Weekend-Wear

As someone for whom dressing up is a pair of shoes not sneakers, my outfits on a Saturday night tend to get a response from friends of: 'you couldn't have made a bit of an effort?'.

I've realised lately that the way to avoid changing out of the same white tshirt you wore all day for an evening out, is all in the leg and footwear. Take off your boyfriend jeans and throw on your black waxed denim jeans and a chunky heel. Or switch up the ripped skinnies for a skirt and suede thigh high boots... and they'll all be fooled into thinking you're the most sophisticated of beings. 

Wearing: Jacket H&M, Tshirt Gap, Skirt Zadig et Voltaire, Boots Zara (last season, find on ebay here). Necklaces Dana Levy and Les Nereides.

I'm a girl who likes her some stripes, and some days you just gotta do it all at once.

The Monki tshirt and Monki jacket are two of my favourite pieces at the moment, and these Pepe Jeans trousers fit like a dream.

A pair of Mother of Pearl sneakers and Micky Mouse shades and I'm ready to rock ze weekend.

On a Friday in March...

Im currently on a fashion shoot in Namibia, staying at a lodge in the middle of the desert that took three planes and 24 hours to get to - hence the lack of posts this week!

Follow me on Instagram @rachelingram14 to see what I'm up to (when I can get wifi).

As for today, Im wearing an Acne tshirt, James Perse shorts with a Gap shirt round the waist. And my trusty birkenstocks from ASOS which haven't left my feet all shoot.

Whata-ya-got H&M?

IT'S SHOPPING SUNDAY! 

And time for me to take on a new shop and see what they have in store for us.

So, today, H&M the high fashion high street shop which even has it's own show at PARIS FASHION WEEK is my shopping target... lets see how I got on!

First up the knit'n'shorts combo. I love a knit and shorts but am always confused as to which season one is meant to wear this? If it's cold enough for that knit, it's sure as hell too cold to wear those shorts.

ANYWAY I digress, These shorts are a WINNER on all accounts. Bottle green, suede, boxing shorts (size 12, £59.99) - I mean do I even need to say anything else? Well, apart from the fact that I liked them a size bigger to feel boxier. They are a true gem of a high street find and will probably disappear off the racks pretty quick. so GO!

The jumper (size 8, £39.99) was a perfect knit, not too tight on the neck, not the softest of materials but at least it wasn't itchy.... 

I then refused to take the shorts off ever again (they came home with me) so threw this shirt (size 10, £29.99) and bomber (size 10, £29.99) on for another way to wear them.  

Oh AND this coat. Which was also a total winner. This denim, oversized trench (size 10, £59.99) which looks totally ACNE and super cool with a rolled up sleeve, would go with absolutely everything in your wardrobe.

Once I'd managed to pry the suede shorts from my nether-regions I threw on this amazing embellished sweatshirt (size 10, £39.99) with pinstripe wool trousers (size 8, £34.99) which came up pretty high waisted - too high for my comfort factor, but fit pretty well on the leg. They are a good cropped length so would be perfect with a pair of brogues or slippers once 'tis ankle bearing season again. 

So, curve ball time, the mid length, strange old auntie dress (size 10, £29.99). This one confused me so much on the hanger I had to have a go. I'm not sure I can pull it off - feel free to let me know - but I felt it had to go with a pair of trainers (size 39, totally true to size, £24.99) to have any sort of chance of being cool and modern. 

And finally, this mid-blue number (size 10, £39.99) which is a little more on the casual wedding side and would look totally marvellous styled up for the day with a cute rollneck or silk tshirt underneath. VERSATILE HEY?
