(not really) american beauty

Next up is my Primark beauty! Didn't realise that it all came from there til I was ready to write this, but hey ho! I went out in this with my friends from uni.

The top is a simple cotton tie top, you can get one from boohoo.com. It ties a little higher than mine, but I like the pattern and the shirt style. An uneven hem, like this one from New Look, would work just as well. If it's a little see through, like mine was, put a bandeau like this one underneath. Most places do them in the 'basics' section.

The shorts are my beauts :) I saw them in Primarni aaages ago and never got them, so of course they sold out by the time i was going to get them. Long story short, I got them :P Missguided, TopShop,  ebay and boohoo all do their own versions, some in white (TopShop and boohoo) and some with just the pockets (boohoo and Joe Browns) Alternatively, you could get multicoloured ones (Bank) or Union Flag ones (boohoo)

My tights are a charcoal colour, to soften the shoe boots, and cos they didn't have black in my size :/ The Missguided tights page is beautiful and the TopShop one isn't bad either. If you're feeling flush, Pretty Polly (House of Holland) are amaaazing!

Now, my shoes were a whole £5 from a shop that was closing down. I LOOOOVE them!! Missguided have stud-less ones, and, if you are shorter, to lengthen your legs, go for open top ones like these gorgeous New Look courts.



I borrowed all my jewelery off a friend, but you can get a necklace, earrings, and ring all from claires. I added a variation by making them pearl, not crystal like mine were, but there are crystal ones on there!

Pile your hair in a messy bun on top of your head, smokey eyes, neutral lips and some fabulous eyelashes and you're good to go! It was warm and sunny when I wore this by the way. Definitely not a winter outfit!

Enjoy x
