six tops for a british summer.

The british summer is a special time. Sometimes its hot, sometimes its not but most of the time it just rains. Splendid. There are the obvious choice of strappy's, vests and crop tops. So i'm not going to waste my time on those. These tops are practical, versatile and perfect for the (slightly) warmer months.

First of all we have this little beauty. summer is all about layering. thin tops are a must. this long sleeve stripy number from zara is slightly sheer and very breathable. this teamed with some cut off Levi's, loverly.

This is about as smart as it gets folk, so don't get too excited. i love the 3D rose detail on this top. it is completely see through, but looks great with a bikini or pretty cami underneath. This can be worn day or night. if your a little bit more adventurous then me, it could look exciting with just a black bra underneath. ohhh ey. she was from river island in the sale a couple years ago. 

Last christmas, when i was a poor poor student i remember seeing this top and thinking, actually i would rather not eat and own this top then spend my money on food. it was love at first site (pathetic i know). it was £17.99 from zara. i love the print. its slightly cropped. a pretty top like this draws attention away from pasty pins at the beginning of summer. guilty. 

Ohhhh this is one of the softest tops you'll ever touch. its from urban outfitters fairly recently. as you may have guessed i am slightly obsessed with stripes. if you'd like a lookbook on how i style stripes please comment :) This top is loose and airy, again, really pretty with denim shorts!

It wouldn't be much of a collection without a denim shirt. as i said earlier, layering is key. cami - demin shirt- thin jumper - light jacket = boom, ready for anything, come rain or shine. i love this oversized option from topshop. a denim shirt is essential in any wardrobe. the options are endless. 

Last, but by no means least, this beautiful v neck is from zara, very recently. I am so in love with this top. its the perfect v neck. i promise you. its striped. and its not bloody cropped. what more could a girl ask for. this top would be perfect any time of the year! 

peace.
