Hey cuties!
I know a lot of us are fed up with winter and cold weather and are looking forward to spring summer π». I am as well and we're meant to finish lockdown too in spring so I can't wait to see friends. But while I wait I thought I'd look for some spring summer inspo and match it with what I can make too. I love making my own clothes be it sewing or knitting and Clairey and I have been caught by the knitting bug when I'm off work. I know knits make you think of winter but they don't have to be! I found some modern and 2010s gyaru inspo to get you hyped for spring summerπ.

Matching knit separates has been a huge trend I've noticed especially a bralette and cardigan. I've seen a lot of western stores selling these too especially now with all the ss21 collections dropping. I've knitted a few bralettes in the style before using an amazing easy pattern by Jessie Maed that looks like this called the Ripple Bralette.
The knit uses a fine yarn so it isn't wintery at all and matches perfectly!
The fluffy knit separate is perfect for British spring time when it's still too cool. I'm super inspired by the beach photos which also matches bralette too. I love the styling with the D.I.A belt and platform sandals.
(From Tumblr not sure who's it refreshed after I took a screen cap π)
I'm really inspired by the gal on the right with the D.I.A beach look. The top matches another pattern I've knitted up before. It's similar with the outfit Aisyu was wearing too and is definitely the same vibe I want to create. To take my mind of how cold it is in the U.K I decided to do two flat lays using the inspo and my knitting and I came up with this.
And here is my 1st, the knitting patterns are The Breeze Racerback and Ripple Bralette by Jessie Maed. I super recommend her patterns there really simple and she has lots of tutorial IGTV videos on her Insta linked above. I had to use some denim shorts and a chain belt after looking at all the inspo. I also used my Dr Marten flatform sandals to match with Aisyu's look as well. To continue the beach feel I used my bead necklace I bought on holiday one year π I'll just pretend I'm back on the beach again π
I used the same pattern again but this time in a full pink outfit. I haven't finished my pink bralette yet for this one but I'm planning on crossing the straps at the front like a lot of D.I.A tops do. The racerback alone though has a deep plunge which makes it more sexy π. I was inspired by Y2K when making this flat lay so I paired it with a butterfly chain belt and Playboy necklace. I bought these pink shorts when we went to Disneyland but I didn't get a chance to wear them so I HAVE to wear them this year!
And thats the start of my spring summer inspo! I love combining my passions in life and I think I'm going to be quite busy knitting for summer now π.What are your hobbies?
