Mesh on mesh on mesh...

Nothing gets me more excited than a fresh ASOS delivery and this mornings was no different thanks to this beauty; a light grey, longline mesh top with contrast back zip, and at only £12.50 (currently reduced, GO GO GO!) I don't even feel the slightest bit guilty!!! 



Mesh seems to be all the rage at the minute and I can see why. It can be dressed both up and down, and is the perfect go-to item when you're having one of those inevitable mornings where you just can't seem to find anything to wear (despite having a wardrobe over flowing with clothes!), so here's my suggestions:

Grey mesh top // ASOS  // £12.50
Black bandeau // New Look // £2.99
Black DIY shorts (made from Leigh jeans) // Topshop // £38.00
Checked shirt // River Island // too long ago to remember £!
Suspender tights // Topshop // £8.50
Black flatform trainers // New Look // £12.99
(Love the grunge look!!)



 Grey mesh top // ASOS  // £12.50
Black bralet // Missguided // £9.99
Black jersey tube skirt // H&M // £3.99
Black pointed shoes // Primark // £12.00


Grey mesh top // ASOS // £12.50
Black bralet // Missguided // £9.99
Leigh jeans with DIY rips // Topshop // £38.00
Boots // H&M // £17
Bowler hat // New Look // £14.99
Imitation leather bag // H&M // £24.99
(Still a little obsessed with the Missguided bralet as you can tell!)

I made both the black shorts and black jeans with knee rips myself from a couple of pairs of old, faded Topshop Leigh jeans (THE best jeans ever!), but if you don't have any you fancy chopping up this look can just as easily be made with a cheap pair bought from Primark - they sell jeans from as little as £9!!

This has got to be hands down my favourite piece at the moment and I cannot wait to take it on it's first outing tonight (sporting outfit nĂºmero 2; perfect for a night out)! Eeeeek! 

What do you think about the 'mesh' trend and what would you pair this with?? : )
