them. I hadn't had a pair of jeans fit me this well in years, I have completely over worn them but they still look as good as the first time because they wash so well. I think its always the same when you find something you are comfortable in, I even started buying things to match 'my favourite jeans'. High Five to Yours Clothing for making me feel comfortable in a pair of jeans for the first time in a very long time.
I have noticed that my style recently has been getting a lot more casual, don't get me wrong I still love my skirts and dresses but I have found myself being drawn more to trousers and shorts, I wonder if it's a body confidence thing, because I am happier with my body do I feel better wearing certain things?

Boots - Primark £18.00 (Last Summer)
My first experience with Yours Clothing has been a very pleasant one and I think I have now found a new addition to my favourite online shopping destinations, my bank account is in trouble. The top I am wearing above was just one of my purchases from my first order. I have a couple of other things which you will see soon in a future post.
The first time I wore this top I was unsure what to wear it with as I don't wear trousers a lot so styling tops is uncertain territory to me. I decided because of the shape of the top, that a pair of jeggings would be fitted enough to let the top sit nicely and allow my boots to sit over the top. I have since worn it with my skinny jeans because in all honesty jeggings make me feel less put together, you know what I mean?
This is definitely one of those tops that look better on, because when I first took it out of the packaging I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but as soon as I put it on I loved it. The material has a generous stretch to it so hugs the curves I want it to but because of the shape it skims over the ones I would rather disguise. There was a black waist tie to sit at the back, I didn't like the way the top looked when this was tied, so I cut it off.
These frill sleeves are so flattering! Technically named Angel Sleeves and I now completely understand why, invented in clothes heaven, these are the sleeves I need on every single top I own! The top of my arms is an area I am really conscious of so the fact that these sleeves are not fitted is lovely, it means I can wear short sleeves without feeling the need to re-adjust all day and feel uncomfortable.
Lets just take a minute to appreciate the dip side mesh panels, these are what turn this simple top into something a little more interesting. These are also what I think turns it into a piece that can be worn casual or slightly more dressy if you wanted, very versatile. Sitting just on my hips this cut makes me feel very feminine when they sway from the movement as I walk.
I will definitely be looking at more tops in this style from now on, I love the way they look and make me feel, I wish they had this is white, imagine how that would look with some denim shorts and cute sandles in the summer!
What would you style this top with?
