Spread my wings and fly away

Hi there!

Here's my outfit for today...

I ♥ Toy Story




Cardigan - New Look
Butterfly-wing top - Garden Collection at H&M
Shorts - New Look
Tights - Primark
Hot air balloon necklace - Accessorize

I got this Garden Collection butterfly-wing top from H&M in the summer last year and it has become one of my wardrobe favourites. The gorgeous light peach colour is great for the summer time and it's loose fit makes it so comfortable and cool to wear. I'm usually not a fan of such loose-fitting clothing as I think it can sometimes make me look bigger than I am. But by teaming it with tights and shorts I think it balances the outift out quite well.

The bow tights from Primark were a TOTAL bargain at just £1 in the sale. It seems they were there as they are just a bit too thick to wear in the summer but they are perfect for this time of year when there is still a bit of a breeze hanging around.

I wish this outfit really could fly me away. More than ever I am feeling a need to get out of the country and have a holiday. I didn't get out of the UK at all last year which was so disappointing as travelling around and discovering new places is something that I would love to do more of. I definitely need to start saving some pennies next term to make this possible.

Luckily, in just TWO WEEKS AND TWO DAYS I am off to Paris for the day with my family. I am so excited I can hardly contain it. It's only a day but we plan to squeeze in as much as possible - any recommendations of where we should go? If you know of any good boutique shops I would love some recommendations?

I even have a Paris tee that I think I am going to have to wear. Don't worry though - I won't go too over-the-top-Carrie-Bradshaw on you all. I'm not sure I could pull it off!
