It's been a while since I've sat down and actually had time to write a post. I finally finished my written exams and even though I still haven't finished university yet I thought I'd share my summer essentials for this year.
1. High-Waisted Denim Shorts: every summer's essential, they never seem to go out of trend. You can either buy a pair from any shop really or make your own from a pair of old jeans that you know you'll never use. Grab a pair of scissors and do the magic. You can also experiment with some studs or some dye to make them more interesting. Trust me, it's fun!
2. Maxi Skirts/Dresses: for those days where you don't feel like showing off your legs but it's too hot to wear any jeans or trousers, maxi skirts are perfect. You can also throw on a loose top over a maxi dress, not to have the same look whenever you wear the same dress. Can't wait for my maxi skirt to be delivered! This year try tie dye prints. They are back, bigger than ever.
3. Small Shoulder Bag: everyone has their own 'safety' bag that whenever you're indecisive of what goes with an outfit, you grab that certain one. Shoulder bags are perfect for summer, they're light weight and can be worn for both day-time and night-time.Try to find a bag with a colour that goes with most of your outfits. This season, fringed bags are huge and I'm still trying to find the perfect one.
4. Sandals: let's face it, in summer it's too hot not to wear sandals. Tan sandals are my summer essential, I end up buying a pair every summer and I wear the life out of it. This season, holographic shoes are the shoes to be seen in. I still haven't decided whether I should buy a pair or not. What do you think?
5. Crop Tops: What to wear with denim shorts? What to wear with maxi skirts? Yep. Crop tops. Aztec, floral, comics, plain, any print really. Whether is a cropped t-shirt, cami or vest, crop tops are an essential for the hot weather.
6. Chunky Necklaces: in summer, as opposed to winter, outfits are pretty simple without any layering and accessories. Jewellery is the answer not to have boring outfits. Take these two necklaces, the gold chain (very Rihanna-ish) goes with almost any outfit and the neon one can make an outfit paired with a simple white top and some denim shorts.
What are your summer essentials?
