It’s hard to believe we’re already more than halfway through July, the Summer is flying by. We’ve had some glorious weather here in the UK, which has given me the opportunity to wear my Zara sale bargains. I’d had my eye on this skirt for a while, and almost bought it pre-sale, but I chose the skirt with sleeves instead. Well, all good things come to those who wait, and if you can hold out for the sales it’s definitely worth it. I rarely pay full price for clothes – when there are so many offers and sales on it’d be daft to. The only exception is if I really want it and can’t risk it being sold out.
I’m mixing old with new in this outfit because I’ve had the top for years. In fact it’s probably as old as the red top I wore with my khaki trousers and jacket a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes hoarding pays off! The red one shoulder top and gingham floral skirt is a perfect pairing of old and new. It’s also a very cool and light outfit for warm summer days. I’m a big fan of cold shoulder and one shoulder tops because they highlight one of the most defined parts of the body. If you’re not comfortable with your cleavage on show, exposing the shoulders is a more subtle alternative.
The red suede court shoes with the striped bow clips add a dressier touch for evenings and special occasions, but I’d swap these for wedge sandals if I was going to be doing a lot of walking. I love being able to change the look of my shoes with different clips – it’s a great trick for getting more wear out of your shoes. I’ve also worn these shoes with pearl clips to go with my saucy postcard dress.
I picked up on the pale blue in the skirt by adding a blue flower ring, bracelet and bag. I bought the ring from a little shop in Brittany a few years ago. I’ll be going back there soon so I’m hoping to pick up another pretty souvenir 🙂

This suits you so much Emma, Love the skirt, but tend not to go for one shoulder tops. What a fab idea – shoe clips!

What a pretty skirt. I love the print and your one shoulder top with it. You look great in red! Beautifully Candid
Terrific outfit Emma – I didn’t realise the shoes had clips. I was thinking “how did she manage to find a pair that work so perfectly with the skirt?” Now we know!
I love your one-shoulder top and that skirt. It is such a beautiful look!

I love this outfit Emma and would wear it in a heartbeat! I am kicking myself for not buying that skirt too! I saw it and the shirtdress and wait too long, then my size is gone! Ah, well it looks so good with that sexy little red top and the shoe clips are so neat! They don’t rub up against your toes or pinch anywhere?
Have a great week!

What a fun look! That red top looks amazing on you and mixes wonderfully with your skirt. The shoe clips are a great way to extend your shoe wardrobe, too. 🙂
I cannot believe Summer is half-way over either. Love your combo of old and new. That skirt is stunning and I love the shoes. I don’t know where to look at first in this outfit because I love everything – old and new. Zara always has awesome pieces. I regret not buying some cute bow clips I saw yesterday which would make great clips for my shoes. Love the striped ones on your shoes. You are an A+ in this!
I love the play of pattern mixed with floral on that summer skirt. Great choice on the top, bravo!
