Those early Summer, Spring fresh days are some of my favourite and also, I think, some of the easiest to dress for. Apart from Winter when you can literally throw anything on because you'd have a massive coat covering everything anyway, Spring/early Summer is great when it's around 15-20 degrees, the perfect outfit weather. It's not too hot so that a. you get flustered and sweaty just trying different outfits on, b. you can still wear a nice sleeve or a pair of trousers with a strappy top, meaning you don't have to have legs and arms and stomach out just to stop from melting away.
It's also great because, if it is verging on the slightly cooler end you can pair a nice skirt with a pair of boots carried over from your winter wardrobe which will look cool, keep your feet warm and get the most out of that investment.
The outfit in this post is perfect for a relatively casual dinner date, although the shirt smartens it slightly, or can be worn in the day simply for running errands, shopping, you name it because it's comfy and stylish. The jeans are from H&M, although they're not quite the perfect mom jean. I find them just slightly too baggy around the ankle and I'm not personally a huge fan of the frayed hem, but in lieu of anything else at the moment these more than do the job. Paired with this spotty black and white shirt, which cost me a grand total of £5 from Ebay and a gorgeous pair of heeled espadrilles from Next, it looks chic and put together, without really trying too hard at all.
These espadrilles are really beautiful. I love the fact they are all black as I think this makes them a bit different to the norm, and the tie ankle straps look elegant yet relaxed. They are on the slightly higher side of a heel for me, but because they're a wedge, they're still pretty comfy.
I've also thrown in a fragrance discovery into the post, the Summer Sun scent, also from Next. This is a great dupe for the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess. It has that same coconut-ty, suncream smell that just screams hot sunny days. I would highly recommend if you're looking for an easy, bright summer fragrance that is also as cheap as chips.
