Black and White Skater Dress

*Skater Dress - Fashion Union (Click here to view)
Shirt - Sparkle & Fade
Belt - Asos
Necklace - BeeJewels
Shoes - Office

As you have probably picked up from my other outfit posts, monochrome is my favourite trend this season, which is what drew me to the scratchy print of this black and white dress from Fashion Union. The skater skirt cut is very flattering to all figures - giving the appearance of slimmer pins - and the black pattern is embossed in a slightly felt material, adding texture to this dress. This monochrome dress is only £20 and you can buy it by clicking here.

I styled with my open back Sparkle and Fade for it's sheer detailing - another trend for SS13 - and toughened up the girly skater dress style with a multi-cross necklace and cross embellished belt. I also couldn't resist taking some pictures with Brody, who for once was  very good boy for the cameras!

Street Style Black & White Stripes

*Oversized Monochrome Stripe Shirt - Chicnova (click here to view)

Crop Top - Missguided

Bracelets - Tiffany & Co & Pandora

*Necklace - She Inside

*Disco Leggings - Karma

Wedge Trainers - Next

This is what I wore on Wednesday evening for the South Beach Swimwear event in Manchester, on which I will be posting some pics from the night over this weekend. Also, a little thank you to the gorgeous Megan from Whats New Pussy Catt for taking some shots for me, if you haven't already you need to check out her amazing blog!

I am loving the amount of shirts available at the moment, especially over-sized styles that can cover your unforgiving love handles when wearing a pair of tight disco pants. My oversized black and white striped shirt with pockets is from Chicnova - available here - and it looks like a doppelganger of the oversized monochrome pocket shirt in Zara that is no longer available online: result! 

The lowered hemline at the back of this oversized black and white striped shirt gives it a 'boyfriend-esq' vibe and makes it perfect for teaming with leggings or pairing over a pair of denim shorts, for a laid back Summer vibe. SS13 is all about monochrome and getting stripey so this shirt will last you from summer through to styling up with some edgy leather and layering with knits in the winter.
