MIDI PERFECTION






Top - H&M
Skirt - Miss Selfridge
Boots - Topshop Sale, similar here
Necklace - Topshop, similar here

I dressed quite optimistically today, it seemed that the moment I went off to get changed this morning it was sunny and then the second I stepped outside the sun disappeared and the heavens opened (oh the woes of a blogger). But thankfully I managed to get these pictures taken before I got drenched.

I guess I am a bit behind the trend on midi skirts but I have always been a bit scared that they would never suit me and I have to say when I put it on it took me a good hour to adjust. But now I love it and wished I had got on the band wagon sooner.

Was anyone a bit scared of this trend? Or am I just slightly odd!?

Hey there sailor!

Now in my opinion you can never go wrong with a bit of stripe, this dress is one of my favourites as the material is relatively thick so it sucks me in slightly, which is always a bonus as horizontal stripes aren't the most forgiving. It even has some cool military style detailing on the shoulders, although silly me forgot to take a good picture of this, my apologies.

I paired this dress with my incredibly awesome cut out boots, which I am noticing are becoming an even bigger trend, they are everywhere (literally) and I have to say Topshop have some amazing new ones in. I think my overall finished look has an understated rock edge about it, which I love because I never like to look like a try hard (even if I have spent over an hour on it).

So what do y'all think?










Ohhh I also have a little bit of exciting news to tell you all, I am finally employed and by no other than L'Oreal as a Digital Executive!!! eeee it is still hard for me to contain my overwhelming sense of excitement, I start on Monday and so I have frantically been trying to pull together some form of a work wardrobe.

Any who I am off out to my first blogger event tonight, hopefully it should be fun but I'm still a bit nervous about not knowing anyone, so wish me luck :)
