What Sopho Wore | Sunny Days & White Denim

Sometimes, there is that one item of clothing, spied through the glass of a shop window in passing that just stays in your mind. No matter how many times you amble on past, telling yourself that you really do have enough clothes and asking yourself 'do you really need any more?' the answer is always, categorically yes. 

Enter my vintage white denim shorts. 

I have been after some for what feels like forever, scouring the internet for that perfect pair, only to find that the vast majority have been, well, lets just say over enthusiastically customised -aka cut so short and so high on the back that the only good place for them would be your underwear drawer. 

As always, my granny-like tendencies have prevailed and I have been steadfast in my search for the perfect length, perfectly high waisted white denim dream-shorts. Where did I end up finding them? Literal tripping distance from my flat, in the vintage shop at the top of my road- the perks of living in a quirky little town! 

On a particularly sunny Saturday, I donned my favourite new shorts, my trademark breton stripes and opinion dividing Birkenstocks, amazingly comfortable, but the Marmite of the shoe world it would seem. Myself and the mister took a trip to one of my favourite Stoke-on-Trent haunts, Emma Bridgewater, to take a peek at the bargain filled Summer Sale and attempt to rein in my ever expanding crockery addiction. 

While wandering through the shop we discovered the recently opened Courtyard Garden, little but perfectly formed, overflowing with beautiful summer blooms and home to some of Emma's very own chickens. It proved to be the perfect spot for a couple of outfit photos and a proper little gem in the heart of the potteries, well worth a visit if you're ever in the area. 

While you're at it, take a look at Little Vintage, you can find them on Facebook HERE. It literally is every vintage-lovers dream, headed by a lovely lady who knows everything worth knowing about all things vintage so whether you're in the area, or fancy a browse on their page, it's got top marks from me!
