cardigan - boyfriends, top & skirt - topshopi actually really, really don't like the colour blocking trend that's so crazy huge right now. i dislike bright colours and i really don't like wearing them unless the colour is really special. so you can imagine how shocked i was to be wearing this outfit! i'd wanted something red for ages, ideally in the form of a blouse, but this skirt caught my eye. it also happens to be a-line, which is something i really wasn't sure about, but i'm glad i went for it.
this blouse actually has scalloped sleeves and hem and the collar is scalloped too (although it's not as obvious), i can't wait to wear it without layers to really show it off. i seemed to really want to wear red, black and white this day... i'm even wearing red lipstick! i think this is quite an officey outfit and is a lot more formal than what i usually wear. (oh and just to mention, someone asked me whether i wear my blog outfits to work and i can sadly say no, i don't. i have to wear horrible smart things to work.)
Love that blouse!! xx

damn girl. i have had my eye on this skirt for so long<3. It is soo lush. I decided to go for it and try it on but i couldn't risk having to face the disappointment of it not fitting or something. so i had been putting it off for a while, i tried it on recently. It didn't fit:'( When seeing you in this, it made me fall in love with it over again and want me to try it on again, however it obviously wouldn't fit;) Thank you;) these pictures are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great look. You have something really special, you're very lovely and different :) xxx
ReplyDeletethis is so lovely, i love the blouse.
ReplyDeleteLove love love the collar on that blouse. Actually I love the whole look, but the collar is definitely my favorite part.
