How to dress up casual chic for a summer day out

Hey everyone! Black and white is the most classic and the chicest combos of all time and in the summer months wearing more white with hints of black is better as a lighter colour palette does not absorb the heat when out in the sun for fun activities during summer and hence more soothing. 

  

I wore this outfit for a sunny day excursion to Hitchin lavender fields. I was feeling white against all the lavender in the back drop and  without doubt  comfy,  my cotton graphic T and pineapple printed espadrille shoes from RAD.CO  seemed perfect for the weather and the occasion so went with those and  chose this mermaid detail pencil skirt because it has the softest cotton jersey fabric, super duper comfy and i love the contrast of a casual graphic t with a formal silhouette. The skirt and the classic watch make this casual outfit a lot more interesting #casualchic #effortless.

Backpacks are so much better than handbags when u have to be out and moving, u can throw in all the stuff and still be handsfree, such a relief. 

When wearing monochrome in the summer try to add fun and pops of color with lips or bag or shoes, in this case i did with my pineapple print bright blue espadrille shoes and orangey red lips.

The lavender fields were beautiful to say the least and so so photogenic. I had so much fun and literally laughed to the point of crying with my friends Ayesha,  Zahra , Naomi , Zonal  and  multi talented Sahar  who took these pictures. Check her blog you'll know.

Totally digging the  graphic Ts, sweatshirts and fun espadrille  collection on RAD.CO. They both look and feel fun and comfy. With the code 'CHICHI20' you can get a 20% discount on the entire site also on the ADELE x RAD and NEKFEU x RAD collection.
