BLOSSOM M SOMBA: Summer Essentials

Wednesday, 2 July 2014

This Friday I'm going to a beach party with a couple of friends and I need an outfit!

I had a vision of me wearing baggy shorts and a bikini top, I was even considering actually ordering a pair.

But what do I do? I take a pair of tracksuit bottoms and make them into shorts. I've had these tracksuit bottoms and their matching jacket since I was about 12. About 3 years I accidentally got red paint on them and I haven't worn them since. It's a mens tracksuit and extremely big on me so they come up high waisted. I didn't do anything technical or hard, I only used a pair of scissors and an iron to make sure the bottom stays folded.

I really love them and I know I'll definitely be wearing them a lot over summer, some of these pictures were taken on my iPhone so sorry about the quality.

Before throwing your trousers or tracksuit bottoms out why not try make them into shorts.

Summer is quickly approaching and I'm pretty sure many of you have been getting your summer wardrobes ready, I definitely have! I've come up with a few of my summer essentials which I will definitely be reaching for several times during the summer.

The Perfect Bag

In the summer I tend to not wear items of clothing that have pockets, which results in my bag pretty full. I like my bag to be quite bag that way if I've gone shopping I can fit all of my new buys in my bag, I really do hate walking round with loads of shopping bags. Carrying loads of shopping bags on London transport is the worst!

A Lightweight Dress

I HATE wearing tight stuff in the summer, a cute little light dress I feel is perfect for the summer weather.

Sandals

All of my friends will tell you I hate feet and I hate sandals. Although I'm really liking these caged sandals because they are great for the summer and don't expose your whole foot. So if your just like me I'd suggest you invest in a pair of these.

Sunglasses

I only own two pairs of sunglasses and they are both round shaped, I feel they are the perfect shape for my face. They don't make my nose stand out as much as other shapes do!

Smell GOOD

Its summer which means heat which leads to sweating which can sometimes lead to not smelling to cute. Get your self a fragrance whether it be a perfume or a lotion.
