A second-hand outfit for a summer picnic

23 April 2014

This blog contains gifted items.

Apart from the April showers/downpours we’ve had this week, the weather has been lovely lately. It’d quite frankly be rude not to go up to Ashton Court and have a picnic and play on the fallen trees.

Sunshine means I want to listen to fun & noisy girl-fronted music, like Be Your Own Pet, and act like a little kid. I had so much fun climbing the fallen tree that I didn’t even mind all the stings from the nettles..

Also, look at my sandals! Yeah, they’re kind of ugly, but look how shiny they are. They’ve been on my Pinterest wishlist for months and they’re finally mine.

• Brit-Stitch backpack (gifted)
• charity shop blanket & skirt & apple top
• H&M cardigan
• Zara sandals
