'I'm a shopping writer and Abercrombie's Wimbledon-ready set is my payday pick'
Payday has finally arrived after what seems like an eternity, and if you're anything like me, you've mentally spent half your wage already. However, this year I'm committed to shopping more mindfully and avoiding the over-purchase of items I'll only wear or use once. So, I'm restricting myself to just one treat (perhaps two) per month.
Part of my role involves browsing through new-in sections, so I have a good idea of what's available this month. One co-ord, in particular, caught my eye for June's payday treat. And it's come just in time for the start of Wimbledon.
The matching set in question is Abercrombie's strawberry print waistcoat and skort. The set is comprised of the Linen-Blend High-Neck Vest, priced at £60, and the Tailored Linen-Blend Mini Skort, priced at £52.
Whether you're sitting courtside at Wimbledon, heading to a picnic in the park or strolling around cobbled streets on holiday, this linen blend set is ideal for warmer weather. Linen has a natural breathability, as well as moisture-wicking properties, making it the perfect fabric choice for the summertime.
I've had a few other new-ins on my radar including Huda Beauty's new Lip Contour Stain, £22, Hannah Cooper Dommett x Warehouse's Premium Hand Embellished Scoop Neck Mini Dress, £129, and Abbott Lyon's Ocean Cluster Pendant Necklace, £59. However, it was Abercrombie's heatwave-perfect matching set that came out on top of my wishlist this month.
The skort features built-in shorts, which makes is perfect for those who struggle with chafing thighs especially in the hot weather. Skorts are often very relaxed and informal looking, however, thanks to the shorts on this mini being hidden, the skirt looks far more refined and polished than others on the market.
On top of this, the waistcoat features a tie detail at the back so you can cinch it in as much or little as you like, and help create a figure-flattering silhouette. My favourite part, however, is the adordable micro strawberry print that fits perfectly into the 'strawberries and cream' theme around Wimbledon. And don't worry, if the print isn't really your style, you can also shop the set in an on-trend black and white polka dot print or plain white linen.
Happy payday shopping!

Tennis superstar Aryna Sabalenka leaves fans stunned after going topless in surprise Instagram post after Wimbledon heartbreak
World No 1 tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has taken Instagram by storm after stripping down for her latest post. The 27-year-old is a three-time Grand Slam champion but suffered heartbreak at Wimbledon as she was dealt a shock semi-final defeat at the hands of Amanda Anisimova at SW19.

Tan lines on her shoulders were evident, with slight cleavage on show and the tennis star's hand on her own head. She also donned a necklace with what appeared to be shells on, and was inside when the photo was taken. Sabalenka is no stranger to getting her kit off for social media. She often shares photos where she shows off her body in a bikini, though went one step further on this occasion. Alongside the topless picture, she showed off her legs by the pool, while another photo showed palm trees and another was a selfie in a car. Despite making headlines when she helped a struggling spectator with a bottle of water on Centre Court, Sabalenka also admitted that she has a 'hate relationship' with Wimbledon after to failing to win her third semi-final in a row. 'I lost three semis,' she said after her defeat by Anisimova. 'Three tough ones 'Then I was banned from playing (due to her nationality, in 2022). Then I was injured. So I have really more of a hate relationship right now with Wimbledon, but I really hope that one day I will, yeah, turn it around and have love relationship.' In the aftermath, though, she has made the most of the summer, as shown by her social media. On July 19, she posed next to boyfriend Georgios Frangulis in a post captioned: 'The sweetest summer.' On July 21, she said she was 'soaking in the last few days of vacation,' but was taking in the sun again this week ahead of the US Open, which starts later this month.
