Check Mate

Can we just talk about how cute this bag is for a second? It's small, compact and fits all the essentials inside with ease. The metal ring detail looks classy and the colour makes it a classic piece. I was inspired by designer, Chloe, noticing that they started adding in gold hardware in the shape of a ring, whether it's just for detail or it's a handle, it's a look that I'm obsessed with at the minute.

This simple detail transforms this bag from an everyday item to a fashion statement without overwhelming the outfit.

The blazer paired with this light washed denim instead of opting for black gives it a summer refresh to look light and airy. It's a piece you can wear year round; for summer evenings to a beer garden or bar, pair with a light washed pair of denim shorts and silk top and a gold layered necklace and for those more colder days (hoping we won't have any for a while) pair with black jeans and a plain white jumper. The blazer is a statement piece that is best worn with subtle texturing and neutral colours.

Fit to Flare

The last time I wore flares was when Britney Spears was number one in the chart! I remember them well- they were light washed denim with pink butterflies scattered on them. I loved them. 

I'm ditching the denim flares, for now. However, the character Sophia from the Netflix series Girlboss wears them and looks SUPER amazing so, I might have to find a pair of denim flares and relive the 90's. 

For now though - these wide legged trousers are all for comfort! I've gone full volume with these trousers so, I've played it slim by finishing the outfit off with a blazer to add structure to the silhouette. The high-waisted nature of these accentuates my legs making them look longer, and makes the waist appear smaller as they sit higher than jeans would. There a piece that can dramatically transition into an alternative evening look. 

I did find it hard to choose shoes to match these. I think pairing these with heels would give this outfit a chicness but for the park, I stuck to trainers.

Feeling Lighter - How to Dress for Humid Weather

I've forever been a fan of the midi skirt. It's simple, effortless and the perfect transitional piece. They are ideal for that in-between weather we have in England- the humid kind.

I like this one because it's not too tight yet still has that figure hugging feel- this style of midi skirt is better suited for those lazy Sundays. A loosely fitted shirt juxtaposes the tighter fit of the skirt and trainers keeps the outfit casual and cool.

In the hotter months, I tend to opt for little or no jewellery. This small chained bracelet from Tiffany&Co is perfect to add intricate detailing to an otherwise plain outfit. If you wanted to dress up the outfit for a walk in the city, statement earrings would be a chic addition.
