Outfit / Chambray + Tweed

Top / Zara . Skirt / French Connection . Sandals / Nine West . Purse / Marc by Marc Jacobs . Sunglasses / Walmart . Neckalce / Vintage from the Aberfoyled Antique Market . Chain bracelet / DIY (see here) . Spike Bracelet / Asos . Watch / Jessica by Sears

 

Here’s a little twist on a classic work ensemble. I traded a traditional cotton button-up shirt, for a very of-the-moment chambray version. Then tried to spice it up with some tough jewellery and laser-cut sandals, because this week has definitely needed some spice! I’ve been counting down the days till the weekend, which will be packed with our first trip to the cottage this summer, plus Dan’s birthday. I can’t wait to lay out with a great book on the dock, swim around in a cool, clear lake and eat b-day cake to my heart’s content! What are your plans for the second-last (eek!) weekend of the summer?
