The sky wore a slight grey colour. The leaves have started to make their descent to the ground. There wasn't just a slight breeze, more of a bitter wind. My two yellow sunflowers standing out from everything; their sunshine yellow- such a gorgeous feel good colour. I felt quite guilty taking them from the vase at home but they were the perfect finishing touch. The pretty parts of England are so green, every imaginable shade. "I really should get out more often!"
However this positive thinking was immediately destroyed as a swan made a terrifying dash towards me from across the field. Okay, it was like all the way on the other side, but boy can they fly-fast and aggressively. I got my weekly exercise as I made a run for it. "Okay, this is why you stay indoors!"

I always love looking through fashion magazines and in shops and seeing old styles come back. You know the 60's mini skirts, the fur coats, platform sandals... it allows our parents to see the clothes they once loved on their children. It must be such a time capsule, such a moment of reliving the past. The return of the dungarees though is taking me back, to the back garden days, paired with my pink floral docs and an over sized jumper, digging in the dirt, aged 5 and not having a care in the world.
Denim is such a staple at the moment. Whether you're sporting the ripped jeans, the A-line skirt, pinafore or a t-shirt dress. Denim is such a versatile item, layered, doubled - do what you please, you pretty much get a way with it! When I saw the return of the dungarees I wondered if I could pull off the look... I mean at the short height of 5ft and a quarter of an inch, I don't have much to work with.
I plucked up the courage to try some on and was super happy with the results. Firstly they are a lovely colour, fitted perfectly and are probably one of the comfiest items of clothing I have ever put on. So worry filled my head-What if people make comments and what if people laugh? And then I came to the sudden realization that I DO NOT CARE. I am who I am and therefore I will wear what I want. Since wearing them, people have commented on how much they liked them and asked where they can get a pair. Well the answer to that is Gap, retailing at £54.95. I urge you to go and try them on, you will not be disappointed. Dungarees are a fashion statement acceptable from birth to old age!
"I'm free."
The possibilities are endless. Whether you want to be casual or dressy, you have the chance to pair dungarees with so much. Just be creative and brave. On a night out, pair with a cute black crop top and black platform heels and a patterned clutch. Or swap for a long sleeved lace top for more texture! For a super slouchy look, go for a pair of high top converse and a baggy top. For an every day look, try a plain fitted top, necklace and ankle boot combination. The best clothing pieces are the ones that you can style in different ways.
Denim Dungarees- £54.95 Gap

Everything will be changing so much in the next few weeks as I move from home to University and start the biggest chapter of my life so far. Blogging is something that I really want to continue and will hopefully have the time and facilities to do it more.
Please give any feedback you have and please try on a pair of dungarees hehe!
Thank-you for reading,
