I’ll hold my hands up and say I’ve hated my capsule wardrobe this summer. Everything has been weather inappropriate, non-washing machine friendly or too short. My vision of an easy, breezy casual summer wardrobe never came to fruition, however two lovely ladies who have it nailed are our very own Fern (Editor of Rock My Wedding) and Lottie (of Rock My Family fame). I defy you not to buy Fern’s shoes as they are utterly fabulous.

Lottie

The majority of my days are spent in comfy mum attire of jeans and a t-shirt but just occasionally I need something a bit, well, smarter. It may be for work or for that rare catch up with the girls but it still needs to be kiddy friendly for when I get home. I’ve been on the hunt for a denim skirt for a while and this A-line one was a bargain in the Boden sale. It’s still available so be quick. When Mrs O’Shea sent me an email stating that I needed this soft grey silk mix top I knew I had to make a purchase. It really is very lovely and looks great with a spot of denim. The V neck is super flattering and the best part is I can chuck it in the washing machine. My tootsies have spent the majority of this summer in my new favourite Saltwater sandals. They were the best buy ever. Super dooper comfy and if I get caught in a sudden English downpour it’s fine as they are waterproof. I’m very tempted to purchase another colour……

Fern

This is me fully embracing the warmer weather and the fact that I was childfree for the day! Oasis have definitely upped their game of late, and I love how easy this ditzy print bardot top is to wear. I’ve worn it out to dinner with jeans and heels, but also with shorts and flip flops to the beach. It’s fast becoming my top of the summer.

The shoes were impossible to resist as I love wearing coral tones when I’ve got a bit of colour to my skin and these jingle as you walk which makes me smile. They are comfortable to wear too (I had to run for a train in them so can vouch for that) and I think they’d look lovely with a simple white sun dress for holiday drinks.

What threads do you favour for the smart-casual look? Any new attire you’d love to tell us all about?
