Summer Simplicity: Flowers vs Diamonds

Hi everybody!

"I would rather wear flowers around my head than diamonds around my neck"

I absolutely love this quote and I tend to live by it everyday. In fact, I have a poster of this quote hung above my bed and I remember buying from those little art shops in one Christmas market during the winter of '09 if I am not mistaken. I think this quote has a deeper meaning behind it especially in the summer where people tend to appreciate the natural things in life and everyone forgets about the materialistics for a little while. If a dress is £25 or £2500, a dress is still just a dress until you bring it to life with accessories. My style is very casual and my staples are blacks and whites. About 70% of my wardrobe is filled with monochrome coloured pieces of clothing therefore I rely a lot on accessories to bring some vibrance to my outfits . In the summer, there is no time for black and whites, its all about the beach blonde hair, the neon swimsuits, the bejewelled sandals and the multi-coloured manicures. I try to be more adventurous during this time of the year and go slightly out of my comfort zone and incorporate more vibrant pieces that are maybe just a little controversial and brightly eye-catching. The majority of that effort goes towards accessories as clothing wise, I am mainly a solid coloured crop top and denim shorts kind of girl. However, this blog series is calles Summer Simplicity, and it is all about the simple things about the summer so I picked out some quite fun, easy to put on, but still lovely pieces of accessories including necklaces, handbags and hair ties.
