Aztec

Jacket: New Look, Top: Primark, Shorts: boohoo

The aztec trend has been prevalent all spring/summer and until now, it's not really been a print that has appealed to me. Until now. When the New Look sale landed, I found myself cramming item after item into my basket and this aztec jacket was among the purchases of that day. It's a lovely fit and works for both business and causal wear. It's a little too heavy for hotter days but as the weather's been up and down recently, it's a great cover up. I love navy blue too which I think is one of the reasons why this piece won me over. Had it been in an orange or green, maybe not so much.

I'm praying the warm weather comes back soon as although it's summer, having my legs out in less than 20 degrees feels a little inappropriate but I'm desperate to cling onto my Ibiza/Wales tan. It's my first proper tan in years as although I went on holiday to Australia last year, it was their winter at the time so no tan for me! People are always quite shocked when I tan, because of how pale I look. But yes I do tan, I just look pale because my make-up is now technically lighter than my face (and I'm too lazy to buy new make-up) and I colour my hair. I'm going away in just over two weeks so I'm hoping to top up my tan. It will be nice to have a full week off work and fully relax. There's no internet access at my hotel which I think will definitely be good for me to take a step back from the screen!
