The Colours of Summer: Yellow Ruffle Blouse, Blue Chinos, Oversized 70s Sunglasses

This is a very simple outfit in perfect summer colours: A deep sunshine yellow ruffle blouse, blue chinos like the sky and white block heel shoes like the clouds. How sickly sweet, but it’s true, you know…?!

It’s a smart outfit – I’d had my eye on the yellow ruffled blouse from Oasis for aaaaaages. I’d done that thing where you sign up for email notifications when it comes into stock and got it straight away with the pale pink blazer and matching trousers I wore on Monday (also Oasis). How fantastic is that? I love that about the internet and modern technology. Not so good for your bank balance though 😉

DOUBLING UP AS A ZIP-OFF CLUTCH, IT’S AN INGENIOUS PIECE OF DESIGN THAT COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY A WOMAN (A VERY SMART AND CLEVER WOMAN).

The gorgeous clutch is part of my Jennifer Hamley England Model KT Workbag which I reviewed and gushed about as well on Monday’s post. Designed for your iPad but doubling up as a zip-off clutch, it’s an ingenious piece of design that could only have been designed by a woman (a very clever woman). Beautiful and practical.
