What I'm Wearing

Rainy London has tried its best to ruin all my summer outfit plans. I don't know about you, but once it starts to rain I just add opaque tights to whatever I was going to wear anyway. It's the only practical option as there is nothing worse than traipsing round in sodden jeans that suction onto your thighs, or having dubious wet patches on a grey marl maxi skirt, or trackie bottoms so heavy with water they start to fall down.

Anyway, for this rather miserable bank holiday weekend I have mostly been wearing...

...this H&M T-shirt dress. It was a total bargain at £12, and I have worn it every week in the couple of months since I bought it. Apologies for the terrible photography, it means you can't see the nice detail on the sleeves, which are quite fitted and nicely cuffed. 

These are my two latest purchases that I just can't reconcile with opaque tights and massive dirty puddles, respectively. The Topshop pleat shorts are what I like to call my 'archaeologist' shorts. I'm thinking about getting some tortoiseshell flip up sunglasses like these to go with them. I bought the Office jelly shoes about a month ago while I was waiting around in Covent Garden, a bit of an impulse purchase, and I have only got to wear them once. They were pretty comfy and left the most amazing patterns on my feet once I took them off! Absolutely perfect for my upcoming holiday - now I can paddle in the sea with shoes on, neatly negating the worry of stepping on a jellyfish or sea urchin while also looking super-stylin.
