Summer Clothing Haul

So summer has approached and I have myself a couple of holidays booked up. I was having a hunt through my drawers for shorts and tshirts, only to realise that I had well outgrown everything I had. I have officially went from an 8 to a 10...well in H&M sizes anyway- but I'm not complaining! Not only have I outgrown everything but the clothes that did fit were just so old and not my style anymore, so I donated them to my local charity shop. Time for a fresh start in my wardrobe SS2018 edition-it needed it, lol. I was lucky enough and very grateful for my dad to treat me to a shopping day as I had passed my exams and got my degree this year, hes literally the best- so shout out to you for these lovely pieces, dad!

With each outfit I have calculated the total cost (with and without accessories) to save you having to figure out if this would be in your budget or not should you chose to purchase any items. Remember that for every garment you see in the high street, someone is usually selling second hand on apps like Depop, Mercari, Poshmark or Ebay, so save yourself some coin and check there first! And remember, always buy what suits YOU, whats trending may not fit in with your style, plus you can use accessories you already have to match with staple pieces. So please take inspiration from fashion bloggers and interpret their style in your own way and you'll be slaying. But if you also want to copy everything and you think it'll look good on you too, that's totally okay too! Just be comfortable in your own skin and as long as what you're wearing makes YOU feel beautiful, that's all that matters. :)

And that's them all! The great thing about these pieces is that you can mix and match each one to have a new outfit every day, so these can really last you a couple of weeks on holiday. This is what I was going for when buying, so if you're on on a budget like me, maybe this could be a shopping hack for you too. I also bought some swimwear pieces but I may save them for another post, so if you would be interested in seeing that please let me know!

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed,
