Lately I've been getting in touch with my inner hippie side and i cannot stop ! I had a bitta extra free time this weekend so i could blog twice . YAY ! I held off posting this one until during this week as i didn't wanna bombard you guys with my blog. I know sometimes it can be a bit too much and some people don't have the time to read it all the time. Usually i hate dressing for summer, due to the looks at me for how pale my skin is , but this year i dunno what happened to me ! The legs are out all over the gaff and why not ? I'm finally comfortable enough with myself not to care about how white i am. I know its almost see tru but who cares ! WE WERE ALL BORN TO BE DIFFERENT :) 

This look is sooooo easy to achieve at the moment and even when its not on trend I'm thinking i might like to continue to dress this way as i find it very flattering for my body type . These pics were taken by my boyfriend like usual, he's sucha gem ! They were taken in the same place i always take photos, the war memorial gardens in Kilmainham.

Lets get on with the outfit details :

Dress : The dress is from forever 21 ( stated above ) and was only 16euro . The print and style is a huge nod to the 70's . It was so comfy. Maybe that is due to the fact that its a large . Look it was the last one hanging on the rail and the colour, shape and print were so intriguing i just had to have . I'm a huge believer of the moto , '' Buy now or cry later.'' This kinda situation happens to me often , mostly due to lack of funds and not sizing . Money issues are usually block most of the purchases i wish to make , as i never have money in my account . I'm trying to change this ! So in future blogs i shall let u know the progress haha.

Waistcoat : HOLY SUEDE ! Suede is a HUGE yes in my wardrobe ! I absolutely hate the fact that high street shops has started to make these mediocre replicas . Girls get to the closest vintage shop or even online and spend a little more for sucha a timeless key item. Lets face it, every year around this time the fringe and suede come out in force because of festival season , so why not have one there for your time of need. I got this little beaut of a waistcoat back in march in London. I got it in beyond retro and it was £32. I know its a bit pricey for a waistcoat but look its an investment . I'll have this for years to come. Its cool with dresses ( like pics above) or even jeans and a basic top if that's what your into . Defo check out beyond retro online , they've got some great pieces .

Hat : This hat i have a love/hate kinda relationship with . First of all let me state i cannot get any hat like this to stay on my head at all ! Its so frustrating but damn do they look fucking brilliant on. This hat(forever 21) in particular is the one which blows off the most ! I cannot walk down the street without having one hand on my head . Ok so they were the cons and now the pros ....... JUST LOOK AT IT ! Its pure, western perfection. I thought this would look better with this outfit rather than my go to h&m one. I cannot remember the price of it but I'm sure it was cheap enough !

Chain : Just a quick little trick for all u fashionistas out there . This unreal chain is actually two anklets i got off eBay . I thought i'd be a little crafty and just join the two of them together to see if it would actually look like a chain . Boom !!!!!! It looks amazing .Be doing things like this more often . Girls try it out with any unwanted bracelets or even use unwanted chains and tie them around a pair of boots that u feel need a little style boost . 

Hoping to keep up with these regular blog posts and keep the outfits up to scratch too ! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this look and blog post and if you have any ideas on what else i should blog leave a comment below :) :) :)
