Transitional Layering

It's officially May and we all know what that means - summer is *supposedly* on the way. We wake up, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, it looks like a beautiful summer day....and then you walk outside in your floral slip dress and catch hypothermia. This is the time of year we all hate for it's unpredictable weather and getting the balance right is nearly impossible. That's why I've learnt over the years to master the art of transitional layering, so when you're sweating your lil ass off at lunchtime it's easy to change it up and suit the weather. 

FEDORA HAT: MISSGUIDED / BLACK HOTPANTS: ASOS / *GREEN SHOULDER BAG: c/o MAIYET / SLOGAN TOP: RAD / FLORAL SHIRT, BUCKLE CHOKER: PRIMARK / *BLACK BOOTS: c/o RAID 

Fishnets are my go-to for layering at the minute. Whether they go underneath some ripped jeans, rock up a summer dress or underneath shorts like here, they're such an easy way to add a little bit of edge to any kind of outfit, especially at this time of year. Granted, they don't keep you much warmer but hey, better than bare legs right?! Other than the bag the rest of this outfit is surprisingly budget, especially the main piece - the shirt/jacket/cardigan (srsly what is it???). This is from good ol' Primark, a brand you will probably be seeing a lot of on this blog and on my Insta because my god is their new stock good! I've been a few times for "just a look" in the past few weeks and every, single time I've come away with a basket full of clothes! 

This was one of my recent buys and I love it for layering for summer. It was so cheap (around £10 I think!) and it gives a real girly grunge vibe to my outfits and I'm obsessed with it. It's going to be amazing for festival season with some round sunnies! 

Oh remember my post a few weeks ago about the statement D&G shorts? The post on the Farfetch website went live the other day and you can read all about Dolce and Gabbana's SS17 Looks To Love over there with some other amazing bloggers so make sure you check it out!
