Wardrobe Essentials - silk shirts

I recently mentioned that I have silk shirts on my Wardrobe Essentials wish list. This week I found a lovely 100% silk shirt from River Island. I wouldn't normally associate buying a silk shirt at this high street chain, but they have a range of silk shirts and vest tops in their new SS11 range. At £39.99 it's a whole lot cheaper than the Equipment version (£200+) worn by every second stylish blogger at London Fashion Week. 

I also recently spend a night destroying re-inventing five tunic dresses into tops/shirts and I plan to wear them tucked into a high waisted skirt this Spring/Summer. 

Now...if only I could arrange my shirts like the below wardrobe as featured on mode d'amour instead of squashing them into my bulging wardrobe! NHG x

Outfit details: Blush pink silk shirt, River Island; Rings (worn together), Sportsgirl and Topshop; Jeans, Topshop; Nail polish, Essie, Eiffel Tower vase, The Vintage Shed, Tyabb; Coco Mademoiselle perfume, Chanel.

  7. Is that the Eiffel tower vase I've heard about on Twitter? I love it! So kitsch! You could just get me into silk shirts with this post - I have an aversion to silk fabric for some reason, unless for lingerie, I feel it just hangs on me but maybe I should check out River Island when I'm back in the UK. Lovely ring in the 4th pic too.
