OOTN: Feeling Blue

As you might have guessed by the title, this outfit is completely blue. Conveniently, colour blocking is still all of the range and I think the monochromatic blues (yep, I googled it!) really work.  

I saw Rosie from The Londoner wearing a similar blue cotton shirt with blue denim jeans and I decided I needed one in my life ASAP. I unexpectedly came across this gem in GAP, and with a 30% off discount code I knew it was pretty much fate.

The jeans are also a recent addition to my wardrobe- they are the Topshop 'Joni' Jean in 'Dark Vintage'. I purchased a black pair a while back (as shown in this post) but I ended up taking them back because the white seam was just too annoying. This pair, however, I really do love. I don't know whether they've changed the fabric but these are so much nicer. They're a stretchy denim, just like the Leigh jeans, which make them super comfy as well as being super sucky-in which is always a bonus. Definitely try before you buy because the stretch of the fabric means you can (in my experience) size down and reduce the potential for the dreaded saggy-bottom-look. They are also full length but I rolled them up.

I finished the outfit off with two pieces from my graduation outfit (which I spoke about here); the bag and the heels because I thought they went well with the colour scheme of the outfit. This is more of a dinner type outfit because of the heels, but I've worn it in the day and subbed in Converse high tops and an over the shoulder bag for a more casual look. I'm so pleased with the shirt and the jeans - they're both so versatile. I also decided to whack on some orange lippy to set the blue off. I'm wearing Revlon's ColorBurst Lipbutter in 'Tutti Frutti' which is great for a wash of orange but I've got my eye on something brighter for next time; I'm talking MAC's 'Morange'.
