Beside the Sea-Side

My second outfit post by the sea and my first outfit post since December is here! And the sea was freezing! But what can I say? Had some nice ice-cream and took some nice photos so I can't complain. Anyway, this is a sort of 'accidental post', because I didn't have anything planned for today. I mean, the outfit is simple to say the least. I've just missed outfit posts, I used to have so so many on one page, and it's nice when one just happens itself! Let me finally stop rambling so you can actually read this.

Top - Zara

Shorts - H&M

Shoes - Birkenstocks

Sunglasses - Quay

The sudden change of weather has confused me slightly (I'm in South Africa by the way). You see, when I left England we were in that awkward stage of not knowing what the weather was. You thought in the morning, 'Ooh what a lovely day,' and then walked out of the house in a summer dress. After about 5 minutes when you're shivering at the bus stand you regret the decision to leave the house. But, I've soldiered on and finally got somewhere I can freely wear shorts and not end up with blue legs.

I've been loving these shorts recently. I went through a bit of a phase with suede (exhibit A), but never got round to buying suede shorts or a skirt, which is pretty silly because I think that's what I wanted the most. So when I saw these in H&M for £7 I had to have them. They fit like a dream, and go with literally everything. Blouse? Gotcha. T-shirt? Gotcha. Sweatshirt? Gotcha.

In terms of tops (bit of sneaky alliteration for you there), I am obsessed with this one from good ol Zara. I never usually gravitate towards ringer tees, especially with quotes or logos on the front. I generally think they're a bit mainstream, and also just not very nice to look at. But this one. This one is a different story. Can we first just talk about the grrroooovyy font? I've been loving 70's-esque fonts. You might have seen them make an appearance in my 'a new  style aesthetic' post. All in all, I very much like the red detailing and the fonts on this top, and I'll be paying more attention to ringer tees now!
