I've decided that blogging would be a lot easier to stick to if there was a day of the week beginning with the letter ‘b’ that way I could have ‘blogging Buesday ‘ or ‘blogging Briday’. This way I could stick to my blogging as easily as I stuck to my college’s curly fries Friday all thanks to alliteration. As it is however the days of the week are somewhat ‘b’-less placing me in an unfortunate situation whereby I cannot amuse my childish ways with a delightful literary device. It’s a hard life, is it not?
Anyway back to fashion and the biggest news of the year (so far at least): I have a pleated skirt! Hallelujah!
Given how long I’ve gone on about wanting one of these skirts it was about blooming time. ‘Blooming’ being seemingly appropriate given the lush green of my skirt, all its really missing is a spattering of fresh flowers and I’d be a walking meadow. I decided though that for my skirts first outing (a walk to the highly fashionable B&Q, naturally) I’d go for a simpler look by keeping the colours simple with a black body and my go-with-everything Topshop yellow sandals; after all the delicate pleats of the skirt speak for themselves.
However I couldn't help but plant florals alongside this pleated skirt the next time I wore it and so came up with this colourful ensemble…
The ‘top’ is actually an H&M dress that I got a while back and immediately puts me in a summery mood given the tropical print that wouldn’t look out of place on a garish Hawaiian souvenir shirt. This outfit was ultimately my attempt at utilising my wardrobe better, the dress as a top being something I hadn’t really tried before and solving the problem I had with the ridiculously short underskirt that the skirt has (I’m pretty sure the first time I wore the skirt I flashed to the majority of B&Q’s customers as a result of this…). I also secretly wanted to steal the style of Josephine De La Baume from when she wore Jonathon Saunders. She looked so fresh and feminine that who wouldn't want to? She is certainly someone that knows how to dress her curves.
I feel that at this point having covered the ‘fashion’ aspects of this post that I should probably apologise profusely for my outfit pictures where I resorted to the shameful camera-mirror combination. I am well aware that this is the lowest of lows and should therefore be only done by chavvy, pouty, underwear clad teenage girls but desperate times called for desperate measures. How else was I meant to show off my pleated skirt?
