Fruits of July

July has been a less than favourable month for me weather wise, but we did get a few good days so I whipped up some nice little outfits for my sunny moments.

The necklace is H&M (£12) and was a gift from one of my Women Folk, the top is actually borrowed from my sister - but I have it on good authority that it is also H&M - and the skirt is Primark (£16). Topped off with my favourite Primark bling for £2, and the good-old horse belt for £1.50. I wore this out for my friend's birthday as it was dressy enough for a celebration without being too much for a bar crawl in the middle of the afternoon. The skirt is just beautiful on, as it's so light and floaty.

The top is a Topshop steal for £12 in last year's sale I believe, the shorts are New Look (£16), the tights are Primark (£2) and the brogues are also a Primarni classic for £8. And of course the horse belt is making another appearance! I obviously wear it far too much...! This is a great summer outfit if the weather outside is looking far from summery, as the shorts keep in current but the tights keep you dry.

The double denim look has always been a tricky one but I was hoping I'd got the right mixture just keeping it to the top half? Sunglasses are New Look (£5), the denim shirt is from an ex-catalogue store in the Bullring Link called Hypnotic where everything is £7 (bargain!), the denim crop is Topshop (£16), the leggings are Primark (£5) and the boots are New Look are were only £21.99 - which is the best money I've spent on shoes in a long time as these boots will last an age. I wore this camping recently but it would work equally well as festival-wear, as it's comfortable, casual and a bit edgy.

I'm always on the hunt for new trends and can never seem to stick to one style of dress for too long, so stay tuned for more monthly updates.
