OOTD: Floral culottes

Outfit:

Blue floral culottes: c/o New Look
White chiffon cami: Topshop
Silver leather lace ups: ASOS

My love for midi skirts seems to have been overtaken by a lot for culottes. I was very kindly given a gift card in my goodie bag from the New Look press day and knew immediately what I was going to spend it on. I'd spotted these culottes a few weeks earlier and desperately needed an excuse to make them mine. Thanks New Look for giving me the perfect excuse!

I wore this casual outfit during a day out in London with my mum for afternoon tea at The Wolesley. More on that later on in the week! The outfit was the perfect combination for the hot weather we were blessed with and the stuffiness of the tube. I'd forgotten the hell that was rush hour on the underground. They certainly helped to save my bacon a few times when I was nearly taken out by a gust of wind. Londoners weren't accidentally treated to a Marilyn moment!

#Closetrefresh

Closet is a brand that I always make sure I make a beeline for if I'm ever browsing on ASOS or Dorothy Perkins - especially the dresses. They always have such a great selection of classy, midi dresses at such affordable price points. I like to shop - a lot - so I can't spend too much money on one thing. Recently they've just been relaunched and I was kindly invited down to the launch party to see what they had on offer. The newly rebranded Closet London unveiled their new story. I'm loving all the pretty blue shades - they just scream a trip to a seaside right? I'm a sucker for a good print. I can just imagine them pair with a pair of nude sandals and a denim jacket thrown on your shoulders. The floral dress is calling my name. Very loudly!

Every 6-8 weeks the brand is going to be unveiling a new story - exciting! All those pretty clothes to look forward too!

Have you ever shopped from Closet London? Which is your favourite dress?

OOTD: Floral Kimono

Outfit:

V&A print floral kimono: Oasis
White asymmetrical chiffon tunic: ASOS (similar)
Black ripped skinny jeans: (Similar)
Silver leather lace ups: ASOS

As soon as I saw the images for the new V&A collection at Oasis I knew I had to own at least one piece. I was umming and ahhing for a while, flitting back and forth between this kimono and these culottes. I thought I would get more wear out of the kimono so opted for this first. I'm frantically selling on eBay now so I can get my hands on the culottes. And possibly the other kimono. Maybe. I got these snazzy shoes and tunic thanks to a cheeky 20% discount code that ASOS had on offer. Those guys are so good to me over there! But it's about time I give my bank account a bit of a break.
