Party in the back

DSC_5722

fishtail tee – TopShop c/o Silverburn
skinny pant – H&M (last worn here)
hi tops – River Island  (last worn here)
sunglasses – Marks & Spencer
tribute bracelet – Stella and Dot
bangle – Biba, peach bracelet (part of set) – H&M
fizzball clutch – Kurt Geiger
parma violet nail polish – TopShop 

lead – Ancol
coat – model’s own*

It seems right now I am leaning towards cleaner pieces with interesting back detail – this TopShop number is the perfect example – business in front, party in the back.  I’m not kidding, if it doesn’t have a drop hem then I’m tucking in the front and leaving out the back!

It was a tough choice at the Silverburn fashion weekend but in the end this piece won out for me because of the cut and softest pink colour.  I’d really love to pair it with tailored shorts and heels but for a casual evening drink I went with my trusted black skinnies and wedge high tops (total comfort winner).

Hope you all had a great Jubilee holiday!  Hooray for a 3 day work week… and the Queen too obvs!

*Mr K appears to be doing the hokey cokey, perhaps a diamond celebration?

    Love your look!! The blouse is amazing and I like that you matched it with a black bra!

      thanks so much nina – I didn’t even think about the bra but I guess because the top is a little big you do catch flashes of it and it’s my luck that I matched with my bottom half! The top is a size too big but I loved it so much I got it anyway!

    You are an urban fairy with this gorgeous tunic like top! The back is so dreamy and I love how you’ve neutralized its lux effect with the addition of the sneaker wedges! Simply stunning!

    • Wendy Posted 6 Jun at 2:20 pm

      so glad you like it eleni – I think you’re right, the sneakers stop it from seeming too dressy for this look.
      P.S. Have you caved and bought some sneakers yet?!

    The top is incredible — I actually can’t believe it is from Topshop.

    That is why I enjoy seeing new sites like yours: I’m constantly inspired.

    I’m adding you to my new blogs to follow for further inspiration. I’m so thankful to have come across your blog!

      I’m so glad! I really though topshop was just for students until my recent visit.x

    hey sweets.. stumbled across your blog. totally loving you style and I’m obsessed with your kicks. i’ve been looking for a pair a la isabel marant, but that’s definitely a pretty penny to be spending. i love this river island alternative and at a more affordable price point too! are they comfy?

    swing by my blog if you get a chance! hope you’re having a great day.

    xx Love & Aloha

    • Wendy Posted 7 Jun at 5:48 pm

      hey sharon – yes they are super comfy but my only bug bear is that they are not real leather :( real suede bits but not the leather – topshop do a pair at £48 though and I think they are real leather all over. you should def get some – comfiest heels I own!x

  14. School Gate Style Posted 7 Jun at 4:04 pm

    Love that top – is it wearable the other way round ? And slowly but surely, I’m coming round to wedge trainers thanks to you. Not there yet…but getting there! lol Avrilx

    • Wendy Posted 7 Jun at 5:51 pm

      I don’t know – I haven’t tried it but I will now (if it works I’m sure you’ll see it soon enough on here!).

      p.s. just cave on the sneakers and get some – you won’t look back!x

  15. alicia Posted 8 Jun at 7:44 am

    I’m really digging the mullet top. It’s got a perfect fit, too.

    • Wendy Posted 8 Jun at 8:46 am

      me too! really can’t get enough of them!x
