Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice... On the Cheap


 [Lace Cami Bra in Lemon, Coral and Black, £5.99 each, New Look].
 I severely doubt I could squeeze into one of these lace bras, but they're the perfect way to inject some sherbet colours into your wardrobe on a budget. They'd look great over a white t-shirt (ahem, maybe not for work) or under a sheer black shirt (yup, not for work either, unless you're in the fashion industry, or you might be regarded as a little inappropriate). The mixture of innocence, girliness and sluttish behaviour is quite irresistable if you're already in love with the version of Spring/Summer that Meadham Kirchhoff gave us this season.

[Lime Moped Print Sweat Top, £22.00, River Island]. 
I know this isn't remotely shaped like a Prada item, or even made of the right fabric to emulate the car print, but the point is that the motif has been translated in a new way. This is the street, everyday look with the same spirit. What's more, it could work with a sheer maxi skirt and Converse or as a cover-up for the gym.

[Unicorn Sweat, £26.00, Topshop].
It has to be said: I do love a good unicorn. They're so much more exciting than horses (except for War Horse, obvs) and they look a bit more punk. That's perhaps why Lady Gaga loves them too. Topshop's adoption of the motif against this bold azure colour works really well and manages to look fresh. You could wear it over a collared shirt for office chic, or over a slip dress and lace-up boots with fishnets to release some teenage angst like it's the 90s all over again.

    1. I know - they're such good value as well. They could easily pass for designer pieces. I can't decide which colour is my favourite!
