In My Bag

It's a bit of a mixed bag this time. I've stepped out of my comfort zone with a few of the items, cropped top, embellishment and there's some colour, shock horror! 

First up, I'm clearly missing the beach. This light weight mini dress with neon embroidery will be the perfect daytime cover up on my next holiday.
Dress £37 Monsoon
I actually bought this top for a job but liked it so much I got one for myself. The style is shorter than I'd normally choose, but it will motivate me to do more sit ups! I love the coated stripe running down the front and it's off white tone make it perfect for cooler summer days.

Jumper £65 & Other Stories
I seem to have a thing for skirts recently, two have made it into my shopping bag. This skirt came to my attention on Instagram via The Frugality and it was love at first sight. Grey, just below the knee, scuba fabric, embellished and an excellent price point. It's a little more feminine than I normally choose but I'll pair it with some boots or simple sandals and a plain navy sweater or white tee to tone it down.

Skirt £39.99 H&M
Skirt number two is also cut below the knee and in scuba fabric. The dropped peplum detail make this a fantastic dress up or down skirt and I will wear it with strappy heeled sandals for evening or my Miu Miu skate shoes during the day. 

Skirt £55 ASOS
While at the airport on my way to Oslo I decided to save some money in Zara and buy these jewelled flat sandals in duty free. Super comfy and I love the mesh and black embellishment detail.

Sandals £29.99 Zara
