And welcome to the third part of Summer Simplicity. Last week, I took a very simple approach and went for a casual style of clothing for this summer. However, we all have our relaxed days where we sit around enjoying the company of each other or just the company of the burning summer sun, and we have our days to dress up a little and put on some cute and girly outfits. My favourite "dressed up outfit" by far is definitely playsuits. Playsuits are really making a trend recently and almost all highstreet and online stores are carrying new arrivals of different styles of playsuits varying from simple solid colours to fun prints, patterns and cutouts. I think playsuits are so easy to dress up or down and they work well with accessories and a wide range of footwear. They are also perfect for summer when it is hot outside as they are comfy and easy clothing and adding to that, they allow a lot of movement and airflow so you don't end up wiping drips of sweat once you step outside.
I decided to do something a little different for today's blog post. If you read my blog, you would know that I tend to get my outfit ideas and fashion inspiration from tumblr fashion in all of my clothing blog posts. However, I got a little bored with doing that and I also know although it is inspiring to look at head to toe outfit ideas, it is well tough to actually purchase these individual pieces from the shops. Therefore, I worked extra hard on this blog post to switch it up slightly. Because I have been too busy with work and weekend plans to actually go to the shops and look for some pieces, I went online and visited a few of my favourite online stores and managed to find a fair few pieces. I also made a few purchases whilst doing research which was good fun. I don't usually do it because H&M is abundant where I live and work, but I also visited the H&M online store because I love H&M for summer shopping and I did get some things from there as well. In total, I decided to share with all of you some pieces from four online stores which are Topshop, Boohoo, Missguided and H&M.

As you can see, my version of a dressy summer outfit isn't to go all out, which obviously you can if you want to but just picking up a few pieces that stray away from the standard top and a pair of shorts summer outfit. As this blog series is named Summer Simplicity, I decided to go for dressy clothing items that are still comfy and simple. I bought the most number of things from H&M because I just think it is the most affordable shop of the lot and also because I am in love with the new arrivals that H&M has to offer for the summer. I would like to point out that I made these purchases in a period of about two weeks and not all in one go because researching outfits and picking the right ones do take quite a bit of time. This is a little different from what I usually do on my blog but I hope you likes it anyway. I have left a few details about the items and a direct link to purchase these items which I hope will/have made things a little more convenient for you.
On a side note, whilst scrolling through the websites to look for these items, I spotted that Missguided is having some great bargains on flower head crowns so if you are at all interested in that then go over and check that out. I was on the fence of whether or not to buy them but I ended up not buying any as I do quite like to make my own DIY flower crowns.
Check out my other social media sites and comment below sharing your favourite dressy/formal clothing piece/outfit for the summer. Also, the fourth part of Summer Simplicity is going to be uploaded on this blog next Thursday (31/7) so be sure to look out for that. I will also leave this links to Part 1 and 2 of Summer Simplicity below so give that a little scroll if you are interested in more full head-to-toe summer outfits.
Have a great day! Xx
