SUNGLASSES: DAY TWENTY FIVE

DAY TWENTY FIVE: Green retro sunglasses, Topshop

The sun’s shining which has definitely lifted my mood, although you wouldn’t know it from my grumpy face in the photo above (I was just about to go back into the office after lunch). I decided to move away from my usual monochrome uniform and try to embrace a little more colour, with these mint green sunnies from Topshop.

Although I wear a lot of black (even my floral playsuit today is black), I like to add a little pop of colour in the form of sunglasses, hence my extensive collection of colourful frames. I can’t help noticing that my head looks really, really square in that photo, I might need to reshoot for my own vanity. Meh.

Worn with: Black floral playsuit, H! by Henry Holland; Denim jacket, Abercrombie & Fitch; Cream and navy quilted pumps, Office; Yellow satchel, Asos; Ant necklace, Links of London.

SUNGLASSES: DAY TWENTY

DAY TWENTY: Yellow retro aviators, Jeepers Peepers

This is a look that I like to refer to as Feral Hippy. This is what happens when I go to festivals, particularly around lunchtime of the second day. I start to smell and suddenly find headbands really, really appealing.

You may remember my other yellow sunglasses and think that these look familiar; well, that’s because these are also by Jeepers Peepers who make really cool retro styles of sunnies.

Worn with: Grey vest dress, H&M; Grey denim shorts, Zara; Studded belt, Gap; UFO scarf, Unique; Green military jacket, Da Nang; Black wellies, Hunter; Gold pochette bag, Celia Birtwell for John Lewis; Floral headband, Festival vendor.

SUNGLASSES: DAY FOURTEEN

DAY FOURTEEN: Neon yellow retro-style sunglasses, Jeepers Peepers

My colleagues have recently pointed out that they hadn’t seen these sunnies in quite some time and it got me thinking.. Last year, these seldom left my person, come rain or shine and I feel like I’ve been neglecting them. So on Sunday, I decided it was time to give them a bit of an airing. They look much better with a tan in June than they do with pale skin in February, so maybe they’ll come out a bit more in the not so distant future.

Worn with: Nautical stripe dress, River Island; Black leggings, Topshop; Long black cardigan, Zara; Studded bag, Max C; Navy and cream quilted pumps, Office.

SUNGLASSES: DAY TWO

DAY TWO: Grey and pink retro sunglasses, Marks & Spencer

The sunny weather’s holding out a little longer so today’s snap comes from the little patch of grass by my office. Everyone always jokes that my sunglasses are permanently attached to my head when they’re not on my face so I figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let you see them in their natural habitat.

Worn with: Denim jacket, Abercrombie & Fitch; White tee, Topshop; Spotty culottes, Miss Selfridge; Yellow satchel, Asos; Nude pumps, Topshop.

Special thanks goes to Simona from The Assistants Wear Primark for taking today and yesterday’s photos.
