Stan Smiths & Denim Skirts

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Clearly a classic combo is trainers and a denim skirt. Lets start with the skirt, I find it really hard to find denim skirts to fit me, as I have a slightly larger bottom (a big booty is a good thing) but it does mean that I struggle with the classic fit of a denim skirt. This one has more of an aline style and its perfect for us ladies with more junk in out trunk (lol).

Then of course to the classic off the shoulder blouse and this one from Shein has been such a staple in my wardrobe. I saw one of my fav bloggers wearing a similar combo of a black denim skirt, white off the shoulder shirt & white trainers and knew I had to try it. Also the addition of the Gucci belt, which pretty much looks great with every outfit.

To the bright white beaut’s on my feet, the Stan Smiths, there are the platform version and they are so freaking cool. I am a girl who loves to wear a heel, so I often shy away from wearing trainers as they are so flat and often so unflattering on the legs. However due to the platform on this version, they really don’t feel like that, plus I bought them in the recent summer sales for a reduced price…billy bonus.

The Floral Backless Dress

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Let me introduce the floral backless maxi dress you’ve been needing for all of your wedding invitations this year! Which actually (I think) is one of the hardest events to dress for! You need to be appropriate, but you don’t want something completely boring, so here we are ladies, thus is the one <3.

I think what I love the most about this dress is how flattering it is (oh and that its only £15.00, that I definitely love that) it nips you in just in the right places. Plus its that good material (you guys know what I’m saying) not that bad material that just clings, this dress gives you a nice warm hug (I have no idea what I’m on about tonight loves, its been a long week, lol).

Oh and look a that back (just look at it) its a work of art, plus I have no idea how (must be the placement of the straps, but it is so supportive that you really don’t miss wearing a bra at all. As you guys probably know, Shein is quite small in sizes (from standard UK sizes) and I have this in a medium, which for a 8/10 is perfect.

Tropical Prints For The Win

I saw this palm printed dress on Shein in the sale (at only £12.00!!) and I flipping love it. I wore it recently shopping with the girls and the weather was lovely, its the perfect dress to sit out in the sunshine with a couple of drinks.

What’s lovely about this dress is there is actually a slip attached inside, so it is not see-through at all, which as a white dress you really do not need! Its also a great length, not too short & not too long, well mainly not too short, I hate having a constantly pull the back of my dress down incase my booty is sticking out, haha!

I bought the boots I am wearing in the Topshop summer sale (has anyone noticed how good the summer sales have been this year? Certainly my bank account is aware of this!) I love how they have the cut-out section at the back and are almost like slingback ankle boots (which if you described these to me without seeing them, I’d be like ewwww no thanks!). I also love the nod towards the western style.

Summer’s Embroidered Denim Jacket

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I love when you finally get into summer & you can pull out your denim jacket collection, now I am a serial seller of clothes & I still do have quite a large selection of denim jackets that I have not sold yet (still time lol). This rose embroidered version is from Shein and being the bargain hunter that I am it is only £24!!

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

The quality is amazing too, the embroidery is so well done. I have this in a size medium and I was actually a little surprised as it is way a more fitted that I expected, I expected it to be more oversized & boyfriend fitting, but actually I like it like this. The majority of the denim jackets that I already have are over-sized, so this is a little different.

I am actually wearing the jacket with one of my fiancees huge white tee’s tied at the front (nothing like realising you have a secondary wardrobe in the shape of your other half!) this beaut zip-up black denim skirt from Topshop and cream fabric mules from H&M (of with were £12.99 in the sale, madness!)

Summer holiday planning with Shein

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

It’s a big Shein haul for you today guys, you know I love this brand and I have been thinking about my up and coming holiday to America for the last few months, so I thought why not start planning for it now!

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

I choose to purchase this button-up tie front dress and I absolutely love it, I love the tie front section, the buttons down the front and the midi length style (because girls, I know you know its either boobs or legs, ain’t nobody got time for both). I have this in a medium and its the most perfect comfy fit. I styled this dress with these lace-up sandals from Topshop, which weirdly twist as you walk…..meh they look good, even if your bare feet are on the actual floor 90% of the time!

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

The next thing I bought in my mini Shein haul is this stripped midi skirt, a really good dupe for a version I saw in Zara a couple of months ago. I will always be drawn to a midi skirt because I think they are just so easy to wear, no riding up, no potential butt cheeks falling out of the bottom! I know I always say how affordable Shein are, but just to remind you guys, this skirt was only £18.98…..

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

For me a classic combination (since I was about 12, is there an age limit on this sort of thing?!) is a midi skirt and a cropped top. This basic top is from New Look (and £3 in the sale!) and I love the 90’s style square neckline, plus a bit of blue on blue is always a winner in my eyes.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

Clearly I have gone for a blue theme here, and this was genuinely a subconscious thing, I obviously like blue a lot! You guys know that I also love embroidery, and this embroidered dress is me in dress form! I am a UK size 8/10 and this is a size medium, it fits perfectly. I love a smock style dress (mainly because I can eat more food than I probably should).

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

This dress is my version of effortless dressing, and I am so excited to see what else I can find on Shein, mainly lots of items to add to my ever growing collection of embroidery & blue 🙂

The Embroidered Dress Setting Me Up For Summer

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

So excited to show you guys this beaut of a dress from Shein, honestly I loved every minute wearing this dress. The quality of the fabric used is exceptional, which is amazing as Shein are such an affordable brand. This dress is only £28 and the embroidery is beautiful, I am in love with the red tassels at the front, and balloon style sleeves.

Processed with VSCO with j1 preset

As I have explained before Shein sizes run quite small, I am a size 8/10, and I have this in a medium and it fits perfectly. It isn’t too short, it isn’t too long, it really is the most perfect dress. I honestly have the biggest wishlist for Shein, so hurry up payday I want to get shopping!!

I am wearing this dress with studded sandals from Topshop, although they have quite a high heel they are so comfortable to walk around in. I actually had a pair very similar to these from Topshop years ago, and I wore them to death, so when they released this pair that were so similar I went to buy them straight away!
