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!

MONOCHROME WITH A TOUCH OF PASTEL

I never normally take any form of pictures on the same day I have work as I generally need to invest all my energy in getting through the day, but today I seemed to be full of life, so I decided to get outside in the lovely weather. 
A few weeks back I purchased the two-piece version of this cover-up which i'd been pining after for the longest time, but when I actually received it, the fit wasn't quite right on me and the top was huge. I decided on swapping it for the dress version which I figured i'd get a lot more wear out of, and I haven't looked back! It is rather see-through, so for 'non-beach' wear, I've put a plain white cami underneath to spare people the image. 
Of course, there has to be a touch of pastel in my outfit. I almost, ALMOST put this with some black shoes but how was I to resist debuting my pastel pink, princess jellies?! I bought these while I was in London over the Easter weekend and they are the softest pair of Juju's that I own. Lilac and mint green, you're next to add to the collection!!
I felt this look would be a little too basic without this black felt fedora hat. I've got three of these now, and this is the only one that has made it to the outside world! The cut/style is perfect for me, and I pretty much wear it all the time. I have my eye on a camel/beige coloured one at the moment, i'm just deciding when to make my move. 
The final pieces are my super huge black backpack and my (far too frequently featured) Primark sunglasses!  I own this bag in emerald green aswell, which is a perfect excuse for me to buy some clothes to match!
