I haven't done an outfit post for a while and really it's because my outfits have been more practical than pretty lately. I've had so much uni work to do it's just been a case of grabbing whatever is nearest and suits the weather outside. May has so far been a wash out in England, but I hope it gets warmer so I can stop wearing my tights!
Anyway, today I decided I would stop moping about (dressing scruffily generally makes me feel worse, but I dress scruffy because I feel mopey..a viscious circle!). I received this lovely blue skirt from Topshop last friday and had not yet had the opportunity to wear it. Today I had to finish off my essay so I thought I would dress for the occassion. The skirt is from the Barbara Hulanicki range and was about the only thing I really liked it from it, to be honest. The rest of it is too 'hippy' for me really. This is wonderful though and I can see it will fit into my wardrobe perfectly. I love the button detailing, the high waist and the way it swishes when I walk.

I should have worn this necklace with it really! I bought this from the etsy shop Shabby Shack Shop and I adore it. The chain is a bit short but other than that I love it. It's perfect and elegant and also really shiny.
Great skirt! I love the color combination of your outfit, and it matches your room really well, too, hehe
ReplyDeleteYour whole outfit looks very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI recognised the skirt immediately (oh topshop obsession, how you rule my life!) as it was my favourite piece in the Barbara Hulanicki collection too! Alas it wasn't in when I went there today :(

ReplyDelete"dressing scruffily generally makes me feel worse, but I dress scruffy because I feel mopey..a viscious circle!"
ReplyDeleteIn my head, i was saying "ah what a viscious circle!" before I read to the next line and saw we were thinking alike. I am far too familar with this circle. I wore sweats and a tank to school the other day because I knew I'd have to take a 5-hour test, but I felt so much ickier knowing I looked like crap!
I LOVE this blue skirt on you. I hope England warms up so you can wear things like this more often!
Ooh, I love that skirt! What a great shape.
