My Summer Wardrobe 2018

Hi everyone, I'm finally here with this post! I'm so sorry it's so late, I had various reasons why this couldn't go up earlier, including Father's Day, lost schoolwork and photography issues, but at least it's here now! I thought this post would be a great opportunity to discuss what I'll be wearing this summer, since the weather will be getting warmer next week and the summer clothes will (hopefully!) be making a reappearance! I'm going to try to include things that I've bought recently, so I can leave a link so you can check the items out if you like it too! Also, thank you to my best friend Jess for taking most of these photos, she has her own blog which you can check out here: http://www.jesslouise.co.uk/

1. Shorts - I've only worn shorts a few times so far this year, but since next week is looking to be around 26 degrees, I may have to dig them out again! Most of my shorts are from Primark, but a couple of my favourite pairs are from H&M. Most of my shorts are just standard denim, however in Primark the other week I picked up a white lace pair that are a bit different than my usual style and I love them! They were pretty cheap, at £8. I've not yet worn them, but I can't wait to!

This photo also features the mustard top I start ranting about below.

2. Tops - I've been buying my fair share of smaller, not quite cropped tops, all which will match at least one pair of shorts I own. My favourite is the one I bought most recently - a mustard coloured ribbed vest top with tortoise shell buttons, which I've heard are popular this summer! This is, again, from Primark, and cost only £5! I also picked up a striped ribbed vest top from Primark, costing £4. The mustard top goes great with the shorts mentioned and pictured above, and the striped top goes really well with a black denim skirt I've got, speaking of which...

This photo also features the black skirt mentioned below, you can check it out here: https://www.prettylittlething.com/cammie-black-denim-mini-skirt.html

3. Skirts - I only own a few skirts as I usually wear jeans, but I have two denim skirts that I love wearing whatever the weather, however I feel they can be styled really well in summer! The first is a standard blue denim skirt from ASOS that cost £25 (however I got it cheaper - student discount rocks!) and the second is a black A-line skirt with buttons down the front from PrettyLittleThing, which cost £15 (but I think I got a discount on this too!). As mentioned above, my striped top looks great with the black skirt and I have another yellow top with buttons down the front and a tie up (£8.99, New Look, http://www.newlook.com/uk/teens/clothing/tops/teens-pale-yellow-ribbed-tie-front-cami-/p/588346988?comp=PDP-Color-Swatch) that looks pretty good with the blue skirt.

The exact skirt is no longer available, but I found a similar one on ASOS here: http://www.asos.com/missguided-petite/missguided-petite-raw-hem-mini-skirt/prd/9145342?clr=lightstonewash&SearchQuery=petite%20denim%20skirt&gridcolumn=3&gridrow=6&gridsize=4&pge=1&pgesize=72&totalstyles=30

4. Dresses - Again, more of a jeans person, but I do have a few dresses I really like, my favourite at the moment being my black floral dress that I mentioned in a previous post, that cost £12.99 in H&M. I also have an orangey coloured striped midi dress, which I think was also mentioned in a previous post, that cost £6 from Primark that I can't wait to wear!

5. Shoes - I'm loving my sparkly Converse, as they can be worn with everything. I have a pair of sandals that I bought in Primark last year that I loved last summer, and they have pretty much the same pairs this year too, costing £5 (I think).

6. Jacket - I recently invested in a denim jacket, like I mentioned in a previous post, which is great for styling with any summer clothes. Mine came from Primark and cost £12.

This photo also include the dress from H&M mentioned above: http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0504113014.html

7. Bikinis - Obviously this isn't part of your everyday summer wardrobe, but if you're going on holiday to a hot country, you're going to need to think of these. Pretty much all my bikinis are from Primark, and the ones I haven't seen the ones I bought most recently in the shops lately (I was in Primark less than a week ago), however I've just ordered a bikini from H&M. It hasn't arrived yet so unfortunately I don't have a picture, but I'll leave you the link so you can check it out.

There you have it, a little taster of my summer wardrobe! Thank you for reading, and thank you again Jess for taking most of the pics! Let me know what posts you want to see on here in the future too! Hopefully I'll see you Sunday!
