Frayed Denim

I feel like every time I write a new post I have a new obsession... cue: frayed denim! I've been seeing a lot of it on Instagram recently, and I was on the hunt for the perfect pair. I'm generally a Topshop jean snob (yep!), but when I was strolling around Zara recently, I came across these and the frayed ends caught my attention straight away. The blue denim is such a nice colour for spring / summer, and I love how although they're semi-slouchy, they're still a flattering fit. My favourite thing about them, though, is those huge frays... we're not just talking a little destroyed here, they're proper ripped up at the ends and I love it! They tick all the boxes when it comes to cool relaxed fit jeans and I'll definitely be living in them for the coming months.

Continuing on with my love for pink and bombers these days (can't you tell?), I paired the jeans with this really nice light bomber from Zara. I love the pale pink sleeves with the contrasting grey. It's soo light that it's perfect for layering on chiller days, or wearing on its own for summer. 

My backpack of the moment is a main feature of this outfit again... I just love the pop of metallic it brings to my looks. You can also never go wrong with a simple white tee and adidas stan smiths - I live in both of these and revolve so many of my outfits around them.

I'm really loving experimenting with pastels and cool-tone colours at the moment. Looks like these are getting me very excited for the summer to really begin and to start adding even more to my outfits!

SPRING! It's finally been showing its face these past few days, and it's definitely about time now that it's almost May (gasp!). Although I love layering etc. in winter, I'm always very happy once the spring/summer months roll around. Who isn't all about them bright evenings and longer days?

One thing I have been obsessing over this spring is *drumroll*... pink. As a self-proclaimed neutral and monochrome lover, I definitely didn't think I'd see the day that I'd be lusting after all things pink. It's not just any shade of pink I'm loving though, it's all about the dusty rose pink for me. This pink bomber I'm wearing above I picked up on Asos, and I was so excited when I saw it. I had had my eye on a similar one from Mango, which sold out very fast, so as soon as I saw this I was all over it! I reeeeally didn't need another bomber... but I reeeeeally needed this pink one. Sold! 

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've also got a thing for glitter socks these days, so a pink pair was obviously a must and I absolutely love these. Such a cheap and cheerful way to add some interest and colour to an outfit.

The rest of this outfit is pretty simple. I'm wearing my favourite coated jeans from Topshop, and my trusty docs. Basic white tees are one of my wardrobe musts, and this one from Cos stores is a favourite - oversized and really good quality. I'm absolutely loving this embroidered bomber from Zara, I get so much wear out of these kind of things as they're so perfect for both day and evening wear. I love the addition of the flowers to add that perfect spring/summer vibe. I'm all over this silk bomber trend and I can't wait to live in them for the summer months!
