I debuted this skirt on Twitter & Instagram last week, asking the social media hive mind whether or not I should send it back it. After a resounding cry of, "Keep it!", I'm so glad I did. The fabric is very synthetic-feeling but I love the swishy circle skirt and the gingham check, and it's magically cut to make both my stomach and my bum look flat. This was an ASOS find, the sort of thing I bought on the off-chance while I was filling my basket with other stuff I was more sure about, and which turned out to be the only thing I kept from the whole order.
I am really into midi skirts this summer (almost as much as I'm into putting my hands to my mouth in photos: seriously, in every outfit post, my hands are up there faffing around What is that about?). It's all thanks to Polkadot Pink who convinced me that yes, short girls can wear midis.
I wore this to go down to London on Saturday for my best mate's birthday drinks. It turned out to be the perfect outfit for a hot and humid afternoon in the pub; it didn't exactly keep me cool, but I felt comfortable at least.
There are some cracking outake photos from this outfit too. I might have to put together a "When outfit photos go wrong" post, because they really are hilariously bad. I'm also a pretty terrible fashion blogger, cos I've just realised I've worn this belt in pretty much every outfit post so far. Oh, and you can see the sunscreen stains on my t-shirt sleeve. And a bit of fluff. Wow, I am so good at this fashion lark.

Love the skirt! And I love your poses in your outfit posts - they're fun and it kinda shows you're not taking things *too* seriously, and that's what it should be about :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to say they're actual poses, but what usually happens is we go into the back garden and I stand awkwardly while Thomas takes lots and lots of photos and there's usually one or two which are slightly less awkward (although always with my hands to my mouth out of nerves), and those are the ones I use!
DeleteAbsolutely love this look, so much so I'm now scouting that skirt down on ASOS. It's such a great fit on you! Love the simplicity of black with tan! Top marks! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks :) It's a really comfy skirt, I'd recommend it. If you haven't already found it, it's this one@

Love this skirt - and your honesty about outfit pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt! One of the (many) reasons I don't do outfit posts is that I am incapable of keeping clothes clean and presentable for more than about 10 minutes xx
