OUTFIT: Summer Called, it's Gonna be Late!

Hiya!

After an amazing April I was ready for a marvelous May, joyous June and a jubilant July. Unfortunately, I was to be disappointed. May was a complete washout, overcast skies every day, rain every other day and low temperatures. Sigh.

But you know me, I'm not going to let that miserable weather stop me from wearing my summery threads! This apricot blouse came from Topshop for around £35, can't remember the exact amount, d'oh! It's worth every penny. In these gloomy times, it seriously lightens up the atmosphere!

The blouse itself is short at the front and long at the back, giving it a ripply appearance. It's quite a sheer number and can be worn open or buttoned-up. Be warned though, if you do wear it buttoned up you may want to wear a nice vest-top underneath unless you don't mind showing off some flesh!

Little Ben

Sheer Apricot Long Sleeved Blouse - TOPSHOP
Black Bandage Bodycon Skirt - Ark
Black Basic Vest - H&M
Gold Plaited Belt - TOPSHOP
Black Skull Printed Cardigan - eBay
Om Ring & DJ Decks Ring - Galibardy
Little Ben Necklace - TOPSHOP

How cute is the Big Ben necklace? And it isn't exactly big so I call it Little Ben, tehe! I bought this last year, it came with a silver chain that looked a bit goth-esque, and I'm not too keen on gold and silver mixed together so I replaced it with a gold chain :)

Hope you're all having a great weekend so far. I've been at Parklife Festival, saw Two Door Cinema Club last night and I must say, I was quite disappointed, they mostly played their new songs that no one has heard of which is a big no-no for a festival! Highlight so far has to be Kelis & Katy B! I'm now up for round 2 today, looking forward to seeing Darwin Deez & Mark Ronson!
