There are always a few items of clothing that define a look for a holiday. For me this is often borne out of pure laziness and comfort: what do I feel most comfortable in and shall therefore wear 99% of the time?
This weekend it has been shorts - and a blue light linen shirt from Whistles I got a month ago in Edinburgh. I love both. A little bit casual, a little bit preppy and very very comfortable.
This is the rut I am currently stuck in and I am quite happy about it :)
So here are some lazy ensembles I put together:
For the mall
A quick trip to IBN Battuta mall for essential visits to Bath & Body Works and H&M. Outside the Blazer feels like craziness but inside an air-conditioned arctic zone it's a very good idea!
Shorts: J Crew (bought last year from Net-a-porter.com
Shirts: Whistles
Blazer: GAP
Bag: Balenciaga
PS. I find it difficult NOT to smile doing an OOTD photo.
For evening drinks...
Yep so lazy all I did was change my shorts.
These are new and I have searched H&M's in London and Dubai for these...from their Conscious Collection it is IMPOSSIBLE to get these in an 8 (US 4) so I plumped for a UK 10. Near enough and gives me room to accommodate a dinner baby :)
...and it looks like there is something for me in Forever 21 after all = a new bracelet :)

My next post is about a new pair of shorts I am OBSESSED with.
Well, lets face it, I am just obsessed with shorts.
:)
Love your outfits, especially the first one. They look comfy and casual, without looking too casual (if that makes sense). Ahh, your Chanel = love!
ReplyDeleteGlad you managed to find something in Forever 21! I love the orange against the gold. xx

ReplyDeleteLOVE that first outfit - cutee!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite posts you ever did was when you styled the same blazer differently every day for a week. I just love seeing new ways to wear favorites!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that black blazer, it actually has a shape unlike most!xx
ReplyDeleteCute outfit!! I bought these shorts a couple months ago because I thought they were so cute and I searched high and low through many H&M stores in Canada for my size before finally finding one... and yet I have since only worn it once. I think I was struggling with different ways to wear it. Thank you for the inspiration! :)
