STRIPES.

Top: TKMaxx| Trousers: Primark| Shoes: Topshop

Yay. The white shoes are making an appearance again. I'm very much in love with them, and no one's stepped on them yet which is surprising but I'm not complaining. I see myself wearing these a LOT this summer, but if I plan on keeping them in tact for next summer I don't think I'll be able to. 

So, you know when you're shopping and you don't see anything you like and you're feeling extremely uninspired? Well that was me a couple weeks ago, until I popped into Primark and saw these trousers. I've been wanting a pair of striped monochrome trousers for a while now. I've tried the leggings and they were a massive "no, no" and didn't really suit my figure. But these are definitely a "yes, yes, yes" I wore them with this bright yellow top to give the outfit a summery kind of vibe, even though we're not getting much summer here in London.

This is kind of random, but I thought I'd just share that I've decided to embark on a personal journey. This hasn't been the best year for me so far, and I feel like a lot of it's been pretty much wasted. But about two weeks ago, I decided that I need to start living. So I'm starting to grasp opportunities that I wouldn't usually and really taking myself out of my comfort zone. I'm saying "yes!" a lot more, "no" can be a very damaging word without you even realising it. And since I've made this decision it's like opportunities are flying at me from left, right and centre. I'm so much happier, much more excited to wake up and I have more and more things to look forward to. I'm trying to really get to know myself, and slowly better myself into the person that I want to be. Everyday, I fall in love with myself a little bit more. As weird as that sounds, I think it's so important to love yourself because once you do, you can really start loving and living life without the worries of what people think of you and putting other people's happiness before your own. So yeah, just thought I'd share that little life update. If you guys have any motivating / inspiring books or movies that you can recommend, please do! Throw 'em at me!

  3. Love your style! Just came across your blog and I love it.
    About your personal journey, I always love the quote "Say yes and you'll figure it out afterwards" by Tina Fey, it's often about getting past the hurdle of just saying yes rather than no!
