A few months ago friend asked me to help her with an outfit for a boat party. After hours of questioning our friendship and some serious soul searching for reasons why I wasn't invited to this party, I put my emotions aside and went to work. What would everyone be wearing I thought? Blue and white with boat shoes? Full sailor outfits like they were going into a submarine to fight for their country? I was going to do the exact opposite as usual.

So anyways in true Alero style I found these trousers on sale at HnM for £11.99 and thought, I better put together my own sailors outfit for a rainy day (ok not rainy rainy, I don't have pawa for ocean swimming biko). I sat at home for many days thinking, any day now someone will invite me to a boat party, any day.... and exactly 133 days later, I invited my own damn self and went on my own damn party with my family who love me unconditionally for who I am ?.
I knew I wanted to wear a hat of some kind and not look like I was going golfing in a boat so my all season straw hat sufficed.

I paired this easy to wear
shirt from Bershka and sold out high rise white trousers similar
here. My bag is vintage from etsy and I got it for £22 which was a bargain. I love my bag and my bag loves me ???.

Here is an idea of an outfit I could have rocked if I had more time to prepare. All items listed. Until next time buttercups.
