It is evident that school will soon be out for summer when I visit Perth city centre this week.
The High Street is teaming with stylish locals enjoying the sunshine (and some kids spraying water guns at unsuspecting pedestrians).
I stopped six shoppers with unique looks to learn how they put their outfits together.
