I love a bit of sparkle on a day like this

I love mixing my pieces in my wardrobe. Let it be summer pieces mixed in with winter or giving my going out clothes a casual spin. This skirt is one of my many favorites to do that. Considering how much sequin embroidery it's got, I got it for a bargain. I've worn it a couple of times going out and layered it with a shirt and jumper combo here. ( that combo was also picked as look of the day by look magazine :-)

The weather s been amazing for a change. I mean truly truly amazing right?? But sadly I haven't been feeling too well to dress up or go out much. Hence the reason I haven't been blogging much.

I always reach for this skirt when I need a bit of cheering up. I don't really care or think much about what I'm going to wear it with because I just base my whole look around this skirt. I only have to consider where I'm going and the sort of look I want to go for. The skirts got a under layer so you can't really feel the sequins on your skin plus it's surprisingly very light weight considering the amount of sequins used.

I wasn't going for a specific look or anything, just wanted something casual and comfortable. A vest top underneath and threw in one of my denim shirts. I love the texture clash and the fact that a denim shirt is the last thing anyone would prolly think to wear with a skirt like this. The skirt doesn't really have a waist band so I use a belt to give my waist a bit of definition. These flat sandals are really comfy and I love the colours and the style( oh! The joy of getting my toes out)

I have definitely got my money s worth with this skirt already plus it would have been such a shame to hang it in my wardrobe and wait for a special occasion or a night out to wear it.

Layer up

I have been feeling very uninspired lately. Don't know whether it's the fact that the weather has been unpredictable or I have been too tired to even put an outfit together. I took couple of outfit pictures but I'm not very happy with them so didn't really want to blog about them.

I thought I'd share this outfit because I was in a rush and just threw this together. The monochrome top is one of my last years summer favorites.

      

 The skater skirt and the shirt underneath was the outfit I was planning on wearing and came across the monochrome top while looking for something else. It was like meeting an old friend that you haven't seen for awhile, so I took it out and just put it on top of the shirt just for the fun of it and added a belt because it was both quite loose fitted. I liked what I saw so I wore it out. I must admit I did feel a bit silly but couple of people said they loved it. It's kind of like a 'preppy grown up look'. What make this outfit work is because both top's are the same light weight fabric, so there is no clashing textures. I have also stuck to plain ankle boots and no jewellery at all. Matched the collar detail on the shirt to the detail on my handbag which to me pulled the overall look together. 

I do apologize for the pictures. The weather was pants and it was starting to hail and my photographer/husband was complaining about me dragging him in such horrible weather conditions.

What do you think about this outfit?? Epic fail or have I managed to pull it off? 

Hope your all having a good weekend! Apart from the horrible weather of course.
