Petite Outfit Idea #6 Summer Stripes (Casual)

Boo!

Did any of you watch Eurovision last night? Unfortunately I only managed to see snippets of it so will have to catch up with it soon! I didn't even realise who the winner was until I saw the news this morning, congratulations to Conchita Wurst :) Eurovision is always controversial but I like it mainly because of Graham Norton's commentary, he just makes me laugh with his sarcasm;p 

So...What has been up with the weather lately?! Sunny one minute, then it's crazy windy and raining the next! Typical unpredictable British weather right there. Despite this craziness I managed to get away with wearing a more summery outfit which I'd like to share with you all today :)

Because the weather can be so temperamental I layered up with this cute pink cardigan which is from Boohoo. When it first arrived I was actually slightly disappointed because I thought it was the pale pastel pink that was shown on the website, but it turned out to be a much brighter/darker pink. I guess lighting can be deceiving as it actually looks a little pale here. But I'm now in love with it. It is slightly large, but I personally quite like that baggy casual look. Although I'm not sure whether it is a great choice for a petite like myself. 

These are actually my first pair of patterned shorts which I bought in Hong Kong. I personally prefer wearing shorts rather than skirts, as then you wouldn't have to worry about a sudden gust of wind ahha. It's probably just an illusion but I think these shorts make me look a bit taller than I actually am haha:p

I'm loving drop armhole tops at the moment as well. They're just so easy to match and just gives a little edgy look to any outfit. I paired this exact top in another post if any of you are interested: HERE :)

Since it's Eurovision time, I thought I'd share one of my all time favourite songs. Even though I've not been watching Eurovision for that long, Fairytale by Alexander Rybak has been my absolute favourite for all these years. He may not be the best singer, and the lyrics to this song are a bit strange, his violin skills are incredible! He actually made me regret stopping the violin ;p The rhythm is just so catchy and powerful :)




I hope you liked this little outfit :) Also I just wanted to thank you for all the suggestions for the little drawer in my Homeware post (Here), I really appreciate it! :)

Are you are shorts or a dress/skirt person? And what is your favourite Eurovision song?

Enjoy the rest of the weekend :) Take care and speak soon!

  8. Aw, this outfit is so comfy and pretty! I prefer shorts over skirts or dresses for casual outfit, just so it's easier to move around:) Dresses and skirts are more likely reserved for special occasions for me:)

  17. I am a big fan of ESC too. And, he is one of my favorites. I totally agree that the lyrics are a little off....but generally speaking, his music is delightful.
