’ I really like the whole indie style with chino trousers and sheer shirts and stuff, but I don't seem to be able to do it and always end up looking a bit granny-ish! Any tips on being a bit different but remaining normal-looking? ’

This trend has been around for months, but it’s something I’ve never been a part of. I don’t wear trousers, so I don’t think this trend would be right for me. But I can totally understand the look that comes with it, and I understand what needs to be worn to achieve the ‘indie’ look, as cliché as it sounds. I’ve chosen some basic Chinos from New look, which happen to come in all 3 colours. I’ve teamed them with some blouses which I would wear with them, again, if I wore trousers. I like having colour, and I like having contrasting prints but keeping it pretty chic and stylish at the same time. I personally love the first outfit, i just fall in love with the colours! I’ve chosen basic black accessories which could be worn with all 3, therefore it’s not going to break the bank if you want to buy all 3 looks! I think they’re perfect for spring and summer, and putting a hat with the outfit it gives it a totally different look. You can easily dress them up or dress them down, with changing your shoes and accessories.

Belted Twill Chinos - £24.99
Black Floppy Hat - £7.99
Bird Print Shirt - £12
Over sized Stripe Sun Hat - £7.99

  5. I love chinos and would love to wear them but I think I'm far to 'hippy' and they would probably just make me look huge! The black and white hat is so summery! xo

  15. Thank you so much for you're really sweet comment on my blog just now (teapots and time travel). You're blog is so cute, I've followed, and I'm poorly today so I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and have a good read through. I see you're from outside Leeds, I'm just outside Leeds too! Are you at Uni here? x
