A CASUAL PASTEL PINK DAY

Ah! So the weather has noticeably changed since my last post, yay! Of course, that meant I was a lot more eager to get outside and shoot some pictures.
I was recently paid, and bit by bit, i've been spending my wages. I'm waiting on a couple of orders, but today I went into town with my boyfriend to change our money up for our holiday on Sunday, which meant I did a little shopping! One of the pieces I picked up, was this gorgeous little pink gingham shirt from H&M. I'm sure i've seen a couple of bloggers in it now via Instagram, but it looks a lot nicer in person! You can button it up to the top, but I think it looks cuter with a few buttons un-done for a more casual look.
I'm wearing a pair of the 'vintage blue' Joni jeans, but I won't talk about those too much because really, who doesn't own a pair?! I've also featured these pastel pink jellies before, but they are so, SO soft! I own three pairs of JuJu jellies, and these are by far the softest pair, and yes, that's a good thing as you don't want them to rub your feet! I've featured this bag possibly a few months ago, but it's still one of my favourites. It's just a slouchy PU leather pastel pink backpack from Primark, super bargain!
You could dress this up a little more with a statement necklace and some rings, but I didn't actually own anything I had in mind! I think it would look perfect with a statement light pink jewel necklace.
This will be one of my last few outfit posts as I go away on Sunday for two weeks and I have a lot to do! But I have a wish-list i'd like to get up before then, and hopefully another outfit post, but time will tell! Has anyone got any nice holidays planned?

THE LILAC-Y BLUES

Original blog post name, right? I'm sorry, my creative side has shied away so it appears! Anyway, notice something different? Yep, I have ombré hair! (For the millionth time). I always seem to want to revert back to my lighter ends during the warmer months and have done for the past three years!
So, the outfit! A month or so ago, I placed a rather hefty order on Missguided which included two of their pretty pastel bralets. I'm actually surprised one of them has only just featured on my blog considering how much I love them! I love this style of top, however I feel it suits those with less of a chest as I look like a 'porn star', (choice of words, courtesy of my mother). Also, I really should have sized up as the 'cups' just aren't covering my chest enough, as you can tell. Nonetheless, I love this top and I want more, especially the neon palm print one!
This skirt is another past order of mine that hasn't seen blogging daylight yet! I ordered three colours in this little number as the price was just irresistible.. for a weak gal anyway. It's a lovely, thick scuba material, which is my favourite to wear at the moment. The skirt is from my beloved Boohoo, and they stock 5 or 6 colours I believe!
My earrings compliment the skirt so nicely. I bought these when ASOS had their 20% offer on and I completely forgot I had this gorgeous skirt to pair it with! To date, they're possibly my favourite statement earrings I own as they feel so expensive, (and look it too!).
My coat is of course my Missguided favourite, and my shoes are the shoes that never leave my feet at the moment! A perfect pair of white Birkenstock dupes from Topshop. They're literally the most comfy shoes I have ever worn, and go with practically anything. And finally, my hat! My hat is my faaaaavourite piece in this whole outfit. Since wearing my black fedora to death, I decided on picking up a floppy hat in a summery colour, and what better colour than lilac, ey? And for £15, it would be rude not to!
