Jazzy slacks, part two

H&M slacks
H&M sliders
Topshop necklace
Forever21 sunglasses

I'm throwing this one out there really quickly before I head to bed. Nothing flashy really, I did warn you in my last post I wore the same top but with different slacks. Throw on some sliders, a necklace and some sunglasses and you've got a relatively different outfit I guess.

Disclaimer: I am totally aware that I have become quite the boring dresser. I blame my VM training. 5am alarms and an hour drive to work tend to mean I just throw on the first combination that pops into my head, which at said time in the morning is nothing too extravagant. Maybe I should start planning my outfit the night before...

p.s Normally my silly cat is happy enough to just prowl around in the background of my photos trying to get noticed. Today he took in a step further and got in my bag. I hope he puts a smile on your face!

Jazzy slacks

H&M slacks
Primark shoes

Do any of you buy loads and loads of tops but always seem to forget that you need bottoms to wear with them? I've done that a lot lately, so last week I bought two pairs of slacks and a pair of culottes, something I never thought I'd see myself in. These jazzy bottoms were the first to catch my eye. I'm just so in love with the print, and I've watched something eye catching like this for a while.

I love the yellow and blue combination and I know I seem to wear this top to death (I wore it today with the other pair of slacks I bought) but it's just so versatile. I'm hoping to find something that's a similar material but in white, because you know if you like it get it in all colours!

Slipping and sliding

H&M kimono
Topshop camisole
H&M sliders
Forever21 sunglasses

A sale shift on Sunday led to a few bargain purchases, this kimono being one of them. It's been floating around the store catching my eye for a while and when that little scanner flashed up saying £7 I had to grab it. The length is so nice, I thought it would drown my short frame but it doesn't and I felt like a Superman with my cape whipping behind me as I flew around work.

Something I can't quite believe is the fact that these sliders made it onto my feet without a fight. When they started making an appearing on blogs and websites I was a little apprehensive but I love these H&M ones. I don't think I've seen another style that I like as much as these.

Neon daydreams

H&M dress
H&M bag
Primark shoes
H&M necklace
Primark sunglasses
Primark ring

I was quite alarmed when I pulled this jacket out of the packaging. Oh my goodness it's bright. Apart from the colour I think the next thing I noticed was the waffle texture, you might not be able to see it in the picture but it's so lovely, it just gives the jacket that little extra.

I'm glad I paired it with the white dress, even if I did spend all evening worrying about the pink transferring onto the white. I'm seriously loving brights this summer. I'm definitely not one of those people who only wear black, not that it's a bad thing, I just like a bit of colour in my life.

I've nearly recovered from my chest infection, I've been coughing and spluttering all week at work and it hasn't been pretty but I'm nearly there, thank goodness! There's nothing worse than being faced with an eight hour shift and feeling rubbish. Despite being ill I've had a really positive week, I can't wait to be fully trained and working in a store on my own. Exciting!

Simple dressing

Primark sandels
Forever21 sunglasses

Since I started my visual merchandising training I've become quite a lazy dresser. Being up and down kick stools and ladders all day means dresses and skirts are quite often off the cards. This little chevron number from Missguided is another story though. The length is perfect for work and the print makes it look like I've made more of an effort than I actually have which makes for the perfect dress in my opinion.

I'm currently nursing a sore throat and chest/viral infection which isn't nice at all. I almost called in sick to work for my shift tomorrow but it's been that long since I last had time off sick I don't think I'd know what to say, and I'd be totally wracked with guilt. I'm not looking forward to it one bit though. 

I'm hoping to get my haul video edited and online by the end of the week. The filming wasn't so bad, albeit a little awkward trying to focus the camera on my own, but I've been putting off editing for over a week now.

All white accessories

Missguided trapeze dress
Primark sunglasses

You know when you get something new and plan your whole outfit around that new item, that's what happened with this bag. I picked it up in London last week and oh my goodness it's love. As far as backpacks go I think it's a pretty smart option and it's only £19.99! Perfect for bike rides in the sun.

I kept the whole look quite simple, threw on my oversized dress from Missguided with my jelly shoes, which only ever seem to rub the same part of my foot. Along my second pair of round sunglasses, I think I left the first pair in Wetherspoons, woops! Good job they're only £3, I dare never buy expensive sunglasses with how forgetful I am.

A few from this week

Those of you who follow me on Twitter and Instagram will know I popped to the capital last weekend to see One Direction at the legendary Wembley Stadium. I still can't quite put into words how amazing it was. Being surrounded by so many people who care so much about the same five boys is pretty overwhelming, and seeing them on stage speak about just how grateful they really are for the position they are in makes me so proud of them all, there aren't five boys who deserve it more. 

I didn't get to take many photos because my camera wasn't allowed in and the next day we checked out really early and ended wheeling our cases around central London all day. It was bad, and my poor camera got lumped in my case because it was all quite overwhelming. Here's a few pictures I did get though. The first is in Hyde Park, where we visited for the first time before heading to Wembley, I didn't want to go back and have a ride on the peddle boats. We started the following morning, cases in tow with a visit to The Breakfast Club in Soho, their freshly squeezed apple juice was just like biting into an apple, I kid you not!

After a day up and down Oxford Street we spent our last few hours in London sat under the watch of the eye before heading back to Euston for the horrendous 5 hour journey home - stupid trains! My peonies were in full bloom when I got home so I couldn't resist giving them a photo shoot. I'm back to work tomorrow, and I won't lie I can't wait until Saturday already!
