The start of summer shopping

As summer is slowly approaching I felt like there were a couple of things that I needed in my wardrobe. I had collected a lot of things last year like dresses and quite a few of the things I bought this winter like skirts, dresses and pinafores I had been wearing with thick tights and layered tops so in the summer I can just ditch the thermal extras! (fingers crossed the weather is good enough!!)

Having said that I didn't need anymore dresses, one of the things I got was a dress. But in my defence, I only have one other stripy dress and that one is black, so this navy one will be a nice addition. I loved the string detail on the front of it and I plan to wear this at the beach and when I go on holiday because it's material is nice and cool and comfy to wear!   

Sticking with the summery blue theme, my next purchase was these patterned jeans. They are summer pants and the material is a bit of a cross between jeans and canvas trousers but I have been calling them jeans because it's easier! I was drawn to them because I didn't have anything else like this and in the summer when you don't want to be wearing jeans, these lighter and pretty jeans will be perfect. 

This next thing was a bit of a risky buy because I have been eyeing up a hat like this all winter and I decided to buy it now before they go out of stock and are replaced with the summer hats. I plan on wearing this in the summer as well as next winter which I think is ok because the colour is quite versatile and I've already found lots of things that can be worn with this! 

The last thing I got were these white shoes which I thought were lovely and being a neutral colour I will get a lot of wear out of these, with trousers or a dress which I love. The only thing I would say is that, I got these in my size (6) and they fit perfectly but the material they are made out of makes them quite stiff and so they are taking me a little while to  break in but they look gorgeous so they are definitely worth the pain!
