Nautical Stripes and Wildflowers




I was so inspired by the spring - like weather we had last week. It's so refreshing to the system; it just makes me want to DO something! Unfortunately, today is neither warm or sunny. Despite this, I got dressed with spring in my heart but with winter in my head (and bones!) hence the very woolly tights. I'm just not ready to lower the denier yet!

This is a skirt I got from Tokyo almost a year ago, and the background is navy, definitely not black! The rest of the outfit is from Topshop many many seasons ago. It's lucky I enjoy shopping from my own wardrobe because I've had to do it a lot recently. Did anyone else find nothing to their tastes this autumn? Even the spring/summer stuff is proving to be more difficult than usual. If atleast one shop would realise that I can't wear pastels as my skin is already too pasty then I'd be ok! I may end up changing my tune later on as needs must!

I really like this outfit. There's something so vibrant about the blue in the jacket/cardy that makes all the other colours step up their game! I realise it's quite busy but it's the way I like it. You can't really see but I'm also wearing biker boots from H&M. They ground everything, and stop some things I wear from looking too dress up!

Thanks for reading. Please leave a comment, I'd really love to hear from you.
