Bohemian White

Bohemian White 

I wanted to share with you the outfit that I wore yesterday for a family barbecue. I have found that while in the winter with all the layers my style turns more preppy with lots of collars and cable kints, in the summer my style gets a bit more bohemian, lots of floaty white tops and pretty accessories. It's weird really as they are two very different styles but I love them both. 

The main aspect of this outfit are these beautiful feather earrings which I got ages ago in an Accessorize sale and only wore the for the first time yesterday! They are definitely a summer accessory but I think that they look so beautiful, especially with this feminine style of outfit. I don't know if feather earrings are really in this summer but I think that the subtle jewels and the pale pink shade make these more timeless and wearable that the brighter colour feathers that were around a few years ago. 

I also decided to practice curling my hair yesterday in these pretty beachy waves. To do these I use my Babyliss curling wand and I have found that it works best to take really small strands of hair and twist them around the curling wand and then drop them out after only about a second. This way you get more of a wave than a curl. I also just brush these out with my fingers a bit afterwards but not a hair brush. 

The top that I am wearing is another old sale purchase from Monsoon. It's not a shop that I usually go into as they aren't really aimed at my age range. But I do think that they have some beautiful tops, blouses and jumpers. This is a beautiful white floatly blouse that I sometime use in summer as a beach coverup. It's loose but still a flattering shape with skinny jeans and has a lovely appliqué detail around the buttons at the front. 

Top - Monsoon

Jeans - Uniglo
Earrings - Accessorize

Turtle bracelet - Accessorize

Bracelet - Pandora
Watch - Nixon

Here is a close up so you can see the detailing on the blouse. 

Hope everyone has a good Monday. I have work this afternoon plus several episodes of The Vampire Diaries that I need to catch up on! Speak soon xx
