Matchy Matchy, Yay Or Nay?

I've massively neglected my blog for the past couple of weeks due to my ridiculous workload and impending deadlines at Uni, I can only apologise to my readers. Less of the boring drivel, let's move onto the good stuff!

So, I've blogged quite a lot about the wedding I'm going to (it's on Monday, so I'll shut up about it after this post, I promise!) but when you're going to church, I always think you have to select your outfit really carefully. It has to be classy and pretty but not show too much cleavage or leg, so not to upset the vicar! 

For men, suits are the go-to outfit for a wedding so I decided to try and follow suit (no pun intended!) and search for a matching blazer and shorts suit. Now, whilst I couldn't find shorts, I did find the cutest matching blazer and puffball skirt on ASOS, so click click and it was on it's way to my house.


I blogged about ordering this outfit here, so you'll find all the details about pricing here too.

I love the idea of a two-piece suit for girls, I think it looks so classic but not many shops, in my opinion, are promoting and selling them well. I scoured the high street before finding this one on ASOS and whilst I absolutely love it, I think the print is so quaint, unfortunately I couldn't keep it for the wedding. The skirt is of a length that's totally acceptable for a Friday night on the tiles but one that would make the vicar blush in church! Also, I'm your average size 10 girl and I got the blazer in that size and it swamped me (you can't tell in this photo as I'm clutching it in at the waist but it was massive, so I'd advise a size smaller).

This hasn't put me off two-piece sets though, I'm still searching for my perfect girl suit!

Are you a fan of the girl suit?

Candy Colours Fashion

So, as most of us know, pastels are set to be a big trend this season and I can't proclaim my love of this colour pallet enough. There is a colour and a shade for everyone and it's a gorgeous trend for the S/S 2012 months.


With this in mind, I've already mentioned that I'm going to a wedding and was on the lookout for an outfit. I think I might have possibly nailed it, with help from my fellow blogger, Jenny (you'll find her gorgeous fashion blog here).

Blazer, £40, River Island

Blouse, £12, Primark

Skirt, £16, River Island

Shoes (old season), £35, Miss Selfridge

Don't get me wrong, I love the soft creams and lemons that are currently all over the high street but every outfit needs that statement piece and for me, in this outfit, it's all about the neon pink blazer. It's a lovely soft blazer with rolled-up cuffs and perfect for the summer months. I feel a bit like an ice-cream in this outfit but everyone likes ice-cream, so that can't be a bad thing, right? I like to think this outfit looks good enough to eat (terrible joke I know, I'm sorry).

I was a little bit naughty though and I've also got a second outfit on order for the wedding, so then I can compare the two and see which I like best! Because of this, my bank account has currently fallen out with me in a spectacular way... I did get it on special offer as ASOS are currently offering 25% off everything between now and Friday for students, so if you haven't already taken advantage of this offer, I advise you do it now!

Blazer, £65 (£48.75 with discount), ASOS

Puffball Skirt, £35 (£26.25)

I've been lusting after a ''shorts suit'' for a while, they make such a nice change to your usual drab and boring trouser suits. I saw this one on ASOS and whilst it doesn't actually have shorts for the bottom half, it instead has this adorable puffball skirt which I think provides a really girly twist! Plus, I'd totally be able to wear both these items again separately, especially the blazer. I love the print on it too as it's really pretty but totally eye-catching too, you want to see it in closer detail.

Unfortunately, Mr Postman hasn't delivered it yet so I can't show you what it looks like on the average girl in comparison to the model on the website but I'll definitely keep you updated!

So, which outfit do you think is best for the wedding?

Wedding Outfit Dramas.

Let's get this out of the way first, I LOVE weddings. I love attending them, I love the outfits, the fascinators but most of all, I love finally getting to see the wedding dress. Now, I don't know about you but like most little girls, I've had thoughts about my wedding from a young age. I know exactly what I want and exactly how I want it done, the groom won't even get a say..
I say this like there's the chance I might be getting married soon but there's not, there's more chance of Beyonce's new baby being ugly than me walking up the aisle any time soon. 


Right, so, back to the actual point of the blog after drifting off into wedding land.
I was planning on purchasing this dress for the wedding as it was formal enough for the occasion but dressy enough to be worn on nights out in the future. Except I hit a problem today, the dress is too big on my collarbone area, HEARTBREAK. 

Dress, £36, Topshop

As I'd totally set my heart on purchasing this outfit for the wedding, I have now drawn a complete blank as to anything else to wear!
Can anyone point me in the direction of some lovely potential wedding outfits?
