Swallow cardigan – Dorothy Perkins
Vest – Joe Browns
Midi skirt – H&M
In reality, neither the skirt or the cardigan should fit me – they are both a size 22. I am a solid 24 (which means 26-28 in some Evans items!) but as there is no consistency with sizing whatsoever, this outfit fits me fine. The cardigan was a birthday gift from my friend Clair and I love it! Its quite thin – which is perfect for the tropical climate in my office and for layering.
The skirt is an item I’ve had in the wardrobe all summer and have never worn it because I couldn’t work out what to wear it with. However having seen Kendi in this outfit and Lili in this, I decided a darker top would work fine with the paleness of the skirt. The skirt has a number of layers, which helps give it fullness and substance. I still wouldn’t wear black knickers with it though!
I love this cardi and skirt combo, you are giving me so many ideas, I am loving your blog. xxxx
Thanks Lily! That’s really nice to hear
Love the cardi, it feeds my rockabilly obsession!! Looking fab xx
Thanks Becky! It was a very welcomed gift from my friend
That outfit looks great on you! I have trouble figuring out what to wear with longer skirts – I’m going to have to try this darker top look!
Thanks Rebecca. I’ve really struggled with this skirt – its been in my eBay bag a number of times!! I think I’ve finally found a few ways to wear it now.
Oh, btw, what size in eshakti do you need? I’m not sure if that dress is still available (eek!).
Gah! I totally meant to email you back – I’m going to wait until Jan now – Xmas present buying has taken precedent.
I love this outfit! And that person who brought you the cardigan must be awesome
It fits you great!
I know! The friend is so modest too
The outfit looks fantastic on you! I love this combination. The floaty skirt especially. Which isn’t a surprise because I bought the hell out of the ASOS midi skirts last summer. Just glad they fit since they are technically a few sizes too small!
The navy and cream work great together. I think you could even style it with any color bright top – like red for the holiday season? And those super cute heart flats you have… or it might look really cute toughened up with some boots and other bad ass elements?
Ooh well remembered with the heart pumps – id forgotten about those! It’s a bit cold for flats at the mo – all biker boots etc! But I shall bare it in mind
You look lovely here. Really love that cardie – what a great present! x
I know! I’m very spoilt.
