If the bubble...bursts

Shirt: Primark   Trousers: Topshop   Brogues: Primark   Ring: Primark   Clutch: Primark

I really like this large spot shirt, the size of the print makes it a bit different than the normal spotted shirt. Other version, here, at Mink Pink or in a t-shirt style, here, at Miss Selfridge or white dress, here, in the Boutique by Jaeger sale. Have toned it down and made it a slightly office style with black trousers and the brogues but could see it going nicely with some bright trousers, like these posted, here, before.

This envelope clutch is also another love, and fits a surprising amount in, but ALWAYS gets me when I open it as I want to open it the other way than it is in the picture and end up with contents all across the floor! Check out asos.com and their bag section, here, for some great envelope clutches in a variety of colours - loving all the pastel shades and metal detailing on some of them.

Oh no...I broke

Feel little bit ashamed that I broke in my challenge not to buy new things but when I saw someone with this shirt on I had to find out where it was from and it started a bit of a spree that saw me getting the bag and scarf too with the view of wearing them all together. Damn the loose fit, sheer fabric and racer type back was just too darn tempting!!! 

The bag is similar to the Celine style shoppers, here, or Zara have other versions, here, or check out the other colours available from H&M, here. I thought the scarf looked really good tied round the bag with its contrasting colours and then when I got home to find the spring 2012 catalogue there was an image in there with the exact same colours/items (picture on twitter). I am going to try again through March not to spend anything on clothes and it has taught me that there are probably already things similar to new items I like in my wardrobe already when I actually bother to go through it, might have to get the sister to hold onto the bank card though, just incase!

The great...outdoors

Jumper: New Look   Jeans: Primark   Plimsols: Primark   Sunglasses: H&M   Bag: H! by Henry Holland

Just took a few shots the other day and wanted to add them, not so much for the outfit but due to how bright and colourful the day seemed. I know it's very cheesy but everything was just so clear and had that sort of spring time feeling where everything is coming into colour. We were heading out for lunch and decided to have a look around the local rock gardens beforehand, a place I must go back to for some more photos as you could get some lovely shots.

We only took a couple of pictures as we were walking through but what you can't see behind the camera in the first photo is the boyfriend and brother-in-law doing their own model style poses, which looked more like them doing some kind of bizarre yoga-esque work out! Was trying to keep away from adding black to the outfit today and I would like to wear these jeans with more pastel shades like the shirt worn on the 16/2, here, and try out some more formal pastel tailoring.   

Bright...lights

 

Jumper: H&M   Trousers: H&M   Shoes: H&M   Bag: Primark   Watch: River Island   Bracelets: H&M

I WILL wear bolder clothes, and what's bolder than some neon trousers?! I bought these patent shoes back last year when they first came out from H&M and although I could probably put many things with them these trousers seemed to go perfectly. In summer would put with a loose fitted t-shirt like this one, here, or dressed up for the night with some metallic heels.

Speaking of bright items would also quite like this frosted bag, here, (and all the things on the 'why not try' section too!!!) the two tone belt, here, and the scarf, here, from H&M. These bright shoes, here, or if just want a bit of detail maybe this t-shirt, here, from Miss Selfridge. Basically a lot of things, not necessarily to wear altogether...actually maybe to wear all together!!! Hmm....
