The weather’s been teasing a few glimpses of Spring sunshine and ooooooooh, the temptation to hop onto ASOS and buy all the skirts and sandals and sunnies and swimwear has been STRONG.  But honestly, there’s not a lot I actually need.  As I said in my Spring Wardrobe Audit post, I’m trying to be a bit savvier when it comes to spending on clothes and have only been buying things that either I desperately need or know that I’m going to wear until it literally falls off me in pieces.

That being said, I have picked up a few Spring/Summer pieces over the past couple of weeks that I absolutely love – including a shirt dress that’s so beautiful it lured me into getting my penne pasta pins out on camera.  😉

Patterned Shirt Dress

I’ve come to the realisation that I’m just not a dress kinda gal.  “And yet you’ve just bought a dress, you donut!” I hear you say, and – yes – I’m making absolutely no sense, but let me just try and explain.  It’s not that I don’t like dresses, it’s more about the fact that I’m really fussy.  After spending a lot of money in my twenties on dresses that just didn’t suit me, now that I’m in my thirties it’s got to be something really special for me to take the plunge.  Enter this crazy beautiful shirt dress that I found in T K Maxx.  Mismatched prints are pretty on-trend for 2019 and this one was just too stunning to walk past – and a total bargain for such a high quality piece. 🙂

Colour-block Mid Heels

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of mid, everyday heels for a while now and stumbled across this pair from Monsoon while I was doing St Davids’ Big Night Out a couple of weeks ago (which meant I got a cheeky 20% discount – win!).  I pretty much live in pointed flats, but I fancied something just a little bit dressier but just as comfy for events and nights out.  These are a dead ringer for the colour block heels Carolina Herrera dropped last Spring.

Spotty Sliders

I completely fell in love with sliders last summer and pretty much wore to death a pink, faux suede pair that I picked up from Marks and Spencer.  I find them so comfy and easy to wear that I just couldn’t resist picking up this polka dot pair in T K Maxx for £9.99!  I mean, the weather’s nowhere near bare-the-toes sandal-level yet so I’ve actually been wearing them around the house and no kidding, they’re as comfortable as slippers! 🙂

Mom Jeans

So, I jumped on board with the whole “Mom” jean trend last summer when I picked up a cheap pair from Tesco (yes, Tesco).  They’re just the best!  I’m not a fan of skinny jeans and the very thin, elastic denim that’s used to make them – whereas these Mom Jeans are far more flattering, there’s some structure to them (and yet they’re not uncomfortable) and feel like proper denim.  I lived in the ones I picked up last summer from Tesco for £18 (they’re still going strong) and was so excited that they’d brought them back for this summer that I picked up two pairs!  One in my favourite light wash and another in black.  SORTED.

Pyjama Shirt

You know that I live in my weird shirts, and of course I’ve added a couple to the collection of the last couple of months as and when I’ve spotted them.  This blue pyjama shirt was a New Look bargain last month (£9.99 on ASOS).  The material is a bit of creaser, but it’s so soft and has a beautiful embossed rose print that catches the light.

Weird Shirt

I just couldn’t leave this one!  It’s an ASOS Design, oversize white shirt with naked ladies and boobs plastered all over it.  I love it.  Someone on Instagram totally hit the nail on the head when they said that it reminded them of Matisse’s line drawings.  I don’t think it’s available on ASOS anymore, but funnily enough, Toppers brought out something very similar in their Spring drop.

I’m also massively lusting after this sweet lil’ baby from Zara; it’s silky, it’s spotty, I kinda need it. 😉

What new Spring Style pieces are you lusting after right now?  The weather’s supposed to get up into double digits next week; so I’m excited to shed my parka and wellies and start wearing sandals!  Have a beautiful weekend! 🙂
