Check Dress, £32, Topshop; Grey Dress, £29, Topshop; Hat, £25, Topshop; Culottes, £30, River Island.
We're not all Internet shoppers and with MIB this often means that the internet is your safest bet with a multitude of indies opting to trade online. So I perused Topshop and River Island this weekend to find tran-seasonal pieces - Made in Britain - and in store now. I must stress, that although I found these items to be MIB, it may very well be that they manufacture the same item simultaneously in factories globally, SO, always check the label.
Every item is under £35, proving you can afford to buy British - hurrah.
Check is still huge for s/s this oversized jersey number is perfect for lazy Sunday brunches. Team with thick tights, and a leather jacket for now and dress up come summer with a great big floppy hat and tan ankle boots.
This grey midi body con, maybe not look particularly wow, but this simple dress can be worn to work, dressed down at the weekend or perfect base for partying! Wear with simple chocker and simple block heels to work. For a casual weekend look wear with this sheer crop top, a beanie and your favourite NBs. And finally, wear glammed up to nines with simple courts, delicate necklaces and a statement clutch, let your hair and lips do the talking.
I'm not a hat person, I have an unusually large head which vitos me out of pretty much every hat ever. But since hats are everywhere and in particular Liv from What Olivia Did has been rocking them, I can't help but want one and this one, thankfully, fits! And even more to my surprise, it suits!
Finally, the culotte, perhaps the most awkward trend to translate from catwalk to highstreet. But seeing is believing, I tried on these beauts from River Island and they were a dream. In reality, I won't be wearing the free belt, but the cut and fit of the culottes would be perfect workwear sitting just on the knee. Wear them with tights now and embrace bare legs come April time.
