French Style: Distressed Patchwork Jeans | La Redoute Brand Ambassador Post

For my French Style La Redoute Ambassador post this month I’m talking La Redoute’s summer sale, which in years past has seen me stocking up on some seriously lovely pieces.

The total price of this outfit? Just over £100. The distressed patchwork jeans, sheer square neckline top and block-heeled sandals (also available in beige and blue) came to £103, which I think is such a bargain – they’re just a few of the best picks from La Redoute’s (always reliable) summer sale.

It’s no wonder I’ve been buying from this brand for so long – they have some of the best sales around, and regular offer codes only go further to bring your basket price down even further.

 

I am a brand ambassador for La Redoute after winning a competition to find two bloggers to represent the brand for 2014-15. The prize includes a budget to spend at La Redoute each month. All content is original, however, and opinions are my own and 100% honest.

 

I’ve wanted a pair of patchwork jeans since I saw Rachel the Hat first rocking her amazing legs in these beauties a little ago, and my yearning for a pair of classic block-heel strappy sandals has finally been fulfilled.

One tip: I found that the top of the blouse was so sheer that even a flesh-coloured bra could be seen through it, so an underwired bra is a must. One more tip(!): this hairdo was brought to you via very dirty hair… a few days unwashed and having been in a plait gives you free licence to put a ton of dry shampoo in it before backcombing – and seeing what happens.

Big hair happens – that’s what!!

Have you fulfilled any yearnings for particular pieces in the summer sales – if so, what have you bought? And do you find you have a good hair day when your hair needs a wash like I had here…? Let me know in the comments!
