Charlotte (her blog is A Blonde Mess) gave me the idea to do this post just over a month ago when she commented on this post, about my recent Forever 21 order asking how I'd wear this shirt. I really love the shirt, I haven't actually managed to wear it out yet though. So, having made this post now - hopefully I'll start wearing it! Unfortunately I can't seem to find it on the Forever 21 website anymore, I'm guessing it was popular and sold out as it's a great, cheap alternative (at about £10) for this Topshop shirt, now also sold out online, which was £30.

   Here are 3 ideas of ways to wear the shirt, I tried to make each of them quite different.


Way 1: With Denim Hotpants

    Probably the outfit best suited to summer - you could pop some tights under the shorts and maybe throw a leather jacket over the top to make it suitable for spring! (These shorts are VERY short, I know, but your only young once! Haha!)






Necklace - eBay
Shorts - DIY
Belt - Primark
Lipstick - Maybelline Extreme Moisture in Royal Red



Way 2: Under a Dress

   This is pretty suitable for the weather right now here in England I think. It's also a little bit quirky and cute! 



Dress - H&M
Belt - Primark
Bracelet - Miss Selfridge
Necklace - Forever 21


Way 3: Under a blazer

   A really simple way to dress up this shirt a little. I think this would look great for a drinks or a meal out.



Blazer - Primark
Shorts - Forever 21
Bracelet - Miss Selfridge


Ps. My new blog design will be up in the next few days! I got my boyfriend to help me bleach my hair yesterday - think it might need a bit more lightening at the front / re-toning as it's too warm for my liking, but at least  I am rootless now. Still waiting on two of my giveaway items to arrive. They should arrive by tomorrow so fingers crossed I'll get the giveaway set up this week!

  15. I love this idea!
    I find that so many bloggers seem to wear something new every post, obviously thats fine for their blog, but honestly not all of us can buy a new outfit every day of the week!
    So i love when bloggers put the effort in and show us how to wear key pieces in different ways :)

    1. I always challenge myself to try never to wear EXACTLY the same outfit (although, we all have our faves!) and to try to collaborate old and new! xx

  17. I love the way you styled that shirt. I was just wondering, did you buy the denim shorts like that or did you customise them yourself? I have some levis I want to shorten and be really frayed and messy but I have no idea how to do it!? If you know how to, please share the wisdom!

    1. I customised them myself! Just got the studs from eBay and used a grater to distress the denim. Then run them on a quick cold wash, chuck them in the tumble dryer and they should come out nicely frayed! xx
