The Skirt.

My love for this outfit cannot be described.  When I purchased both items especially THE SKIRT honestly I was looking for any excuse to wear it and the fact it doubles up as a skirt AND a dress melts my heart. I'm so in love with pale, nude skin colour shades right now, which will reflect in my posts to come...
The sun has actually shown its face in London and with that being a rare occurrence, I seized the opportunity to take time out of my revision and make a post.
Having an awkward body shape, I have learnt to dress more to my body type rather than what's on trend, so anything that accentuates my length is a friend of mine. I've been after a super fitted full length skirt but my love of bargains wouldn't let me buy the first one I saw off the bat. 
So while on Depop  which is a nifty selling and buying service set out like instagram I found a girl selling it brand new, with tags for a fraction of the price! 
Where as this super cute cropped navy strip top in a similar nude shade stops just where the skirt begins and compliments it perfectly and I was feelin' myself- yaaas honey especially with my new dookie braids.

I just found this look so simple and it can be dressed up or down- swap the heels for sandals, turtle neck for a bralet, throw on some shades and you're good to go. 
As always my hunt for a good background to make my posts continues lool - let me know what you think of this one and if you're a fellow blogger, fashion lover or a fan of my blog; hit my up on bloglovin', my twitter or instagram! Much love guys xo

Dress up Joggers

If you were to ask me a couple of weeks ago about my thoughts on joggers, they would have been predominately negative compared to what my thoughts are today today. The slouchy, "I don't own an iron" silhouette didn't translate for me, and seemed  more like post-gym attire than a fashion statement. I heard people comparing them to the new skinny jeans, and as a loyal skinny-jeans enthusiast, I was offended. A few weeks later and after imagining the ways they could be styled, I must confess: I’m a full-on fan of joggers....
I searched the ends of the earth for joggers that did my skinny legs justice starting off at H&M and was the result was a resounding let down, then to every other high street shop including Zara but they just were right. These however, are the perfect fit,the ruched bottom giving me lifeee ugh Yas.

And channeling my inner Rihanna who officially declared it spring in her amazing Pascal Millet ensemble- I paired the joggers with my favorite pair of ankle strap heels and a fully see-though mesh dress (worn as a top) with a bandeau inside to cover my modesty. 


Keeping it chic I wore a longline pinstripe blazer with minimal jewelry (and a smile) as this look can be both smart casual to casual depending on the occasion yet either way; oh so comfy!
