As close as I'll get to sportswear.

 T-shirt - Urban Outfitters
Skirt - Vintage
Shoes & Bag - Topshop
Bracelet - Lola Rose

I've never been one for the sportswear trend, maybe because I spent a lot of my teenage years in a tracksuit practicing gymnastics, so this is as close as I'll get! I'll never be swayed by wearing a sports bra as a top, or by so-called 'formal' joggers - in my opinion sportswear is for exercise, and I'll only be caught in it while going for a run or heading to and from the gym. The nearest I will go is this sweet mint green t-shirt (I fell for it in Urban Outfitters) and Topshop lace ups, and even then I've managed to make this look quite girlie by sticking to a pastel palette and wearing my softest, most feminine skirt. The skirt makes me feel a bit like a ballerina or a little pixie because it is so flowy! I do like the contrast between something so girlie and pretty and a very simple, practical t-shirt - I like to mix and match and keep things fresh, and this outfit feels very fresh thanks to its light colours. I was also slightly excited to be able to go out without a jacket - I'm glad I'm at home in Somerset where the weather is brightening up, because I doubt it will be this warm and sunny when I head back to Birmingham at the weekend! I wore this outfit yesterday intending just to go to town, but we ended up kind of exploring the prettiest local park..
