Sunny Sunday: Picnic and OOTD

Last Sunday, it turned out to be a really nice, sunny day (which is completely to be expected in the North East of England!) so Ant and I decided to take an obscene amount of pork pies and root vegetable crisps down to Saltwell Park near Gateshead and have a little picnic. We sat in the part next to Saltwell Towers, which I presume used to be a stately home, but now it houses the café and some conference rooms. After enjoying our food and soaking up some of the English sun, we explored the park a little bit. I've never been there, but I thought it was beautiful, especially the lake. The winding, flower-lined paths and streams reminded me of Middle Earth (I'm a massive Lord of the Rings fan), which I really appreciated. I've always wanted to be an elf.

Anyway, I thought I'd share with you the outfit that I put together for that day. I had recently bought some Mom jeans, which I had been umm-ing and ahh-ing about for about a year, but I am so glad that I bought them. As with many trends, especially those that aren't completely mainstream, I worried that I wasn't slim enough to wear Mom jeans, but they are actually super flattering and make a really nice change from skinny jeans. They are very high waisted, so you don't have to worry about showing off too much midriff if you fancy wearing a crop top with them, but because they aren't skin tight, you don't have to worry about getting weird lumps from tucking in your shirt. I think they are just the perfect summer jeans, especially because they are quite a light blue and just look really laid back and cool. I wore these with a camisole from H&M, which is super girly and frilly, I can't find it on their website, but this is similar. On top of my cami, I wore my favourite kimono from New Look, which is just gorgeous and floaty and adds some texture to the outfit. This is definitely still in store, but I can't find it online, but this is very similar. You can't see them in the photo, but I wore these awesome sandals on my feet. They are so comfy, and just look great with everything!

I've actually gone a bit mad lately and I finally have a tripod, so expect a lot more outfit posts from me in the future. I'm really experimenting with my style at the moment, so I really want to share my endeavours with you! Let me know if there's anything you want to see.
