Spring Pastels

Hello all!
I take back everything I have ever said about dressing for hot weather. I repent, I repent! I've often found it quite troublesome to dress 'well' in warmer weather, as I love my coats, blazers and fur collars. But I must admit, I've eaten my words and now I will eat my hat. I purchased this outfit on a recent panic buying 'summer clothes' trip with my mother, with the intention of wearing it to the Bloggers Boutique event in London last Saturday. I also picked up the pale pink, statement necklace the following day - and in my humble opinion, it helps to achieve perfect pastel harmony! (Also I cannot look at the little cream box bag and not laugh after I was told it looked like the Pope's hat!)
 Top, Bag, Skirt & Shoes : Topshop. Necklace : H&M. Sunglasses : Camden Market.
Myself in London on the way to Bloggers Boutique!
I had written a post covering the Bloggers Boutique event, but it just didn't look terribly good once I'd finished it and other girls (like the lovely Sammi) had captured much better images than I had!  

On a final note, I know everyone says the same thing - but I really would be truly grateful if even just one of you lovely people took a minute to nominate me in the Company Blog Awards for 'Best New Fashion Blogger'. I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed sharing my musings and style with you over the last however many months, and I would be really appreciative if you would nominate me here :)

    I've had the exact same panic this last week because I much prefer layering for a colder climate! This is a really beautiful summery outfit though :D & of course I'll nominate you, Helen xxxx

    The colours in that skirt are absolutely gorgeous! Totally agree about the bag too - never thought the Pope could be style inspiration! ;)
    I completely emphasise about summer dressing; I've been dreading it the past few weeks and hiding with jeans and sheer shirts, but just as I felt about ready to embrace the heat, the rain has started pouring again and I'm back in my woolly jumpers!

    I know what you mean about dressing in the summer, though, I feel like I don't dress as well in the summer.. This outfit is really beautiful though, the colours work so well together! I love the little pope-hat-bag! Haha, it's so cute. xx
