feeling a little bit french


(Zara pants (worn here) and trench, Sportsgirl shirt, American Apparel vintage scarf, ASOS brogues)

The first thing I am going to buy when this shopping diet finally ends (I still have a whole month to go) is accessories, accessories and more accessories! Finally I have caught onto the fact that they totally do complete an outfit. I never believed magazines before, when they constantly used to write that. I guess I was just so fixated on buying a new clothing item that I always overlooked adding a statement necklace or an awesome cuff or bracelet. The best thing about this new shopping view is the fact that adding accessories to my closet is way, way cheaper (especially everything from H&M - I can't believe how cheap H&M accessories are). This shopping diet was definitely a good idea.

This hair-style in these photos is everything I have been feeling towards my hair recently. Just chuck it up in a knot and be done with it haha. At least adding in a head scarf makes it look way more interesting (hello again accessories, so happy I found you).

Happy hump day! Less than two days until the Royal Wedding. To be honest, I am really quite excited. The atmosphere in the UK is amazing right now, and I am getting so excited to see what Kate wears. Megan and I will be watching it on Friday morning (including all the build up) while sipping on some champagne. Who doesn't love a wedding? Will you guys be watching?

Megan said...

Ahhh, so jealous that you and Meg will be watching it all together! I will probably catch recaps or a rerun. I definitely will not be up at 3am to watch it.

I totally love throwing my hair up in a ponytail and going. Best thing ever.

I love this outfit and that you added a pop of color with your scarf/headband. The royal wedding is being DVR'd at my house so thankfully, I don't have to wake up at 5 am to watch it! :)

Chantal said...

i loveee the scarf look! might have to steal that one! (im one of Megans creepy american friends who is now obsessed with you). not to worry...im an ocean away! i cannot wait to watch the royal weddding!

Marissa said...

The accessories to make the outfit (your scarf), but those blue pants are pretty awesome, too. I wish Zara pants fit me well! They have so many good ones, but they just never look right on me.

Christine @ Fash n Chips said...

I took Friday off to watch it, I've been looking forward to it for weeks - I'm such a geek :D

Anyway, this is a lovely look! I always believe less is more, so I'm not really missing any accessories here ;) and lol, I feel the same about my hair lately, I just can't be bothered to do much with it at all :)

Have fun this Friday!

Julie said...

I'm so jealous that you are in England for the wedding! I will definitely be watching it...or DVRing it...depends on how grumpy I want to be for the rest of the day at work! :)

Kristina said...

loving the color of the pants, the blue is fabulous!!

Alena said...

I love your hair and headband. Perfect!!

M. said...

hopping on a plane tomorrow so that i can watch with the two of you.



i'll probably just wander around england til i find you. a good plan i think.

also, i think i'm going to be a shameless copycat of your hairstyle tomorrow. yep, i am.

Alexandra said...

Taylor said...

I bet the UK is brimming with excitement for the wedding! I'll be watching it here in the States at 4am! :) I do love your headscarf it is so interesting.

I feel the same way about accessories! I am finally understanding that they are very constructive in an outfit. I used to think that less is more, and never add accessories - but I need to be more liberal!

Abby said...

I am going to try and get up at 4am to watch it! I am so excited! I wish I could be there!. I love your outfit! You always look so adorable!

mari b. said...

Great combination of your outfit Sophie! I definitely couldn't pull off a head wrap/band on my forehead, but you look sweet in it!
