Statement trousers.

Hello everyone! So, I'm really liking statement trousers at the moment; trousers which are a bit 'out of the ordinary' and can be dressed up or down! A high-waist is normally something I look for in trousers as I feel this compliments my figure more than low-rise. So this week, I decided to go on a search for the perfect trousers..

 

I went to Westfield this week with my boyfriend and my friend; I decided this would definitely be the place to look for the perfect pair of trousers. We arrived late in the day and therefore I only had a few hours to shop. Lets just say I looked like a crazy lady with a shopping addiction (probably accurate haha)! I rushed around, visiting as many shops as possible and found myself in River Island. There, on a central rail were these beautiful blue trousers. I decided they definitely fitted the bill and snapped them up!

I LOVE the colour of these trousers and the bold floral pattern. They are just so summery and as it is shown in the pictures, they can be worn with a simply top for a pretty day-time look but also could easily be dressed up for a night out paired with a silky black cami and black courts. When it comes to jewellery that could be worn with these trousers, a soft pink necklace would go perfectly due to this shade appearing in the middle of the flowers on the trousers.

These trousers can be found here: River Island (£32.00)
The top is also from River Island and is a must-have for your ss14 wardrobe in my opinion.
Top can be found here: River Island (£10.00)

Pub-attire.

Hello everyone! As you may have noticed, I love light colours and pastels for day wear! But when it comes to a night out, I tend to go for a more grungy look and wear a lot of black. The other night I went for a few drinks at the pub and thought I’d blog what I wore to illustrate this. I wanted to dress casually as I wasn’t going to any clubs, just having a few drinks, yet wanted to look nice ( I always tend to overdress rather than underdress).

 

I decided my leather-look jeans would fit this smart-casual criteria and teamed these with a black and white shirt. It looks grey in these photos but this is due to its small/tight stripes. I felt a small pop of colour was definitely needed for this outfit and decided a bright red lipstick would do the trick! I don’t usually wear red lipstick, or any lipstick really, as I prefer a nude lip for my pale skin tone. However I actually quite liked this colour for this outfit! I teamed this with my new Primark necklace and my favourite grey studded bag which I picked up a few years ago when I visited Florida on holiday!

These items are quite old so could be difficult to find the exact ones.
