OOTD - Maxi Skirt

Crop Top - Topshop// Skirt - H&M (similar)

I love wearing crop tops, however there's always the risk of showing too much skin in the daytime when worn with shorts or a short skirt, at a festival or another similar event it would be fine but for a casual daytime stroll around town or at a garden party, for me probably not. Obviously If you have amazing legs and you want to show them off ... DO IT!! as it's all about accentuating your strong areas :) I would.

Nonetheless I generally think Maxi and Midi skirts work perfectly with crop tops, they make the outfit much more demure, even Maxi skirts like the one i'm wearing where the under skirt is noticeably short but  is covered by the sheer overlay. Maxi skirts are great if your legs are your problem area, as they cover you up but still create a nice silhouette, I personally feel more relaxed and comfortable in them as i'm often conscious of my legs being on display when wearing something short. 

I feel Maxi skirts, along with maxi dresses suit everybody and make you feel so elegant, as the majority are floor length and floaty like a ballgown.

OOTD - Aztec

Bralet - Topshop (Many similar here and 1,2)// Skirt - River Island// Heels - H&M//

Blazer - Topshop (similar here)

I love this Topshop aztec bralet it's so colourful and bright, it works perfect paired with the plain skirt, blazer and heels, definitely an outfit for lunch with the girls. 

 I also like how it can be altered easily for different events.

 It would work with some pumps or wedge sandals and without the blazer for a festival (on a warm day of course), or with a denim/plain shirt on top and sandals for a casual day time look. 

Bralets in general with a high waisted skirt or a high waisted shorts, look great on girls of all sizes as the combination covers up the usual problems areas and creates the illusion of a small waist and toned stomach, if you have a problem with your legs wear a maxi skirt or trousers instead.

OOTD - Red Soles

Gold spiked peplum top - Daisystreet// Basic skirt - H&M// Highness Arabesque Heels - Christian Louboutin 

This outfit would be perfect for dinner in a nice restaurant, I love how easy it is to put together and inexpensive (apart from the heels of course). You can get a basic black skirts from many places for under £5 mine is from H&M but i'm sure they sell them at Primark, Topshop and river island. For a dinner its always nice to pair the skirt with a simple black top with a few statement features like the gold spikes and the asymmetric back, or a statement necklace if the top is plain. 

Designer heels (Louboutins in particular) have the ability to make most outfits look smart, classy and fashionable. I definitely recommend saving for some designer shoes the quality is instantly noticeable and the guarantee that they will remain intact for a life time makes them worth the price. Just make sure you try them on in store and walk around in them on carpet and a hard surface as I discovered mine were a little tight when I got them home, so I had to have them stretched :(.

 To protect your red soles from scratching I recommend Protect your pumps which is a non slip transparent adhesive, these are amazing the soles on mine still look brand new even though they've been worn numerous times. 

OOTD - Roses

What I wore to the park - 

Jumper - Romwe// Studded Ankle boots - H&M (similar here)//Bag- Mulberry Mitzy tote // Scarf- Zara (previous post)// Coat - She inside (previous post) Skirt - River Island

Yes I know firstly i'm wearing the scarf again, I think i need to lock it away for a while. I love this jumper from Romwe it was originally white like the picture below, but I made my first washing machine faux pas by putting it in with black leggings and it turned grey :( Boooo !!! It does however  look quite nice in grey, so i'm actually quite proud of my creation now (at first I was not a happy bunny !!).

Original Romwe Jumper 

I have ordered the unique irregular jumper again anyway as it has gone on sale from £37 to £19 (you can get an extra 20% off when you sign up too). The skirt is just a plain black skater skirt from River island, definitely a staple basic item that can be paired with many items, i'll do a lookbook soon on different ways to style the skirt.  

OOTD - Mint

Finally after all the snow it's sunny yipeeee !! I must admit I enjoyed the snow at first as I got to wear my new hunter wellies (will be featuring in another post), but when the novelty wore off I was well and truly ready for some warmth !!

Skirt - ebay // Boots - Chockers// Jumper - Romwe (similar here) // Sunglasses - Asos (similar here)

I love the combination of a jumper and a skirt when the weather is mild, it's such a contrast that mimics the feeling of being in between hot and cold perfectly. I've also been pretty obsessed with the colour mint  for a long time now, I've never liked blues before but for the past few months I've been drawn to everything cobalt blue and mint so much so I now want a mint coloured car (quite the turn around) . 

Now for a day of relaxing in the sun :) before the snow comes and ruins it all again!!
