Denim Shorts

Sunglasses: Topshop, £16, Necklace: Miss Selfridge, £7, Crop top: Topshop, £10, Shorts: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Converse

I felt sort of 80's throwback in this outfit, with the denim shorts and converse. I really liked it thought and felt great in it. I used to never, ever wear shorts, but about a year ago I bought my first pair of up cycled Levi's from Urban Outfitters and have never looked back. These were the second pair I bought as the first pair stretched and are far too big for me but I'm starting to think these will end up with the same fate. They fit me perfectly after a wash, but once I've worn them for a day they're really lose around my waist. It's such a shame as I'm completely besotted with them and hardly wear anything else!

The crop top is another summer purchase. Super cheap from Topshop and will go with everything. The fabric is a bit thicker than I anticipated (that's what you get for online shopping) but it hangs really well and I love it. I need to get a new pair of Converse, these have been to hell and back (they probably won't last another trip to my Student Union) so I'll probably buy another pair before I go back to university in September. 

Summer holiday accessories

I'm off on holiday to France for 3 weeks pretty soon, and due to the unrelenting boredom of my university summer break I've bought almost everything I'm going to need.

I'm really into brown leather handbags and I'd been searching high and low to replace my battered and bruised Urban Outfitters one yet to no avail. However, whilst having a clear out of my wardrobe I found this perfect, soft leather bag. It's a brilliant size too. Once belonging to my grandmother I have no idea where it's from or even how old it is - lets just call it vintage!

I find summer shoes so difficult to buy, my feet are pretty much a half size so everything is either too big or too small. Rocking boots in the winter works out fine if they're slightly too big, but summer shoes have a tendency to fall off my heels. I found these pretty black Topshop sandals, again hidden in my wardrobe. I wore them to my Year 13 ball and never since. 

Sandals: Topshop

I'm not normally one to wear (even the tiniest of) heels during the day but they're so comfortable and go with pretty much everything. 

Sunglasses: Topshop, £16

I'm usually an aviator girl, but these were just too adorable. The diamante! The circle shape! They're so over the top for my style that I had to have them. I'm trying to wriggle out of my comfort zone and these disco ball sunglasses were the perfect place to start.
