| cute details |
This week I ventured past the cute bags from
last week's Fitting Room Focus and into the floral, peachy goodness
Dorothy Perkins had to offer in the form of clothing.

| jumper - £18, shirt - £22, skirt - £20 |
Before I start, what's with the chewing gum all over the floor? Gross.
First of all I threw on this very cute pastel lilac jumper. This is an ideal jumper with lovely texturing and an ice cream sweet colour. I think the colours of the jumper and shirt go together really well - the pale against a bright pop. The skirt caught my eye because I love daisies, but up close this print doesn't look as nice to me as it does far away - the edges of the daisies are a bit too "jittery photoshop cutout" seeming. Also, the material felt like it would make me sweat. A bit of a disappointment. However I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to long skirts because they can restrict movement and disappear my legs (possibly my favourite body part), neither of which are ideal.

| shorts - £16 |
I grabbed this pair of shorts because they reminded me of camping, and I sure do love running into the Scottish sea in an effort to swim away from all the warmth in the world and eating tofu under a tarpaulin which is being viciously attacked by a torrent of rain. I love their colour and detailing, but I think this length makes me look a gnome, which I'm not overly keen on. Yes, it is me who loves short shorts. I do like these shorts though (they are more ME than the daisy skirt) and they had a great selection of shorts like this in canvas-y navy blue, a soft grey, and a light-blue striped pair. Enough to just about satisfy my voracious appetite for shorts.

| top - £18 |
Next I switched to another floral with this top. It has slightly quilted detailing and has something of a country club vibe with it's slight silkiness, which manages not to overpower the casualness of it, making it potentially quite versatile.

| jacket - £28 |
The top fits well with a blazer, but perhaps not the shorts. The shorts definitely do best accompanying a cute jumper and spotty socks. "Business shorts" is a tough look to achieve. I look more like a garden centre Guy Fieri with Waitrose and elfin overtones. Tune in later for more concentrated shorts & socks combo considerations.
