Black Leather Jacket, Blue Pleated Skirt & A Touch Of Pink

This outfit was one of those rare combinations that I wasn’t entirely happy with when I left the house, but when we were shooting the pictures I was pleasantly surprised.

I hadn’t realised that I’d picked out the magenta colour in the scarf with the bag, nor that the boots actually looked okay with tights and a skirt. (I’d only worn them with trousers till that point, but I was running late for my hair appointment and had zero time to change.) The overall colour combination was really lovely – maybe I’m better at this than I thought!

I nearly came a cropper with the wind and that floaty pleated skirt – I was having a serious battle with the wind. I had to hold my hair (freshly out of the hairdressers) out of my face with one hand, and hold down my skirt with the other. The wind does make for some great movement in pictures, but gawwwwd does it take a lot of shots to get it right.

The weather is crazy wet and windy in the UK at the moment, I hope you’re all safe from the various elements wherever in the world you are. Are you looking forward to a change in your weather and wearing something different? I’m dreaming of floaty summer dresses right now…!
