So you remember the beautiful Hobbs skirt that I bought from a charity shop in the last post? Well here is is in person! I really love a good pencil skirt as they lengthen your legs, make your hips look smaller and make your bum look amazing! I particularly love the colour of this one, it relates back to one of my first posts on here ‘Smart Burgundy’!! I do love burgundy, its very autumnal and cosy.
So with my beautiful tailored skirt, I have tried to dress it down a little with a printed burnout vest from River Island. I love it because it has a large abstract skull and (my fave) studs!
As you can see, it has a teeny bit of green and burgundy in with the print which works nicely with my skirt. I love picking out little accent colours. Over the top of it all I have added in my New Look leather jacket, with its feminine shape but tough, leather outer.
My! The skirt looks super red in this picture! So, the belt! It is actually two belts layered on top of one another. One is just an elastic belt with poppers at the back and the other is a black leather belt from River Island. It was just plain leather, but I have recently got myself a little studding kit from a charity shop and have been studding away to make everything a little more updated in my wardrobe!! I think I am in love with it! It is so easy that anyone could do it, I’ll have to do a post on it for you all :)
I love this look, it is elegant and feminine but can be worn quite casually around the shops or to a lunch date. Just swap in a blouse instead of a vest for the office, or swap in an oversized tee and some boots for a more casual look. The pencil skirt is so versatile!
With thanks to my bestie, Gracie, for helping me take the photos. I’ll include her more in my next outfit posts so you can keep track of her style too!!
