Warm Winter

The thing I love most about Winter has to be the warm clothes! I love the over-sized coats, the winter boots and all things knitted. My mai...

Seeing as I have recently returned to sixth form for my final year before venturing into the big wide world. I thought I would do a little 'back to school' post.

At the moment I have had quite an obsession over the houndstooth print, which has recently grown on me very quickly. So it was agenising when it came to finding the perfect houndtooth skirt for the upcoming seasons! Have you had this much trouble? I scoured the shops in hope of finding that one perfect skirt that matches the vivid image created in your mind of how it will look on the hanger and on you. Luckily, I came across this New Look skirt and fell in love! I will say it again, I love this skirt! The shape and fit is perfect, as well as the notches to make it very accessible to move in. The houndstooth print, along with the mini skirt are trends set to take autumn and winter by storm! I think this purchase is very on trend and should definitely get a lot of wear! It is also going to help with the transition from summer to autumn.

So for today’s look I paired the houndstooth mini skirt with a plain black crop top. This is because the main focus of the outfit is aimed at the printed skirt. So by keeping everything else quite minimal, all the focus is directed towards your statement piece.

However, I accessorized this look by adding a silver chain necklace and several rings/midi rings. I further added a little colour in my nail polish and opted for darker lips to suit the autumn weather.

Crop Cami - Topshop
Mini Skirt - New Look
Nail Polish - Barry M
Rings- Miss Selfridge, H&M, River Island
Necklace- Dorothy Perkins

Overall, I feel this outfit has a certain ‘back to school’ vibe. Probably because in a sense it has quite a smart casual look going on. With the mini skirt and top, a blazer would certainly add to that vibe and create a perfect first day outfit.

I hope you have a lovely day and thank you for reading!
