A job I saw advertised recently required applicants to write a list of 10 crucial style items for the summer ahead. These lists can often be a bit dull but (unsurprisingly) I found thinking about what my pieces would be pretty fun. It's not only my style but everything else that's done on a shoe string - it was nice to fantasise about a couple of dream items. I'm looking at you £200+ Marques Almeida jacket.
Here are a few of my essentials should anyone be interested:
Hardly pushing the fashion boundaries, but I've barely taken mine off since buying them a few months ago. These are a classic 90s throw back to be worn with all manner of outfits. A friend of mine advised me to get these in black because you can always repaint dark suede once it starts to get ropey - top tip.
It’s
a luxury buy but one that you will wear and wear. This is an update on a classic piece - I love the frayed edges of this little jacket. Wear over a plain black dress with bronzed summer limbs.
3. Notebook, Muji, 60p
Don’t
lose track of a single thought - Muji offers the best array of stationary
around and at only 60p you can keep one in every bag.
A good neckline can be both chic and sexy - it's what makes this black dress a winner. I love the slits up the midi length skirt too, avoiding any granny vibes.
No
summer is complete without reading this tale of long hot days and nights,
unrequited love and handsome bullfighters. A classic read to inspire thoughts of travel.
