Outfit

The Blues

May 8, 2012

. H&M High Waist-ed Shorts . Old Zara Silk Blouse . Topshop Leather Belt . Marni H&M Heels .
I hope everyone’s first day back to work is going okay, or the studying isn’t wearing you down if you’re in exam period? The title of today’s post works well I feel, my outfit is totally blue and clearly we’re all feeling a  little blue being back to reality after a nice long weekend. Clever eh.

So this outfit is a funny one for me, I bought these shorts a while ago from H&M and I think they were about £20. I’d not worn them since I bought them until this weekend and had planned on them being a summer item. Given the weather clearly didn’t have the same agenda as me, I decided I needed to mix it up and create a winter outfit with them. I bought some new tights this weekend, mine were all horrendously worn and I seem to be living in them right now, I got a 120 denier pair from Topshop for £8 and they are amazing. Super thick and black which is ideal to wear with short shorts in my opinion. I just added this loose silk Zara blouse and my new heels and voila. I actually later in the day added a big jumper and my brogues which also looked cool & made the look a lot more casual.

I’ve been a bit panicked recently about the sheer volume of ‘stuff’ that I own, I am a shopping addict yes, but I’m also a hoarder which is no good at all. Last night when I got back to London I had a TOTAL tidy up of my wardrobe, shelves and drawers and phew I feel so much better. The good news for you guys is I’ve made an executive decision to sell all my items I no longer where, so over the next few weeks I’m going to be adding lots more items to my blog sale page.

What do you think of my new shorts, how do you style your high waist-ed shorts to create a casual day look?

      I love these shorts, a shame they are not current as I definitely would have snapped up a pair! I love them with tights and your heels and I bet they looked great with brogues too. X
