Garden Party: Part 2 - Naomi

Topshop Secret Garden Embroidered Sheer Midi Dress, Topshop Orange Floral Wide Leg Trousers, H&M White Shirt, Anna Dello Russo for H&M Coral Collar 

The second part to our Garden Party post and another floral ensemble! I always like to play around with layering and different ways of wearing things and my sheer dress was perfect for that. Layering it over a printed wide leg trouser allowed the print to show through but also be masked by the sheer fabric. The embroidery around the collar is stunning on this dress and I felt a sleeveless shirt underneath added a smart element to the look and the statement collar necklace gave it that extra 'Naomi' factor. 

I love how some of the outfit is really minimal like the middle, yet the collar detailing and printed trouser poking out the sheer dress at the bottom gives it the detail and interest. 

Go through your wardrobe and have a play with sheer fabrics, lace, textured florals and mix them up to create your own garden party look! 

I'm Styling Crocs - Amy

Look 1 - Primark PU Biker, Topshop White Hawaiian Shirt, Topshop Stripe Shorts, Primark Sunglasses, Freedom @ Topshop Necklace, Vintage Bag via Notting Hill Market, Croc's Retro Slingback in Ultraviolet

If there is anything we love on Two Shoes, One Pair, it's stepping outside of our comfort zone. Last Thursday, we were completely honoured to be invited to Croc's office on Brick Lane where we were took part in a street style challenge with some other incredible bloggers!

The biggest challenge by far for me was there was no black boot option, ha. For the shoot, I jumped at the chance to style the Retro Slingback - a sling back, flat pump that comes in a tonne of colours, and is summery enough to be that perfect summer shoe without worrying about forgetting to paint your toe nails! They also tie in perfectly with all the 50's-inspired summer beach trends around on the high street at the moment which is where I took ideas from for my 2 looks.

The shirt from Look 1 is a Topshop one which matched perfectly with the look I was trying to go for and even better, hosted the perfect colours to go with the Ultra Violet slingbacks. Where the shape is quite oversized, I wanted a super feminine bottom half to go with them so opted for these Topshop white and blush pink striped high waisted shorts to really give me waist and curves and keep the outfit tonal. I finished off with leather jacket and accessories to harden the sweet, girly colours.

Look 2 is my perfect summer outfit. Whether I'm lucky enough to head to the beach, or just be having a wonder around Brick Lane this is most likely what I will be wearing! Must-have print.. check, co-ord..check, oversized denim.. check, shoes I can walk in all day without moaning.. check. I went for the fuchsia slingbacks for this outfit as I thought the pink looked amazing with the green and it meant I could match my lipstick to the shoes! I finished off with fun accessories for a quirky summery vibe 

What do you think of the Croc's in mine and Naomi's posts? I've certainly been won over :)

New Kids On The Block - Naomi

Topshop Neon Beanie, H&M Gold Chain, Boohoo Boutique Monochrome Jacket, Primark Varsity Top, Boutique Black Clutch, Topshop Geometric Leggings, Choies Cut Out Boots 

 Lets talk Rita Ora.... Her style has influenced girls around the world and even influenced and coming trends to take the more 'urban' approach. Starting of with the season ahead which we can all take a leaf out of Rita Ora's wardrobe in the new updated sports trend. Think bodycon, varsity/slogans, aztec/graphic prints, leopard print, red leather, bomber jackets, bralets, mesh panels and of course beanies. Mix them up for a sporty urban feel!

This is one trend I will be taking inspiration from but of course staying true to myself and adapting! I went for a monochrome look with the key varsity and geometric prints making it feel sporty and the Boohoo boutique jacket made it feel more dressed up. I am like Mr T when it comes to jewellery so found no problem piling on the gold chains! I accessorised the look with a neon beanie to add a pop of colour and black premium clutch. Lastly my brand new cut out boots from Choies which are A-mazing and great value for money. With the more casual sporty trends I like to wear a mix of casual and premium pieces to make it me! How will you be influenced by Rita Ora this season?
