Last week, we managed to time this shoot with the one single day of sunshine. Although the temperature is chilling down, it’s still warm enough for A-Line skirts and no tights, thankfully.

FRAYED DENIM
I already have a lot of New Look pieces in my wardrobe (from mainly recent trips to be honest – it’s so good at the minute!), so mixed this frayed denim tee with my own skirt (frayed denim has been around for a while now but it’s an ongoing thing). I love how frayed doesn’t necessarily mean grungey, now.
And double denim? Who cares – denim is having such a moment I don’t think I’d even look out of place with a denim jacket thrown over my shoulders, as well (but I stuck to leather, for my sanity). I think the fact that they’re different grains of denim actually works better so the look isn’t too matchy matchy.

Your dungarees are so cute!! Lovely denim looks…

I hope this doesn't sound silly but I am really glad you said although the post was a collaboration you would be sending some of the items back! I'm an avid blog reader and I have been following yours for a long time 🙂 and sometimes it's tough to see so many bloggers wearing new clothes all the time! Loving clothes and fashion is such an expensive habit after all!! Frankie http://www.newgirlontheblog.me
Hi Frankie, I know what you mean – and I like to disclaim sometimes – as I also sometimes get criticism for buying too many clothes…but for me, as well, new clothes means new content – so sometimes it's a price worth paying….it's always a fine line and I try to be conscious of others people's budgets and not 'flaunt' free things etc – most of the items I wear I have genuinely bought xx
ALEX the BIKE!!!!! Oh that bike is HEAVEN!!!!!! I've just googled them and nearly had a heart attack! But seriously might start saving. I bought a Pashley in a sort of dirty mint-green about four years ago and i thought i'd never find another bike i'd love as much! Damn you for tempting me!
Ps, loving the different and refreshing take on the double denim. I *almost* picked up this skirt the other day but couldn't decide if i preferred the Topshop version. Saying that the Topshop one came up a little shorter and this is a nicer length. Hmmmm!
I know….alas – it was only used as a prop – but it made me so sad giving it back! Would love a bicycle but with a top floor flat it would just get ruined outside….one day!
Alex, looks like you had fun, photos and clothing all lovely and very you too.
Xx
Thank you! Yes it is totally me….love denim all year round! xx
