Summer Fashion

13th January 2015

forever new blouse mr price shortsforever new blouse topshop sunniescobalt yellow outfit inspirationforever new clutch topshop sunglasses lovisa accessories mr price shorts forever new blouse woolworths shoesmr price high waisted shortssummer outfit inspirationIf I had to pick my two absolute favourite colours for summer fashion this summer they would have to be cobalt blue and yellow.  I have a terrible habit of becoming completely obsessed with colours for about a year or so before venturing off towards a new one.  I’ve been like this since I was a child.  I remember my first trip to Paris, aged 11, when my mom wanted me to have a beautiful summer wardrobe to wear in the most glamorous city in the world but I completely limited her choice by overruling anything that wasn’t lilac.  Fast forward ten years and I wouldn’t even look at anything in the shops that wasn’t rose gold or blush pink.  I guess that’s just a part of my character that’s never going to change.

This summer though, I have been absolutely loving cobalt blue and different shades of yellow.  I don’t think I’ve ever owned yellow clothing until this past year and my collection has certainly grown.  I tend to gravitate towards blue quite often but previously it was baby blue or navy but now I’m loving cobalt or royal blue shades.  I think these two colours together pair so well for summer fashion.  They’re bright and playful which is perfect for this season.  I really love the embroidered blouse in this cobalt colour paired with these yellow high waisted shorts that I borrowed from my sister.  I think they make such a fun summer outfit.  What do you think?

What are your favourite shades for summer?

      Our weather has been amazing. If anything, perhaps a bit too warm but it is wonderful for our vacation time! xxx
