Maria Black Shard Ring / Francesco Biasia Clutch / Prima Donna Bra / Topshop Fringe Boots
When the weathers nice it always makes me want to reach for swishy skirts, I don’t know why but something about the sun being out just makes me dress a little more ladylike, or I go right to the other extreme of dressing like I did as a teen in skinnies, Chucks & battered tees! This beautiful midi skirt from Missguided is exactly what I want to be wearing, it’s that perfect shape for wearing with sleek cropped tops thanks to it’s high waist and soft structure, how lovely is the heavy textured satin too? It’s also in the sale for a tiny £10 and I’m pretty gutted my size is already sold out, you know how I feel about nice textures! I’m going to be stalking that page hoping it comes back in stock!
A few months ago I went down to the Arcadia S/S ’15 press day and saw these wonderful fringed ankle boots in a pretty taupe colour, I think I spent all night professing my love for them all over Twitter. I had my fingers crossed that they’d be releasing them in black as well, obviously, and finally they have & now I really think I need them! Ankle boots are one of my favourite ways to slightly rough up a girly outfit & keep if from being too prim, and these would be so perfect for that. Another way I love to do this is with jewellery and ASOS have some lovely gold plated sterling silver pieces in at the moment for really great prices, I brought the dainty shark tooth necklace last week and this little spike ring is now on my list too. I never buy cheap jewellery made from base metals as to me it’s a waste of money, I like to keep jewellery & have it last, so it’s nice to see some good basic pieces like these that are great quality & really affordable too.

When I saw the skirt first, I was surprised you added an H&M Skirt to your collage. I was pretty surprised it actually wasn’t by H&M, because they carried exactly the same, made of exactly the same structured fabric, was available in black/black (matte/sligthly shiny) and black/white. I bought the black/white one for 40€ (full price) last autumn, and saw the black/black one repeatedly for 20€ on sale and resisted serveral times… I still want it, and if I happen to stumble upon it, I’ll definitely buy it.
The H&M skirt is high waisted and runs surprisingly small – I usually take the german size 34 (equals XS, I think), bu there I had to go up one or even two sizes, 36 or 38. The fabric is of very good quality (another surprise), therefore I highly recommend buying it, if you can find it (maybe 2nd hand?).
It’s one of my favourite wardrobe items, although it doesn’t get worn so often, it’s pretty ladylike, and that style doesn’t fit my lifestyle or mood every day :)
