Top - New Look

Bra - Urban Outfitters

Skort - Zara

Bag - New Look

This could easily be somewhere exotic right? Right. But it was actually in North Wales! I went there for a spontaneous day out with my friend Laura (see her super awesome and quirky blog here) on one of my days off a couple of weeks ago. I actually was wearing a different top when I left, but it was so hot I had to change into something cooler!

I don't know about you but I find that sometimes the pastel trend can be a bit daunting. Most trends which make their way into high-street stores I find are relatively easy to wear in some way or another. But with this one it's different. Whether it's because I'm living in Wales and the weather we get dictates the colour clothes I wear (as in dark autumnal colours and black) or it's the risk of walking around like a giant marshmallow or a drumstick lollipop, I have found myself avoiding the pastel trend like the plague. I thought by the time the A/W collections came into store last year it would be the last I saw of pastel clothing. But no. It's come back again and I feel that this time I really should give it a go seeing as it's going to be sticking around longer than I thought. 

 I've been browsing Pinterest for some pastel outfit inspiration and I came across some amazing 60's fashion photography featuring pastel garments. Although I don't think the head-to-toe pastel look is for me, unlike blogger Charlotte Fisher from Things I do, think and buy who manages to pull it off so well every time.

So instead here are some images which are tempting me to delve into the trend by wearing one statement pastel garment.

 I think it's safe to say that my bank is going to hate me after looking at all these fabulous outfits!

So us girls here at Atlast have had the busiest and most stressful of weeks! It was the hand in of one of our last modules of our second year on Friday so we were frantically doing our work so that we could submit in time. I think it's safe to say that Kayleigh did the last minute cram in true all-nighter style the most so hi-5 to her! (I personally can't do that as I would literally have an actual breakdown)   

ANYWAY, that is all over now.. pheeeeeeeeew! So much relief. We can now do things like paint our nails or watch E4 without feeling bad for not doing work. Me and Molly were on that as soon as we could. Now I have pretty lilac nails unlike the past two weeks of having to look at my hideously chipped sparkly nails.

We haven't blogged in a while because of this but I'm sure we will have some outfit posts up soon! But in the meantime here are some images of what I've been up to this weekend. Enjoy.
