What I love about this time of year (apart from the weather) are the Summer sales! I especially look forward to treating myself to something from Scotch & Soda, one of my favourite brands. Last year I bought a trouser and top co-ord in a fabulous print featuring flowers and animals. This year I bought the same style of top in a bold floral print with matching pyjama style trousers.
These trousers are a looser fit than my other ones, and the fabric is thinner too. They’re perfectly cool and wafty for a warm Summer’s day. They have a zip and hook fastener, and also a tie belt which sits under the peplum style flaps (I’m not sure what else to call them!). I wanted to play on the tropical vibe of this Scotch & Soda floral print co-ord, so I added a wide headband and flower earrings. Adding the gold wedge espadrilles and sunglasses makes it look like I’m holiday…alas no, just my back garden!
These Scotch & Soda tops combine prints that I would never think to put together. If you want to try pattern mixing but are a little apprehensive, picking a garment that does it for you is a great starting point. As much as I love jumpsuits, the advantage of a co-ord is the ability to split it up. (It also makes the bathroom situation a lot easier!) I could pair the top with green or tan trousers; likewise, I could swap this top for a green or coral one.
I wore this outfit to work (minus the headband and earrings because I have to wear headphones). The orange bag is practical for work and adds another bright colour to the mix. There isn’t actually any orange in the print of the co-ord, the flowers are more of a coral pink, but somehow it works.
With the weather being a bit unpredictable I needed an extra layer in case of a shower. This green trench coat is ideal for Summer as it’s lightweight and unlined. It matches the dark green leaves in the co-ord’s print to pull the look together. A kimono would also work well for a more casual option.

Thanks Jill! It’s actually a top and trousers, but it looks like a jumpsuit, even close up 🙂
Love the idea of co-ords over a jumpsuit. Just for the bathroom issue! Lol! These pieces are so cute for summer! You are right that the orange bag really works. As does the green trench. Adorable, Emma!

Hi Emma
You are a master of color! I love the floral jumpsuit and the earrings really emulate the flowers in your look. The teal jacket with the orange bag is striking!
