peach and stripes



skirt, jumper & shoes - topshop, bag - asos

i love the idea of peach with navy & white stripes, so this outfit was a joy to wear. it's hard to believe i'm wearing a jumper in july, but the english weather has been so awful lately that it feels like january (it's supposed to rain constantly for the rest of the week so posts might be very few and far between for a while!). but yes, i'm wearing a jumper, but the material of it is so thin and lightweight that it doesn't feel like one. besides, with topshop already stocking hats, coats and scarves, i'm already looking forward to autumn (my favourite season for dressing!).

i spotted that carrie had done a blog post (< click link!) after buying this same suede skirt and also finding the length a bit too long. i'm way too awkward at sewing etc to attempt chopping the bottom off like she did, but i'm so confused by the length of the skirt - i think it looks alright in these photos but when wearing it it felt way longer!

  1. you both pull off that skirt wonderfully. i also starting to dig out my transitional layers already which makes me quite sad seeing as we're only half way through july! -x-

  2. I can't believe the shops are stocking autumn clothes already. It feels like we are only at the start of a new season! PS Love this jumper ...

  14. I think this skirt is a perfect length...I wouldn't shorten it, I think the length is part of what makes it so special. Another great outfit :)
