OOTD - Holiday Style

I am and always have been one who chooses comfort over fashion. I also rarely take pride in my appearance. This explains why when deciding what to wear each day 9 times out of 10 I; open my t-shirt drawer, pick the top t-shirt up, throw it on, finishing the look with some jeggings. This all changes if I’m going out for the evening or clubbing, then I take hours to get ready (typical girl sometimes).

Another time I enjoy making an effort is during the evenings of my summer holidays. I guess it’s the freedom, the animosity. I can explore different styles, without pre-conceptions of what I normally wear, or what suits my personality or what style is expected from me. If it works then brilliant I can embrace it, if not make sure all photographical evidence is erased and pretend it never happened.

Going on a friend holiday to Spain with 4 friends who are all very fashion conscious left me with dread, real nerves about what clothes to take on holiday. I didn't want to look untended in photos against my friends, but at the same time I wanted to make sure what I wore was me and not faked. 

Additionally my lack of funds due to having lived the student life heavily for 3 years prior to this holiday meant the opportunity to expand my wardrobe was limited. This said, I think I brought more than I realised (along with mums help, I know you read this, thanks).

Outfit número uno:

Top: New Look, Shorts: New Look, Wedges: New Look
This was my favourite outfit of the holiday. Plain shorts with a plain lace top complimented each other. This also suited my figure; baggy while also giving a slimmer appearance. 

Outfit número dos:
Dress: New Look, Wedges: New Look
This dress needs to be worn with leggings as not discreet when stretching and bending. Im glad I found this out before we headed to the local nightclub!

Outfit número tres:
Dress: New Look, Shoes: Tesco
One of my favourite dresses I already owned. Weather dependant this can also look good without the leggings. 

Outfit número cuatro:
Dress: New Look, Shoes: Tesco
Not the greatest of lighting, however a nice summer dress for a decent price of £10 :)

Outfit número cinco:
Top: New Look, Shorts: New Look, Shoes: Tesco
The same shorts as in outfit 1, however with a more casual daytime vest top. 

What do you think, from an outsiders perspective, do these suit me? What outfits have you been loving this holiday season?
