Despite the kinda formal set-up of the outfit, this is one of my current favourite outfits (I always seem to say this!). It is girly and tailored in equal measures, which is pretty much how I'd define my style! Decided to style my new top yesterday with my faithful Zara skirt - still have a love/hate relationship with this - and simple flatforms, with an armful of handmade jewellery. My sister and I took a blustery stroll around the lake in my hometown over the weekend, and just took a break away from the four walls of home, which was perfect.

When I was invited to work in partnership with J Crew for their 'Hello, World!' campaign, I pretty much jumped at the chance. After religiously watching videos of a few beauty/style bloggers in the US, I've been seriously interested in J Crew and the world of pixie pants, to say the least. Luckily for us Rest Of The World-ers, their summer campaign offers J Crew insiders (which you can sign up for on their new microsite) free shipping until the end of the year, duty-free international shopping until the end of August, and priority access to J Crew's team of stylists.

I'm thoroughly impressed with my J Crew experience so far. This shirt is one of the comfiest I've worn, although their sizing is quite generous? I pored over the US/UK sizing charts and still managed to get it slightly wrong. Typical Mish. Luckily, as you very well know, I'm all about the looser, form-free silhouette so this feels absolutely perfect for pairing with my favourite River Island trousers, a simple skirt, or even just with jeans. ♥
