There's no better feeling than barefoot freedom wafting around on a beach somewhere to soothe the soul. We all love our flip flops in the warmer months but how do you get the most out of your favourite footwear so that you're suitably dressed for any occasion?
In this article I'll be showing you 5 fail safe outfit ideas creating fabulous looks from what you already have in your wardrobe. Read on and save yourself precious time and effort.
1. School run chic.
The last thing you want to be doing doing a busy morning is giving too much thought to what to wear on the school run.
Make like Jennifer Aniston and team a simple vest top with rolled up chinos and your favourite flip flops for a cool, pulled together look.
Alternatively swap for these Ultimate Joggers from www.lucyintheskyboutique.co.uk finish off with your sunnies and a practical hands free, cross body bag and you're good to go. If there's a chill in the air add a classic leather biker jacket and light weight scarf.
2. Brunch with the girls.
One thing's for sure we've all missed our regular catch ups with our besties over the last few months.
Does the thought of being let loose after lockdown throw you into a panic over what to wear? With gyms still closed and the highlight of the day being what to have for dinner, there's a possibility those favourite jeans are feeling a bit snug too.
For a fuss free and cute feminine look don your favourite maxi, some dangly earrings like these ones from www.rosemaejewellery and a shimmery basket bag. If it's a bit nippy chuck on a denim jacket, slip on some jewelled flip flops, a slick of lippy and you'll feel great while leaving plenty of room for dessert.
3. Dress down Friday.
There's nothing better than that Friday feeling and the promise of a little tipple after work, to wind down and welcome in the weekend.
But how do you make sure you strike the right balance of looking professional but with a more casual vibe on a Friday?
Ditch the stuffy suit and blouse and opt for an ankle skimming trouser with a funky tee and blazer. If you prefer a more feminine look go for a cute cami or spaghetti strap midi dress and a pair of black crystal flip flops to err on the side of formal. Ramp it up a notch with an head turning blazer in a bold colour and killer clutch, roll up your sleeves for a more relaxed vibe.
If you can't resist swapping for heels at the wine bar, stash your flip flops in your bag and swap footwear for the inevitable dash for the last train home!
4. Summer Dreams beach to bar.
With the quarantine now lifted many of us will be flocking to sunnier climes and that yearned for summer getaway. Without the need for countless shoes and excess baggage charges, your summer wardrobe needs to work harder than ever.
This bikini from www.mostwanted-stores.com is super glam and the perfect partner for these glittering flip flops. A dreamy boho beach bag completes the look and is roomy enough for all your daytime essentials, some dry shampoo and a change of clothes.
After a relaxing day at the beach for a stress free transition to dinner and beyond, a luxury kaftan in sumptuous silk is cool and comfy. Ready rolled in your bag keeping it crease free it's ready to whip on with at a moments notice. Team with beach waved hair, statement earrings and flick of mascara for a barmy hassle free evening.
5. Sunday pub lunch.
There's nothing better than an impromptu lunch you don't need to cook yourself.
At a moments notice this easy outfit strikes the right balance of casual, stylish and practical. For an added hit of glamour add some animal print. You've heard of double denim but double animal looks great too, keep to the same colour tones or clash it up for extra drama. This snake print cami from H & M looks great teamed with ripped jeans, a chunky chain and this fabulous zebra print bag. This great little clutch doubles as a shoulder bag with detachable strap so you're hands free at the bar.
Team with these Sapphire crystal flip flops and you'll be out the door before you know it.
So there you have it 5 fuss free styles for work and play. That's school, brunch, work, beach and pub covered, no more last minute panic and no achy feet spoiling your fun.
