Summer in September

Jacket: Dorothy Perkins, Top: Urban Outftters, Shorts: Miss Selfridge, Tights: River Island, Shoes: Converse

I've not done an outfit post in a while - sorry! I've taken about a million photos but the lighting in my bedroom is so bad it's almost impossible to get a nice one. My university term started today, although I don't have any seminars until tomorrow. It's pretty exciting to have everyone back, but it's very bitter sweet as everyone is super aware it's our last year. 

I'm making the most of the it though. This week is Fresher's Week so I've been heading to the Student Union a lot which is my favourite place ever. I'll try and do some 'night out' outfit posts soon!

It was pretty muggy today, hence the crop top. The thick tights and leather jacket was a mistake. I popped onto campus really quickly and it was super busy with all the new freshers. I'm helping out Societies Fair tomorrow on the student newspaper stall which is something I'm really looking forward too. I'm excited to represent something I'm really proud to be a part of. 

Wishlist

Left: Top: Topshop, Skirt: Miss Selfridge, Dress: Topshop, Skirt: New Look, Necklace: Miss Selfridge

I saw the dress (centre) when I was shopping in Bristol, but they only had it in petite, sadly. I'm not sure if its trying too hard to be pretty, but I think it's really cute. It's a bit more dressy than my usual outfits, I couldn't exactly wear converse with it! But it would be nice to own something a bit more smart for going out in. Usually I sport shorts and converse on nights out, I'm going to try and class it up a bit more come September, maybe even bring out my long forgotten heels.

I like shiny things; hence the embellished crop top and skirt. I'm always hankering after sequin skirts, this one is gorgeous. I really want a plain black crop top, but I like this more dressy alternative. I really don't need another tartan skirt, but its basically autumn now and tartan is a staple! This necklace is just so adorable, very different from my usual jewelry (either very long necklaces, or nothing) and it would add a touch of spring loveliness come winter. 

Short Shorts

Camisole: Zara, £13. Shorts: Miss Selfridge, £22. Shoes: Topshop

I had to run a few errands today and as the temperature is hovering around the high 20's where I am I thought it was the perfect excuse to try one of my summer holiday looks. I saw the shorts months ago out shopping with friends, but they didn't have my size. I'm never really one for online shopping but I couldn't forget about them so I bit the bullet and they're perfect so I'm really pleased. I bought the adorable little camisole in the Zara sale yesterday, £25 reduced to £13, its a little too big but for the summer months loose fitting clothes are ideal. The peplum feature is usually something I completely avoid, but as it's very subtle I didn't really mind.

Excuse the terrible photo, it's the first time I've attempted taking full-body shots of myself. Turns out it's a lot harder than I anticipated. Hopefully with a little more practice they'll turn out better...!
