CREEPING INTO AUTUMN

Crop: Motel Rocks | Dress: Bershka | Bomber: H&M | Bag: H&M | Shoes: Adidas

----------------------------------------------

This H&M bomber - which I picked up in the sale for only £15 a couple of months ago - is a perfect transition piece for the forthcoming colder weather. I'm really not much of a winter dresser, but as this bomber is actually quite thick and warm, it's perfect to create a funky look and also to combat the chill. I also recently dug up these Adidas high-top sneakers from my wardrobe, which are also helping me transition from Summer to Autumn. Trainers and sneakers, generally, allow for a seamless adjustment between the seasons, and while I'm able to ditch all my old sandals and other summery shoes, they're still not the warm winter boot that I'm sure I'll be sporting in the next couple of months!

CHAIN SANDALS

T-shirt: Topshop | Pinafore dress: Bershka | Bag: Gifted | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban | Sandals: ASOS

------------------------------------------

These new ASOS sandals definitely took some time to break into; the chain detailing, which is the main reason I bought them, doesn't really allow for too much stretching, but finally, several blisters later, they're soft and comfy to wear. I love how that minimal detail can add so much to a look, and I also love the straps round the ankles, which gives them much more of a boho feel! I think they look so cool paired with my pinafore dress (genuinely think this dress has made 3 or 4 appearances on my blog already) and I absolutely love the colour combination between the orange, and the acid-washed black/grey.

SLIGHTLY SEVENTIES

------------------------------

It's all about the 70s this season and I'm looooving it! I've always been a huge fan of chilled out and pretty bohemian styles, but it's never come particularly naturally to me. This pinafore dress I featured a couple of posts back (here) is such a great versatile piece - just add a flowy paisley/porcelain print shirt and a tassel bag, and voilà, you have yourself a seventies inspired look!

PINAFORE DRESS TREND

Bershka pinafore dress // Whistles cropped tee // Topshop choker // H&M long cardigan // ALDO sunglasses // Converse trainers // Mango leather jacket

---------------------------------------

This season we're seeing a huge denim revival with a surge of 70's and 90's trends hitting the shops for Spring and Summer! Dungarees have been on trend for ages, but a new take on that trend is the pinafore. Be it denim, tartan, leather or even suede, I love how you can style the pinafore dress in so many different ways for great summery looks. Here I've created a sporty/girly outfit with a Bershka denim pinafore dress, pink cropped tee and blue Converse!

In the two images below, I've ditched the blue for some black high-top Converse and a leather jacket for a slightly grungier and tougher look!
