It's getting to the end of the summer holidays and despite the fact that I'm really not looking forward to going back to school (something that everyone who asks seems to be oddly surprised about) at least I'll be doing something productive with my day. I love the saying 'time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time' because it's true, however the last few days I do just feel like I'm wasting time.
Yesterday, I was grateful for my mum taking me for a hot chocolate (cream and marshmallows and all). Beforehand we stopped at a little shop in search for a larder cupboard however to my delight, the eccentric furniture shop had changed into a gem that sells bits and bobs, fashion and accessories. Every corner of the shop still held it's quirky quality and was impeccably decorated with a hippie atmosphere.
I love this knitted sweater, it reminds me of a jumper my uncle used to wear and honestly, I've desired one since seeing Kylie Jenner sporting a similar style in Jamaican colours walking through Los Angeles airport a couple of months ago. In fact, now I'm writing this I'm asking myself why I didn't buy it there and then.
Further down the rail were these lovely cotton shirts. An alternative to button down flannel shirts, these grunge look patterned, v-neck shirts have a bohemian as well as almost farmer look. I loved the grey stripes and these once again reminded me of Kylie Jenner. I would pair with biker boots and black skinnies or simple denim shorts in the summer.
These dungarees were my favourites! Patchwork with this many patterns should be absolutely awful however this in my opinion is a wonderful combination! It's so unique, if a little peculiar but it has definitely inspired me to be bolder with my pattern and colour choices. Admittedly, I have been wearing head to toe black recently (nevertheless, black is the new black). These also remind me of Rita Ora's 'bonkers Western' cow print dungarees that she recently rocked at V-Festival.
All in all, it was a successful little browse. You never know where you'll find some inspiration (+ a new outfit!)
