BANG FOR MY BUCK

Dress: H&M | Belt: Topshop | Sunglasses: Topshop | Sandals: Zara

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

One of the reasons I love being back home is because I have the opportunity to rummage through all the abandoned items in my wardrobe and give them a new lease of life. I found my old sandals amongst all the rubbish, and remembered how much I used to love these babies. Regardless of them being a trend or not, my love for gladiator sandals is endless, and even though this season, it's all about more boho-vibes lace-up sandals, I love the slightly tougher aesthetic that these ones add to my outfit.

This dress; a newer addition to my wardrobe, is definitely one of the best items I've purchased this summer! Not only do I love the colour, the print, and the super soft feel, but it's also so easy to style and can be dressed down or up depending on the occasion. At a mere £14.99, I've really gotten a lot of bang for my buck with the number of times I've worn it! Happy days :)

STRIPES AND LIME

Crop: Topshop | Shorts: Forever 21 | Sandals: Forever 21 | Sunnies: ALDO | Necklace: Topshop

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

I've been loving these striped Forever 21 shorts recently. Usually I'm a size XS, but because I purchased these in a Small, they're not as high-waisted as I had initially expected them to be. I'm actually so glad that they're not, because I feel that their slouchyness adds a certain cool and effortless vibe to an outfit that is otherwise more put together. I love the contrast between the shorts and the lime crop, and the lace up sandals just finish the whole look off perfectly, for that chilled out aesthetic.

GLADIATORS

T-shirt: Topshop | Shorts: Topshop | Sandals: Forever 21 | Bag: H&M

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

I just love it when you wear two contrasting prints that you hadn't really thought of pairing before, and it just seems to come together so seamlessly. In this case, I think this is not only because the colours complement each other so well, but also because the prints are minimal and pretty equal in their ability to draw in the eye - no one item overpowers the other. I decided to team up this look with my new gladiator sandals; I've been loving them recently! Finally, I topped it all off with my cute fringed bag, to complete that 70's, but not-too-trend-led look.
