A black maxi skirt is such a wardrobe essential I honestly don’t know how I’ve survived this long without one.
It’s been on my “to get” list for so long, and I finally bought this Asos one with some birthday money I still had to spend which was a nice treat!
They’re pretty easy to style as they sort of go with everything: I love how they elongate your legs if you keep your top tucked in or knotted (as I’ve done here) to keep that waistline high. A couple of bright colours (red and coral) and some layered necklaces make an easy-to-wear transitional outfit for summer to autumn.
Have you recently bought something so essential for your wardrobe that you don’t know how you survived without it before? Or the opposite – bought something more unusual that’s turned out to be an unexpectedly versatile piece? They’re often the best purchases!
Skirt: Asos, Shirt: Marks & Spencer, Tank: F&F at Tesco, Hat: Asos, Heels: Faith, Bag: Debenhams, Watch: Asos, Necklaces: Asos / Gift / Local jewellers
this both colors is my favorite… i have purchased many stylish dresses from http://www.apparelnbags.com/harriton/index.htm its fabric is nice and comfortable….
I especially love those sandals!
That's so simple yet so elegant! Loving it!

Stunning bag! Haven't bought anything essential lately but an on the lookout for a couple of things in the second hand stores: denim jacket, LBD, chambray shirt and a nice button-up. I'll have to keep going shopping until I find them. Damn. Thanks for sharing your outfit. You always look amazing.
Looking lovely as always. Well put together this outfit. I am still struggling with my black leather long skirt. With me, if I tuck my top in the skirt it looks as if I have a tiny torso. You just reversed it: "elongate my legs". LOL
With me yellow shoes have been an unexpected pleasant surprise.

By the way… it has been quite a while since you desired anything black….
The colors are beautiful! And I agree, a black maxi is a must have.

You look great, Catherine! Your advice to keep the waistline high really makes a difference, I need to keep that in mind.
