I’ve been wanting to put this outfit together for probably the best part of a year. Under all the layers there’s a vintage summer dress I bought a few years ago on eBay – I think the only time it’s been seen on the blog was in this post from 2011. I’m also wearing a slip and about three pairs of woolly tights underneath to try and keep the cold out. There’s a reason why I don’t wear skirts all that often in the winter…
If you’re wondering where Part 2 of the Photo Tips Friday: Give Your Blog a DIY Design Makeover post has got to, it’ll be up on the blog this Friday. I’ve had to do a bit of a shifty about with my schedule, as I’ve got something reeeeeeeeally exciting to share with you on Tuesday – something to do with a giveaway and a lot of money. I’ll see you back here for that, then…?
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend 🙂

Oh my god, I love that skirt and those boots! 🙂
I barely wear skirts in the winter to, for the same reason that I don't like to be cold! I love the leather with the floral, though!
I love a light summer dress with a leather jacket! Gorgeous outfit, gorgeous you!
Love this outfit and would wear all of this… found you through Pleated Poppy link up…
Those boots! They are ridiculously fabulous! I love the mixed leather colors and the swingy skirt. Great combination of textures.
Found you via Wardrobe Wednesday
I love a look that is both flirty and edgy. And that purse is beautiful!
LOVE those boots! Happy to have found you through WIWW – new follower!
Funny you say the dress is hiding under there – I particularly love the earrings that I see peeking through too. Will be watching out for the exciting news (but especially the tips!).
Absolutely STUNNING! I love and would wear every piece of this outfit. You have a gorgeous style and an eye for beautiful details and items that standout and blend in beautifully.
Some seriously sophisticated print and texture combinations. Really good looking, and I see why you wanted to put all this in one charming outfit. I (we all, I'm sure) always look forward to your styling lessons.
The look is so romantic and feminine-love it!!! You styled it beautifully!!! By the way I'm hosting a link up party and would be thrilled if you decided to participate!

Sartorial genius (as is your standard), Catherine! I love the contrast of masculine and femme with the play of the leather pieces against the sweet, delicate florals in the skirt. And the color of the scarf peeking out is so beautiful with your coloring!

That's such a gorgeous outfit! Those boots are amazing and the pretty skirt spells spring (fingers crossed eh!)
I so agree with you! I hardly wear skirts and dresses in the winter…but come summer time, that's about all I wear! Here's hoping warmer weather gets here soon!!

Unfortunately there are never enough warm summer's days. Layering is a great idea.
Gorgeous!

Catherine I love this combination! The subtle clash of prints, the ultra feminine skirt with the tough leather jacket and your amazing choice of shoes and bag, all has been styled impeccably! Really wonderful my dear 🙂
