THE AMAR & ADA SHORT SUIT

. REISS AMAR & ADA SHORT SUIT .

I can only apologise for my blogging tirade of incredible shorts, I have developed an unmanageable obsession with the garment and seem to be building on my collection with yet more incredible pieces on a weekly basis right now. This Amar & Ada short suit is my latest investment, and by god was it worth it.

I’d been eyeing up this little two piece for absolutely ages, probably a good few months and it’s almost too embarrassing to admit the number of times i’ve been in store to try it on or the number of times I went online to check it was still in stock (verging on twice daily). In fact I made Jase sit in Reiss for 45 minutes a few weeks back while I paraded around debating whether or not to invest in this dream two piece. For a while I debated this Amar & Ada duo with the Latin & Cameron short suit, but after trying them on numerous time, I decided the blue Amar / Ada duo was the one for me, the cut & colour suited me most.

It’s fair to say I become obsessive about things, and this short suit was one such thing that hit the top of my obsession list, only to be exaggerated when I started spotting a few bloggers collaborating with Reiss on their short suit two pieces. Que mega jealousy. This only heightened my need to own the short suit, but at £300 I was extremely nervous (mainly because I’d already bought my Celine & Choo’s which were mega treats).

Last week I admitted defeat and decided I should give in and treat myself to the beautiful set. Fortunately for me, I timed my final decision to perfection, as I went online to order it for myself Reiss popped it in the sale. Taking my dream suit down from £300 to £198 … still a huge investment, but one that I proved was worth it given my extensive talking, researching, lusting over and trying on!

When It arrived at the weekend I couldn’t have been any more chuffed and immediately threw it on. Immediately knowing i’d made the right decision & seriously looking forward to wearing it for a special dinner out on holiday next week. I’ve just checked it out online again now (still obsessed?) and it’s actually been reduced further (woe me) and is now reduced to £170 for the shorts & jacket. Almost 50% off the original price. I shan’t let this bother me though, I was happy enough to nab it in the first place.

The short suit itself is beyond perfect and so styling is all about keeping it simple, a non statement camisole teamed with a simple leather sandal (in my case the Garland sandals), plus of course a little Celine to finish things off.
