Denim on Denim - Topshop on Topshop

~ Is Double Denim ever OK ? ~

Brace yourself for a whole lotta denim and and a whole lotta topshop ...

As soon as we hear those alliterated words "Double Denim" we instantly think MAJOR 80'S FASHION FAUX PAS right? Yes i have to admit the idea can seem a little cringe worthy but sometimes a little double denim is okay...

The biggest Double denim mistake people make is wearing two items of  denim that are the exact same colour and the exact same texture...NO!  If you are going to tackle this denim trend then the best way is to mix a light wash with dark wash or stone wash denim like the one i'm sporting above. A full on Jean suit is never a good look (just take a look at Britney spears and Justin Timberlake in 2001).

I love the speckled stone wash on these jeans, Topshop is always my favourite place to shop for a comfy pair of jeans, especially the 'LEIGH' range - if you own a pair you will totally understand!

Jeans - Topshop

A denim Jacket is a staple item in pretty much every girl's wardrobe, to me light wash denim just screams SUMMER! 

Denim Jacket - Topshop  (loaned from a friend) 

Floral Blouse - Topshop

- So the answer is YES! Sometimes double denim is ok - 

Okay so if you're not ready or willing to tackle the 'DD' look a nice chunky knit cardigan is always a good option to just throw on for those 'not quite summer yet' days! I love this cardigan its my go to thing its super warm, super soft and was super cheap - a total primark bargin!

Cardigan - Primark

I finished off this outfit with my favourite pear of healed Chelsea boots - a bit of height enhancement is always good when you're as short as me!

Boots - Amazon

Spring/Summer looks

~  GRAB A CUP OF TEA THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG POST ~

SPRING SEASON IS HERE. 

Okay so this is more summery than spring but i'm a little too excited for summer! 

You may have noticed the flower crown on my head, i absolutely love this Lana Del Rey inspired summer accessory. Now i'm all for the 'Crown and Glory' brand, but just wasn't willing to splash out the cash in my (empty) purse for a flower crown that i wasn't going to wear everyday. So i used my D.I.Y skills to make my own and i may do another post on how to make one. But i love them, although i don't recommend wearing them on a casual shopping trip - personally i think this is strictly festival summer head-wear!  

This flapper style tasseled top is my absolute fave at the moment! And paired with this lacey white skater style skirt it kinda looks like a little dress! Since its spring i can finally bring out my teal loafers , they add that little pop off colour to the outfit!

Top - H&M

Skirt - H&M

Shoes - Primark

White lacey details everywhere - if you know me you know this is PERFECTION."I totally have 10 birds flying round my neck"

   Necklace - Primark (BARGAIN)

And because its not yet summer a kimono or big shirt will be perfect to just throw on top for when it gets a little more chilly! 

~ And here comes look number 2 ~ 

"SHE WORE THAT TOP TWICE"

 - If Kate Middleton can get away with style recycling then we all can! 

You can create a completely different look using the same item! I love this blue high low skirt, i purchased it so long ago in Christmas sale for like £8 or some outrageously lucky price like that. 

Skirt - Topshop 

Hat - Miss selfridge

I think prefer this look simply because the tassle details are more noticible because the white stands out against that iridescent blue! 

Chucked on my trusty pair of karen walker style  sunnies - summer dreaming! 

I think a knotted belt always adds a little touch of 'Boho' 

Who doesn't love a bowler hat?! - since the season is changing i decided to whack out my straw bowler hat - this has way more of a summer vibe than my normal black hat. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, reading and looking - let me know what you think of both looks and which look you prefer? I LOVE reading all of your comments!
