No Sweat - Amy

Asos Cracked Effect Sweatshirt, Topshop Tulle Strappy Dress, River Island Fedora via Asos, H&M Sunglasses, Primark Clutch, New Look Sandals

I feel like I have been waiting forever to share this outfit with you! But I think the impatience is due to the fact I am in love with this combo. I love putting a casual twist on dressy outfits (and a dressy twist on casual outfits for that matter) and a statement sweatshirt is the ideal, easy way to do this all year round. Chucked over the most elegant of assembles gives a slick, sports luxe feel to your look and is your practical pal during summer.

This crazy cool Asos sweatshirt was in the SALE, better than half price and is all about the texture. I love the hard, cracked fabric and structured shape against the light, pretty feel of the pastel pink tulle. I played up more contrasts with a spiked necklace and sandals but matched my fedora to my dress, and clutch to my sweatshirt.

What are your hero pieces this summer? and are they helping or hindering with the weather?

Sweatshirts are the perfect staple piece for any girl living in England! Both practical and cool, they add a casual side to a dressed up outfit and I love that. I have been wanting to find a reason to wear this amazing Choies Floral Midi since I brought it and thought what better than clash it with a grey marl sweat!

Sweatshirts were seen everywhere on catwalk shows for SS14 with unusual floral designs on them and word like 'petal' as seen by designer Christopher Kane and many more!

Going for a casual piece like a sweatshirt allows you to dress up the other areas of the outfit, a statement necklace, clean clutch and floral garland all brought the look together and I worked around the colour in my skirt. I went for my statement New Look sandals which worked well with the look. I think this is a great alternative outfit for when it's a cool summer day whilst still looking very summery and floral.

How are you wearing your sweatshirt this season?
