Crazy Buys

Boom!

I've only gone and done it....and now I'm terrified!

Seriously - I never EVER thought I would wear dungarees, but I've admired so many bloggers wearing their long and short dungarees and looking so effortlessly chic and I just want a piece of this action!

What are the chances of me pulling this look off? At 42 and 5'2 and a bit am I going to look utterly ridiculous? I've sized up - fitted may make me look like a pastey Minion. I've not broken the news to Hubby yet - he'll roll around the floor laughing when I do.

So here are my choice - Topshop Black Denim Dungaree Shorts....They are due any day. I'll keep you posted and if all goes to plan, I may even dare to share a picture - please don't hold your breath!


Dungaree Shorts
£38 - Topshop


I've also ordered these for my eldest from the new Boden season. How adorable is the lining on the back? I am much more confident she'll be able to pull off the look, and I pinky promise I will not wear them at the same time she does (see - I'm even starting to talk like a teenager....)


Dungaree Shorts
£28.80 - Boden


Shoeporn

Whilst mentally debating the pros and cons of the Topshop dungarees, a couple of items made their way onto my wishlist. I really don't need anymore Summer shoes, but I think these green suede espadrilles are awesome - such a great shade of green, and with the on-trend angle ties (another trend I'm yet to embrace - will they make my ankles look fat?). If you've got a Summer shoe gap in your wardrobe - bag a pair now!


Kingfisher Espadrilles
£55 - Topshop


Like these too - would add interest to any outfit....



Kangeroo Espadrilles
£45 - Topshop


And whilst we're talking shoes - HI-5 for these that have caught my eye.....coincidentally called Hi-FIVE Wedges....


Hi-Five Wedges
£30 - Topshop


Arm Candy

I'm a sucker for a slouchy shopper style bag - these happen to be both shopper and slouchy....


Snake Effect Suede Shopper
£38 - Topshop


Slouchy Leather Shoulder Bag
£65 - Topshop


Not for me - but what a cool, crazy bag! Maybe 25 years ago....with a pair of dungarees...
