flops and frills





Blouse - TK Maxx
Hat - TK Maxx
Trousers - H&M
Rings - Vintage and Thomas Sabo
Bare nails - shameful!

A few weeks ago I popped to TK Maxx purely on the basis to check out their homeware section. I love TK Maxx for picking up interesting and one off pieces for the house; all for a pretty decent price. They always have a lot of Indian and African influenced items, which I really like, such as intricately carved Buddhas and wall-mounted African masks.

I ended up leaving (well almost leaving) empty-handed when I spied this hat; the perfect style I had been yearning for for ages. I had seen a similar one in H&M but they only had it in large which was far too big for my little bonce. I love floppy hats for AW and so was very pleased I found this one. I had always dismissed TK Maxx clothing before now, but after I picked up the hat I decided to have a little shop around. It was love at first sight when I saw this blouse; I adored the light sheer material and the gorgeous Victorian frilly laced collar. I felt rather smug with my unplanned purchases and shall definitely be visiting TK Maxx a little more often! 

I hope you are all well and enjoying a rather unsuspected sunny weekend here in England.
What have you purchased recently?

Love this whole outfit! I'm on the hunt for some trousers like that! I want something that's comfy as leggings, but I can wear a t shirt or whatever with them :) xxx

You look lovely Milly! I finally found a floppy hat to suit me the other day, but felt it would be a bit OTT for back-to-Uni attire ;) Gorgeous shirt as well! xx

I think this may be my favourite outfit you've ever posted! Too gorgeous but in a laid back way - perfect for autumn! Totally inspired me to get my floppy hat out again now.

I ADORE the blouse, looks gorgeous hun :)
The hat looks fab on you too. I am still to wear my floppy hat, this one is lovely though.
I'm liking seeing your hair natural more.

I need to go in TK Maxx more, I go in there, but when I don't find anything, I feel really disheartened and then forget about it the next time around

It's so weird that you popped this post up on TK Maxx as the last few weeks I have lived in their! I've found the most amazing one off items in there and actually tried on the black version of this blouse! It's definitely one of my favourite places to have a little rummage! x x

You look great... as usual! Question: Is TK Maxx anything like TJ Maxx in the states... the way you described what they sell sounds as though they're identical!

Mademoiselle Lala said...

I can see that you're wearing these trousers from H&M which you've bought in different colours! :)

The hat is great and you're chanelling 70s all the way!!! X
