In the past, I probably never would have thought that pairing a t-shirt with a pleated chiffon maxi skirt was a good idea but recently I’ve been updating the categories I mentally assign clothing to.

I wanted a comfortable but striking outfit to attend a friend’s birthday drinks and this was definitely a hit.

The wedge trainers perfectly marry the contrasting elements and the accessories add the right amount of edge.

Summer wedding

This weekend I attended my first summer wedding of the year, in a beautiful little village in Cheshire.

 

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t always wear black but it can be hard for me to find the perfect dress to suit my style for such things.

 

After a lot of looking around I decided to make myself something out of this water print fabric I bought last year.  I quite enjoyed making this and would be happy to make similar ones if anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation. summer wedding 2

Today it really felt like spring has arrived. It’s the first warm day we’ve had this year an I was pleased that my arctic vest from Efy Clothing turned up just in time to get my arms out. It was only sent out yesterday so I was impressed with the fast delivery. I’m trying to introduce more colour into my wardrobe and I love the crisp look of digital prints. This one features Owls and Orcas in a mirrored print and combines cold and warm colours, which makes it match both my hair and red lipstick at the same time.

There was still a few windy spells so I paired the vest with my new leather jacket from Asos as well as lots of gold chainmail to bring out the owls’ eyes and add a bit of an edge to my outfit.

I wanted to take pictures in the sun to document its existence but also in the shade because the details of my outfit showed up better. In the end I decided to do both.
