Spring in Monochrome

06th April 2016
It’s hardly groundbreaking but the other day, spurred on by the slightly warmer weather I discarded my more standard weekend wear of jeans and a knit for something a bit more “daring” if you will- my beloved culotte playsuit from New Look layered up with a simple black tee and my trusty black leather ankle boots.

Playsuit: New Look (similar) | Ribbed tee: New Look (here) | Boots c/o Long Tall Sally

I picked this playsuit up last year in a Summer sale for something silly like £10. It was an impulse purchase and to be honest one I thought I’d wear once and then forget all about. That was almost the case until I re-discovered it when I moved out in January. Since then it’s been sat in my wardrobe waiting for me to brave it and wear it again and eventually I have and it’s reminded me just how much I love this piece.

I’m now trying to psych myself up for the mammoth task of packing away my “winter wardrobe” and schlepping it back to my parents’ house and swapping it for my “summer” selection. I’m a bit afraid to commit too soon as the weather is so changeable but at the same time I’m utterly sick of everything I’ve been wearing lately that I feel a change will do me good. I’m not sure I’ll feel any better about what awaits me in the warm weather collection either to be honest, I’m a bit jaded with everything I own as nothing currently fits as it should and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m on a self imposed clothes buying ban until I’m in a healthier place.

Oops, I went off on a ranting tangent again didn’t I? It’s only a matter of time before I cave in and buy a few new wardrobe additions I’m sure…where have you been loving lately and have you re-found any hidden gems tucked away in your wardrobe?

    I can’t wait to swap over my summer / winter clothes but I am never quite sure when to go for it. Too early and I end up freezing, too late and I miss the good weather. Loving the playsuit!

    This looks great layered over a tee and I bet it’d look great on even colder days over a long sleeved polo neck too. I’m feeling a little bit the same too and haven’t been shopping for ages cos I feel like I’d just buy stuff I won’t ever wear or don’t really want to wear. Hope you feel in a healthier place soon 🙂 xx
