Stripes & Embellishment

— 23 August 2015 —

If you watched my haul video from Friday, you may have noticed this beautiful top making an appearance. A lot of the things I buy are planned- meaning I think of something I want and then go on a hunt for it until I find exactly what I want. This, on the other hand, was a spontaneous purchase from Monsoon, a shop I don’t normally look at. I find their prices can be a little high when you’re on a budget- this top should have been £50- but the sales were calling me and I ended up purchasing this for £15. All of the embellishment is hand-sewn and the whole piece feels super quality. Stripes and embellishment are two things which always attract me, but I also love the slouchy fit of this one. In fact, I think it was a few sizes bigger than I would normally wear, but it was the only size left. Oversized is always good in my opinion, though.

To keep the emphasis on the top, I went for very pale white-blue jeans. I sometimes struggle to find what to wear with these jeans (and I always get them dirty after about an hour of wearing them!) but they seemed like an obvious fit with this top. The perfect outfit for summer evenings.
