Polka Dots Never Fade

So the polka dot t-shirt is coming in very useful as it goes with practically any bottoms, the main culprits being the trusty Jonis from Topshop. However, with it being such a beautiful day on Friday I couldn't resist getting these hot pink, relaxed shorts out from River Island; finally starting to brave the world bare-legged again eek. The transition is always hard, never knowing when the perfect (and socially acceptable) time is to kick off the full blown Summer wardrobe, but with all this sunshine I took a risk.

 I bought the shorts in a charity shop last Summer and thought they may be a bit of a one hit wonder bargain, but with the sports luxe trend still sizzling on, and comfort being a key this season I'm happy to whip them back out. My chuffness continues regarding my recent haul, with this Forever21 tee proving to be great addition to my staples. Not only does it coincide with the Pop Art trend buzzing around thanks to Lichtenstein and co., but in my opinion polka dots never fall from fashion; there's always a hint of the quirky print in each seasons collections. So here's hoping this is something I can also pull out time and time again.

Hope you're enjoying the long May weekend, I'm trying to take advantage of these blue skies as much as possible.

Stars and Stripes

This morning I was running on zero hours sleep and a can of monster...oops. So when I rummaged through my wardrobe the key was comfort but still pulled together, I definitely didn't want to look as tired as I felt. Enter an outfit that is just all so wrong; a Children's jumper I had bought for a shoot a while ago, some Topman jeans and my bargain patent courts from the Christmas sales. But it really did do the trick, topped off with my favourite snuggly scarf from RI Men's section.

The Stars and Stripes really packed a punch of colour into a dull and dreary day,making it just about bearable until I got home and sparked out on my sofa. Have you noticed the Americana motif seems to be trickling back in for another season, and after dismissing the trend completely first time round it's good to know I have a trusty knit to embrace it this Summer. I'm a little concerned the novelty may wear off and I'll be left with another wardrobe one-hit wonder, but at least we had this tiresome day together hey?
