Style Icon of the Week #1: PERRIE EDWARDS

Aside from possibly being my 'Ultimate Style Crush of All Time', Perrie Edwards has been absolutely rocking the festival scene this July. Although the Instagram videos of her and band mates Jade, Leigh-Anne and Jesy dancing along to Snoop Dogg (or, er, Snoop Lion) were great, it was Perrie's numerous outfits that caught my eye. So as she partied to Snoop Dogg/Lion, here's the outfit that Perrie wore:

All throughout the festivals - whilst both performing and watching the other acts - Perrie opted for a monochrome theme, which is huge this season. Sticking to her usual Bohemian style, her bang-on-trend tie dye maxi dress is casual, and looks effortlessly cool with its square collar and rolled sleeves. Perrie teamed her maxi dress with a black fashion turban (which Cara Delevigne has also been spotted wearing) and accessorized with a cross necklace. Her simple sandals also compliment the chilled out vibe.

Maxi Dress, £19.99

Moving onto outfit número dos, (that's number two for any of you non-Spanish speakers). Whilst performing at Wireless Festival, Perrie kept her monochrome in tact. Here's the evidence:

Although still relatively casual, Perrie's performance outfit is a tad dressier than her previous one. Crop tops have been quite popular this Summer, and never one to pass up on a summer favourite, Perrie has worn hers with style. Teaming it with some elephant print trousers (which are unbelievably cute) and Dr Martens, I'd give Pez a 10/10.

Crop Top, £6.00

Trousers, £16.99
from New Look

Boots, £110.00 from Dr M.
(If, like me, these shoes are out of your price range,
there are some similar ones on the
TopShop and River Island websites.)

And last but not least, Perrie's T in The Park ensemble - and what I think is my favourite:

Perrie is smashing this tomboy-themed outfit. Her oversized jersey style T-shirt worn as a dress looks fabulous on her, and her Dr Martens (as worn before) compliment the outfit. Beanie hats have been on trend for months now - it doesn't look like they're going out any time soon, either - and Perrie's pulling hers off perfectly. Her bold make-up also works well with the outfit, and her red lips helps add a tiny bit of colour to her overall look. Brilliant.

So there's a few reasons why Perrie Edwards is my Style Icon of the Week. I'd love to know, who are your style icons and why?
