THE STRIPE TSHIRT DRESS // autumn ootd

H&M DRESS / H&M COAT / FOREVER 21 BAG / H&M NECKLACE / PRIMARK TIGHTS / MAC ALL FIRED UP LIPSTICK

I have a new-found-love for dresses. Never previously liking them for day-wear, afraid of looking too formal, I've been converted. The best place for casual dresses I've found is H&M, where I've purchased 3 and I love them. This striped basic t-shirt dress is the newest edition and I am in love with how effortless it looks. They are SO easy and comfortable to wear, and I have a feeling this dress will get so much wear all year round. It's the first t-shirt dress I've ever owned and I love how it looks with black tights and an oversized blazer, keeping it neutral. My style has definitely changed from more patterned, colourful pieces, to more simple, plain pieces -  which are probably more boring, but are so easy to wear.Yet wearing neutrals, I can't be without a bold lip, and I've opted for Mac's matte lipstick in All Fired Up, which probably isn't the most autumnal shade, but love how it looks with this outfit anyway.

What are you wearing this autumn?

seaside attire (take two)

dress + sunglasses : h&m / bag: forever 21 / sandals: primark

If you've read my last post, you'll know I was wrapped up in leggings and a jacket for the seaside. Yet, the very next day I wore this...british weather confuses me. As there were pretty flowers and a flowery dress to go with it, I thought I'd share my outfit.

I am in love with this loose fitting smock-style dress from h&m. I already have a blue paisely-patterned which I wear all the time, so I decided another would be a good investment. I think it was around £12.99. I chose my trusty Forever 21 faux leather zippered bag to pair with the dress, as well as my favourite H&M sunnies and white Primark sandals.

whats your favourite thing to wear in the summer?

For my first fashion post, (please forgive the mirror shot) I wanted to share a trend I'm loving at the moment : orange. I went shopping in London last week and decided I really wanted something orange after seeing it everywhere in the shops. I picked up this casual top from H&M for £3.99, which I already own in black...orange is the new black hey? I love the bold colour, and decided to pair it with all black items to balance it out. This bag is also new and was £23 from Forever 21 - I love it, its the perfect size and goes with everything.
