Spring Fashion Inspiration

Well, spring is officially upon us and after several hours on pinterest, I decided too put together a "Spring Fashion Inspiration" post to get into the spring mood :) Most of these can work in summer as well.

Pastels 

Pastels are stereotypically spring, I mean I don't know about you but even when I think of the word "spring" it's written in baby pink. I don't know why either, maybe it's because they're light and girly and not to bold and in your face. They're the perfect transition colours from winter's dark colours to summer's bright colours. I absolutely adore them!

Floral

Another stereotypical spring thing because you know, flowers blossom in spring and all. However it's weird that I'm putting them in this post because I used to hate floral prints as I thought they were either super girl or for old ladies. Oh how wrong I was.. I mean they're still super girl but I don't mind that much anymore (not like I did when I was a kid and hated the sight of pink, YUCK!) in fact I quite like them, especially little prints and daisies.

Lace

 Lace reminds me of the little sundresses I worn on summer holidays when I was little. It's very bohemian and screams music festival. Now that it's getting warmer I want  to add some lace dresses and tops to my wardrobe so I can feel like a summer Goddess, especially with a flower crown. Oh how Tumblr!

 High Neck Spaghetti Tops and Dresses

 Ignoring the fact of I have no idea what these are actually called I love them and think they're perfect for spring and summer! There are such a cool twist on you're average strapy top (which I look hideous in as the boob gods frown upon me completely missed me out) These just look so chic and tumblr and I think they're super flattering!

Denim

 Denim is obviously an all year round thing but I thought I'd still mention it because I've seen quite a few spring outfits I like that include it that I love the look of. Mainly waistcoats and dungarees.. I LOVE dungarees! :3

Stripes

Stripes are another thing I used to hate but they're grown on me (not literally) .. probably due to watching too much a lot of Zoella. I think they're very stylish and even classy ;) And I think they're perfect for spring to pair with a bright colour because they may be monochrome but they still look bright and add interest to an outfit.

Whale, that's it. Of course there are tons of clothes I think are super springy but I tried to narrow it down. If you want to see where I found all these pictures and more my pinterest is linked below :)

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed ^,^

What do you think of these and what are your spring fashion must haves?

I hope you have a super fantastic day!

CYA!

Spring Fashion Inspiration

Skater Skirts and Collared Shirts| Look Lust

At the beginning of the year I told you how I wanted to discover my own style and fashion sense.. Somewhat. To start to do this I made a "Fashion Inspiration" board of my pinterest. And I freaking love that board. 

Anywho, I recently discovered that a lot of the outfits I were pinning consisted of ether skater skirts or collared skirts, or both. I don't know if this is a trend but I'm in love with the combination. 

I own a few collared skirts (which I used to leave unbuttoned in favour of the grunge look but now opt to button them up) but I don't own any skater shirts.. or any shoes to match (most of the shoes that match are heels and I; a) can't walk in heels TO SAVE MY LIFE and b) I'm 5ft 7" already and don't want to feel anymore like a dinosaur) 

I think the reason I love this look so much is that it's so versatile. You can dress it up it a pair of heels and some jewellery or down with a pair of combat boots and maybe a jumper. I think ether look is still very femine and put together and well looks like you made an effort to look decent ;)

All light colours make the outfit look so pretty and feminine as well as quite sophisticated :)

 This look is so perfect for a holiday or a day out. The sleeves rolled up take a bit of the sophisticatedness away and replaces it with more of a "lets go on an adventure look" They also both kind of remind me of the smart "pretty" girl in shows, like Lydia form teen wolf, this is her kind of fashion.

 Ghar! It just looks so fresh and cool aha!  Now picture backpack straps and this will be me going to school in summer!

The sheer black tights and black heels makes her legs look stunning! and the jumper matching the colours in the floral skirt really ties everything in. This would be an idea choice for a meal or night out, especially if you don't know whether to to go full out with a dress and heels or more casual. This is somewhere in between.

 SO, my plan of action for how I, and you if you wish, can achieve this look is the following:

1.) GET A SKATER SKIRT 
I found Teens Black High Waisted Skater Skirt ( £9.99 ) online at Newlook which is fine because I still fit into the kid/teen section as I'm only 16 and fairly slim but I'm pretty sure they have an adult version if you've got more of a figure then me :)  

2.) GET A/SOME COLLARED SHIRTS

I've been scrolling the interwebs for like 15 minutes and I can't find one that I particularly like but I'm pretty sure most shops sell them and I can tell I'll have to see it in real life and try it on to see if I like it.

3.) GET SOME NON-DINOSAUR-LOOK-MAKING SHOES THAT MATCH

Some military boots would be ideal and even some white converse for when its warmer and I don't have to wear like three pairs of tights. I found these which are really nice and pocket friendly.

4.) GET A JUMPER TO THROW OVER THE TOP BECAUSE IT'S COLD IN THE UK

 Again pretty much every clothes shop sells them.

Here's a drawing I made to try and feed my lust for this style :) (hand drawn and the coloured on procreate for ipad, you can check it out on my instagram if you want ;) )

Okay that's all for today, 

 Thanks for reading!

Hope you enjoyed ^.^

What do you think of this style? would you wear it?

Have a super fantastic day!
