REVAMPING YOUR STYLE

What wonderful weather this weekend has brought us! Although I must say, I'm struggling in the ol' clothing department. It seems that my bulging drawer of jeans and jumpers just ain't cutting it for 26 degree heat (an absolute 'scorcher' in the UK).

This outfit was from around a week ago, in equally scorching weather, but that of a far more bearable temperature than today. I styled this simple Topshop stripe shirt that I'd fallen a little out love with if truth be told, and gave it an instant update by simply opening it up. Voila! A totally new look is born without spending a penny. It truly is amazing what a little bit of creativity can do to your wardrobe! I'm super keen to re-vamp more of my pieces for a trend-led look this Summer. 

My absolute go-to, failsafe, number one key to revamping and recycling looks is the accessories: shoes, bags, earrings, nails - you name it. For example, imagine this look with some plain black loafers and no other accessories, pretty blooming boring right? But pick and plan your look right and it will burst alive. These earrings compliment the look by adding a lil sumin-sumin to an area that looked a little sparse, while the bag adds an interesting texture and detail to a simple blouse. And the final touch, of course, is the shoes. Pink, loud and proud - these are my dream shoes! From Primark too, would you believe? The jewel-tones are simply to die for, and I feel they add a much more relaxed, casual vibe to an otherwise quite formal look.
