Whilst there are outfits which never photograph well or are just practical, there are some outfits that just make you smile whenever you wear them and this outfit was no exception. The sunny weather definitely helped but I think the combination of a brightly coloured skirt, cute printed tee topped off with a straw boater would bring a smile to anyone's face! I bought this skirt in my first year at uni for the grand total of £6.30 and it's cost per wear must be in the minus numbers by now! It is a tulip shape which I think is super flattering and the colour gives me a boost whenever I wear it and it looks as good with thick tights as it does with bare legs. Truly a wardrobe champion!
I went to Primark a while ago now and picked up a few t-shirts but I haven't really worn this one much. I love the cutesy print but I'm really not sure about the ruffles. I just think they make the top look a bit cheap but they seem to work with this outfit so I don't know!
Another pretentious 'artsy' shot of my bag hanging off something! I am always really inspired to blog when I am home as the surroundings are so beautiful but I rarely have a photographer and I find it really difficult to get a decent photo using a tripod. I think quite a few bloggers had this hat last year including Claire and for £3 you can see why. It didn't do a very good job of keeping the sun off my face but it made my outfit look cute! :)

OMG, how cute are you! This might be one of my favorite outfits yet! I like the ruffles on the shirt, I don't think it makes it look cheap, and I love, love, love the hat on you--super cute!
Love your outfit :)
I do the 'cost-per-wear' thing! Makes me feel better when I've spent a lot on an item lol xx
I love your hat! This otfit definitely made me smile.
There's something about being able to put on fun summery clothes that definitely puts a smile on my face!
Such a sweet outfit, especially with the boater hat Maria! I always love your photos and the pretty places you photograph! xo
These photos look so pretty. I love when bloggers look truly happy an comfortable in their clothes, as opposed to when they just stand there and pout! I am happiest when I am wearing comfortable outfits and mixing items I really love :) xxx
You look LOVELY Maria, so summery! The straw hat look is always something I'd like to try to pull off but it would not suit me as much as it does you. And I've said before how gorgeous that skirt is :) ♥ Claire @ Jazzpad
Also, Maria! I nominated your blog for the 'Kreativ Blogger Award', because I think your blog is truly inspiring. Check out my blog for details!
