Here comes the sun

The flurry of bank holidays is now at an end so it's back to that Monday to Friday grind. It's been a lush couple of long weekend so I'm definitely going to miss all that time off in one big go plus we got the perfect weather for it. When it comes to dressing for the sun I'm a firm believer in denim shorts and probably purchase one new pair a year. This time I've gone with the high waisted variety in that perfect not-too-dark-not-too-light colour.

Denim shorts from Topshop
Floral top from Primark

Clogs from Swedish Hasbeens x H&M

Ever since I started running I feel more confident about getting my legs out which is a good things because there shorts are pretty short. Denim shorts go with pretty much any sort of top hence the reason they're one of my summer staples. They're also great with those dresses that are a little on the short side. I'll probably wear something quite similar to this when I go to Glastonbury in June as it's the perfect festival outfit (minus the wedges and sunshine permitting). I'm also getting the chance to show you the second pair of Swedish Hasbeens x H&M clogs I bought the other week. I really like the laces on these and because there is a wedge they're very comfortable.

  4. I've always found denim and floral to go hand in hand so your top really does suit the shorts well. Those shoes have a beautiful detailing on them!

  13. I think this is a lovely outfit. I keep seeing girls wearing shorts with leotards underneath, and while they look great I can't help thinking of hair metal videos :s

  18. Love your summer outfit. The shirt is so pretty. I've been on the lookout for the perfect (cheap) denim shorts for ages: I refuse to pay more than £10 for something that's so little fabric!!
    Your shorts look really cool on you. Definitely a perfect summer staple.
