A vintage summer outfit for a beach day in Devon

23 August 2017

This post contains gifted items.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done an outfit post – a mixture of anxiety, not wearing anything I was particularly inspired by, and not really wanting to have my photo taken means it kind of took a backseat. I’ve been pestered by a few people to do more fashion here on my blog, so here I am, fulfilling your wishes. I’m so selfless.

I’m down in Devon at the moment visiting my mum at her new house (see my Instagram for a few pics) and having a bit of time and space away from real life has been the best. It’s only been a few days, but being around my family, being excited about the house, and getting out of the city has already done wonders.

Yesterday, mum and I escaped the chaos of the house and headed to the coast for a few hours. It was so lovely to watch the mist blow away and the blue sky appear. We lay on one of our favourite Devon beaches, Torcross, and listened to the thunderous waves.

We came back to the house feeling much calmer.

Here’s what I wore to the beach that day.
