Skirting around.

So, the clocks have gone forward, and I’ve got the start of my first cold in months… I guess that means it’s Spring.

This is good for 2 reasons:

1) It’s almost summer! Yay! Goodbye constant crankiness caused by SAD! Farewell to always having to carry ear muffs, scarf and gloves whenever I leave the house!

2) I get to start thinking about a spring/summer wardrobe.

I say ‘thinking’ about it as opposed to buying, as I rarely get round to buying anything that I really want and have to make do with purchases made out impulse or desperation that I end up hating as soon as I yank the tag off. Damn the fact that I get bored, angry and impatient when trying to shop.

Here’s a wee peep at the current (but constantly changing)wish list:

 Not just the blonde hair… but the skirt too. Yup, the knee-length, denim, pleated skirt. (Really?) Yes really. I’ve not owned a denim skirt in years, never mind a pleated one, but I’m quite taken with this.

House of Holland £295

 This little floral number from Topshop might look like all the other floral minis in my wardrobe, but it’s not. It’s got a nude tone waist band.  It’s all about the little details.

Topshop £28

 This skirt reminds me of my teacher in Primary 2. What was her name? Mrs Gregg or something? Anyway. She was 2 decades ahead in the style stakes. I shoulda kept a closer eye on her… I might have managed to skip the perm phase.

Zara £39.99

Hot pink, with a cinched waist band AND pockets. I’m buying this. Fact.

Zara £39.99

 With it’s knee-length hem and bias cut shape,  this skirt is proof that being ladylike doesn’t mean being dull… can someone please tell Kate Middleton quickly, before I pass out at the sight of her!

Maria Luisa @ Asos £170
