half the year just passed me by

Top: Asda (last year)
Jeans/Leggings: Uniqlo
Shoes: Bertie @ Sarenza
Uniqlo has become my new online shopping obsession- I’ve placed a couple of orders in the last month during my mission to stock up on basics. One of those purchases were these jeans/leggings- so far out of my comfort zone they may as well be residing in Australia and yet oddly, I like them. Perhaps it was the £14.90 price tag, perhaps it is the fact they are so damn comfortable, or maybe it’s simply that I am becoming more confident in my own skin. Either way I’ll be investing in more pairs of these at some point, they do so many colours and prints that it’s near impossible to choose. 
My best Uniqlo buys however have to be their basic v-neck tees; I first bought some years ago and they wash and wear so well that I didn’t really need replace them. I’m also a fan of their collaborations with designers and companies, from Cath Kidston to Pixar there are fun, good quality and affordable designs for all, even the boy has benefited with a Monsters University tee.
Anyway, I digress as this post isn’t about Uniqlo (and I’m not being paid to talk about them I swear) it’s just a dull outfit post showing what I currently live in when slobbing around the house, time spent doing which is rare these days. It’s been a blissfully chilled out (boiling hot) weekend spent with the boy and one of my Aunts and cousins (+ two very young babies) and I’m ready for another week although the rate they are passing is a little disconcerting. I’ll be off to Spain in a few weeks, for 13 days this time- I cannot wait.
Well,
I hope everyone else had a good weekend, was it the promised heat wave where you were?

  1. I have not really paid enough attention to Uniqlo before, I’m after some of their heattech stuff for this winter though!

  2. dan

    love that top, so cute! xx

  3. Glad to hear you’ve had a relaxed weekend.
    I was tempted by some dungarees on the Uniqlo site, but haven’t placed an order because I’d not had any experience of the site before..

  4. You look so pretty and relaxed in this outfit 🙂 I love the top, Asda does have some real gems sometimes! The weather was beautiful this weekend, still is where I am and hopefully where you are too! The weeks are going by so quick it’s scary!! I never bought from Uniqlo until they had the Orla Kiely collaboration, but the quality is so good! I got a long sleeved top, a long sleeved thermal top and a tunic dress type thing, and I’m always reaching for the long sleeved tops to layer up as they are so versatile xx

  5. Yay for Uniqlo haha! I love their stuff (I know I sound biased because I work there but I genuinely do haha) xxx

  6. I feel like crying every time I see you wearing this top! I bought the same one and spilled oil on it during my one and only wear. I never got to really appreciate it! *sob*
