Summer Whites

One of my favourite trends at the moment is 'white'- a colour getting quite a bit of attention this season, I think we can all agree. White is such a versatile colour, you can achieve so many different looks and moods with just the one colour. Just change the shapes, colours and textures you're wearing. Here are five different looks to spark you imagination...


Here, the simple shapes and plain textures create a minimalistic look while the leather and points also add an edge to the outfit. 

Bralet: £22.99, Mango
Sleeveless Pleather Jacket: £20, Oasis (sale)
Skirt: £35, Topshop
Heels: £48, Topshop

The neckline detail on the t-shirt, soles of the shoes and pleats in the shorts all add detail to this otherwise very minimalistic look. The chunky shoes, loose fit of the two piece and slogan on the t-shirt- 'Never fall in love with a rock star'- all give the look a tough vibe. 

Blazer: £65, Topshop
Shorts: £19.99, Zara (sale)
T-Shirt: Zara
Shoes: Office 


This outfit has a much more laid back, summery fell to it. The canvas lace-ups and denim jacket go so well together and make the crochet two piece more casual. 

Top: £14.99, H&M
Skirt: £19.99, H&M
Denim Jacket: £20, Topshop (sale)
Shoes: £35, Office


This look is certainly a lot more casual than the others, but could also be made smarter by swapping the shorts for a skirt and the sandals for heels. The fringed pleather jacket also incorporates the western cowboy trend into the look, whilst the gladiator sandals add a tribal element. 

Jacket: £30, Boohoo (sale)
Shorts: £14.99, H&M
T-Shirt: £10, Chasing the dime, Asos Marketplace 
Sandals: £19.99, New Look


The chunky boots toughen up the smart skirt and shirt in this look, whilst the ribbed socks add a sporty vibe. The organza cut out in the skirt adds interest and the sheer fabric that the shirt is made from gives the look a summery feel. 

Shirt: £35, Topshop
Skirt: £48, Topshop
Socks $8.40, eversocks.com (sale)
Boots: £90, Office




I will be back to frequent blogging now, as I have more time on my hands! I have a make-up look and some outfit posts coming up soon.
