My Week In Outfits

Last week, I had a four day working week. I took the Monday off for my Birthday and relaxed and enjoyed a longer weekend. My outfit for my day off was pretty boring...just a cream dress and pink pokadot Tom's. For that reason, I have decided to write about my four outfits for four days of the week....starting with Tuesday. Luckily, we have been enjoying some relatively sunny weather. I think this is the best summer we have had for a few years and it means I can wear more brighter clothing - dresses, skirts, coloured jeans, tshirts and not have to worry about bringing a jacket!

All of the other bloggers can relate, it's not easy to take a picture of your outfits everyday with anything other than you phone! I tried to set up my camera on a tripod and set the timer, but right now the photos are appearing blurry. I need to get that right first and maybe one day, I won't have to wait for one of my kind friends to take a photo for me! Until then, I had to make do with photos from my phone! I have the Nexus 4 and the camera quality is pretty good. It is the same quality as the new Samsung galaxy. I use the camera on this a lot more than my previous phone and I am really impressed with it.

Day 1

Turquoise paisley print dress from H&M. I bought this dress a year ago, however, H&M repeat this style every summer so you can buy this dress in plain yellow or a nice khaki colour. This dress is so light and perfect for warmer weather. I wore this with a gold and mint green necklace from Forever 21. If you haven't checked out Forever 21 accessories...I urge you to visit a shop near you soon. The accessories are such good value and with such a huge range, you are sure to find something you love. 

Day 2

I bought this dress in the "Concession" section in Topshop, so it's not the Topshop brand. This dress is really unusual so it stood out to me straight away. I also don't have any other clothes in this colour so it's unlike anything I have. There are little pink and red roses throughout with a beige belt. I don't really like the best so much so will probably swap this for another belt. Generally, the belts on dresses aren't as nice as belts you find separately...does anyone else find that?

Day 3

Today was a little over-cast so I needed a jacket. I decided to wear a white top I recently purchased in River Island, lilac blue jeans from Penny's with a faux leather jacket from Miss Selfridge. The stripey snood is from Topshop (last summer) and I wore navy and white pokadot Tom's. Ever since I bought my first pair of Tom's I want to wear them everyday..they are so comfy!

Day 4

The last outfit is my cream forever 21 skirt, which I seem to wear a lot this summer. I love when you find something that you definitely feel was worth the money. I bought the tshirt on sale in New Look last September. I tied my hair back in this gold leaf hairband from Penny's  which is still available in shops.

Sunny Sunday Outfit Of The Day

Lazy Sundays in the sunshine are completely relaxing and wonderful. I try to make the most out of the longer days by going on walks, picnics in the park, trips to the beach, catching up with friends, eating ice-cream, shopping for summer clothes and enjoying all of the pretty flowers which have finally bloomed.

Most of my summer clothes are a combination of items gathered over the years, that have only been worn once or twice (some haven't been worn before at all). Living in Ireland, we don't have much of an opportunity to wear Summer clothing, so the wise Irish tend to limit the amount of Summer shopping, as you just won't get the value for money. Taking a few holidays a year, for a couple of days at a time, I still don't get the opportunity to wear everything! For that reason, my white jeans are 6 years old and still look brand new, my summer dresses are between 3-5 years old, and each year I add one or two new pieces.

This year, I picked up a beautiful cream skirt from Forever 21. I love the length as it just hits above the knee, however, there is a lace band around the bottom so the lining underneath is shorter, giving the illusion it is longer and shorter at the exact same time. Does that even make sense? Well it does to me and you can make your own judgement from the images.

I also love how I can transform this skirt into an Autumn/Winter outfit by pairing it with black tights, a long sleeve black body top and black pumps. I live in monochrome throughout the Winter so this will be ideal.

My necklace is also from Forever 21, and you have probably noticed most of my jewellery accessories are from there lately. I have noticed dupe's for this necklace throughout Spain and possibly in Primark (Penny's in Ireland) or maybe Forever 21 copied them...who knows!

My pink-red top vest top is from Topshop. I bought the top last year but Topshop have these tops in every single year in a multitude of bright colours. The tops are not unlike other vest tops that you can buy in pretty much every clothes shop at this time of year - Warehouse, Oasis, M&S, River Island, Zara and Penny's (Primark!)

And the final part of my outfit...my feet...I am wearing my wedges from Penny's. They are high but surprisingly comfy. They are most likely still available in store and I would recommend as they go with everything! From skinny jeans to skirts and dresses, these are ideal for this time of year and if you are lucky enough, for holidays!
