denim & dots




shirt - vintage, shorts & clog wedge shoes - topshop

busted out some topshop clog-ish wedge shoes i got last summer. i barely wore them then, but they seem to go with more of the clothes i have now. they're surprisingly difficult to walk in, it's like walking with bricks strapped to your feet, but they're very comfortable.

just threw this outfit together quickly, which is something i don't do often - i tend to really plan my outfits, and even then suffer from 'would it look better with this instead' or 'maybe i shouldn't wear this with that' etc. i'm definitely prone to overthinking my outfits. i wish i could be more effortless with my dressing... sadly that's just one more reason why i'll never be alexa chung!

  1. None of us will ever be Alexa Chung, it's a sad fact of life!
    However, you have just increased my desire little more to buy a denim shirt...

  7. I love this outfit, you're passing on your polka dot love because now I can't stop thinking about buying something polka dot.
    I have these shoes and I agree they are impossible to walk in!

  23. I have to plan outfits too, I would be jeans and t-shirts all the time if I didn't. Totally agree about the clog sandals dilemma, so comfy but bizarra to walk in!
