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!

Hey Guys!

So I had a bit of a Primark spree when my loan came in to get myself some new threads. Primark is actually really lovely at the moment, lots of pastels! So I got this lush bomber jacket and necklace which I thought was pretty decent. I love the print on this jacket, it's got that gorgeous vintage appeal to it.

In other news my Burberry bag is falling apart after only a few months of having it (gutted!) So I went and bought this pink satchel from Primark almost to spite Burberry. It'll probably last longer.

Peace out

And Other Stories Silk-Blend Trousers - £40 sale

Zara Printed Trouser with Side Zip -£39.99

Lazy Oaf From The Heart Jeans - £65

 Motel Jez Cigarette Pant in Sunshine Flower Navy - £35

I've always been a skirt/dress kinda gal myself but ever since I bought a pair of printed trousers in the Zara sale I have found myself buying more trousers. Since then I have bought a plain pair of pale pink silky high waisted trousers from Primark and a pair of brightly printed trousers from Monki. It's safe to say I have a new found love for the trouser. 

Here are some I've seen which have taken my fancy recently. I've actually tried on the pair from And Other Stories and they are so comfortable and well made. Although I think I may prefer the Zara pair which caught my eye whilst walking past the store yesterday, may have to go and try those on! 

Others I like are the Lazy oaf From the Heart jeans, its just a shame that an 8 is the smallest size they do. I am also in love with this Motel print! So pretty! I am ashamed to say however that I have never bought anything from Motel before.. I am more of a shop shopper than an online shopper as I like to see what I am getting before I pay.

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!
