Can you believe that I actually wore something that wasn't black? Shock horror! I decided to step out of my comfort zone with this outfit - both with the colour and the style of trousers. Also, I'm wearing my hair up... this post is full of surprises. I wore this outfit on both Saturday and Sunday of this week; on Saturday for the Oriflame blogger's event (More on that soon) and on Sunday for meeting Martin after he finished work. If you live in the UK like I do, then you'll know that the past weekend saw an abundance of hot, sunny weather - something us Yorkshire folk are really not used to, to be honest. Knowing that it was on the way, I planned an outfit that would be loose fitting and comfortable; anything tight was an absolute no-go.

The top is one of my new favourites from Matalan, that I picked up over a month ago in store. It was the coral version that caught my eye (Which I also own), and whilst initially I wasn't sure about the folds down the front of the top, it's something that I've grown to really like. I picked up the blue one just to try something different, and I love the texture of the fabric and the fit. With this new blue addition to my wardrobe, when I spotted these trousers in Primark I knew I had to have them - and I know that I've gone on about them until the cows come home, but they are so, so comfortable. They're quite flattering, even on my tree trunk legs and I can see me wearing these a lot throughout the summer. The sunglasses are a recent purchase, and now go with me everywhere I go. I got them in the tortoiseshell colourway, but I'm tempted to pick them up in black too because I love them so much! The necklace I bought last month, reduced to £2 (Sammie was wearing the same on on Saturday!), and whilst I love the 'nuts and bolts' design and mixed metals, as Martin pointed out to me in fits of laughter, it leaves my neck green! I need to get some clear nail varnish onto it, pronto. The bracelet and shoes are old purchases from a couple of years ago, but I know that Primark are selling a very similar pair of loafers at the moment!
