I've been after a blue shirt for a while now, Topshop have just started selling one that I quite liked, but after trying on it looked like a pajama top on me, which wasn't exactly the look I was going for! So I kept looking and eventually came across this shirt in the work & suit section of H&M. I  love the striped fabric and it was the colour that I was after. I tried on the size 8 at first but it was to 'business style' and looked like I was going to work. So I decided to try the size 12 to get the little oversized look and would enable me to roll the sleeves up to make the shirt more casual. They also have this shirt in a number of different colours like pink, black, lilac and baby blue. I might have to invest when i get paid! 

I paired this outfit with the pink joni jeans that feature in my first blog post as I liked the contrasting colours, as it makes the shirt stand out a little more and makes the outfit look more casual. I'm loving white accessories at the moment especially my River Island white bag which is a perfect size for going out as there is enough room for the essentials like a purse, makeup, perfume etc. I once again wore my Olivia Burton watch because it went perfectly with the outfit and the face of the watch is very classic and sophisticated.
