Imagine the scene- It's England. It's June . And it's 35 FREAKING degrees. People are walking round in shorts, tank tops and flip-flops. And Katie cannot find a single summer appropriate top in her wardrobe. Cue a summer shopping trip!
Shorts are one thing I have plenty of, somehow I thought I needed 4 pairs of denim shorts for those 2 days of sunshine we get a year. But tops are another matter altogether. I genuinely haven't been clothes shopping since Easter either which meant I was far too excited. However I think I kept myself in check pretty well and I'm really happy with my purchases, particularly the two skirts from TKMaxx, the black knee length one is just so gorgeous and so 50's. I'm picturing it with a bardot and heels for a summer evening or with the striped top and flats for a more casual daytime look. The striped tee also looks lovely tucked into high waisted denim shorts as does the monochrome bardot which is so perfectly boho. The shoes were a bit of a brave purchase for me considering I'm very much a monochrome kind of gal but my converse are in such a state that I wanted a new pair of casual daytime shoes and thought these would be great for the summer. The only pair left were this size 5 pair so I took it as fate and picked them up with only the slightest of hesitations at the colour palette and pattern. I'm also slightly in love with the Missguided skirt as I love the slight asymmetrical cut at the hem and the monochrome palette means it will match with loads (hopefully). I might actually wear it for my brothers graduation, though I'm not sure what the weather will be like yet.
Anyway I should probably get back to writing my personal statement now...
