Zara Lace Maxi Skirt, M&S Black Vest top,HM Blue Denim Jacket and Wallis Tan Chelsea Boots
Tie-Dye Accordion Pleated Skirt
A couple of weeks ago I welcomed to my wardrobe family this stunning Tie-Dye Accordion Pleated Skirt from Zara. This Mermaid wash Lace Skirt caught my eye while I was walking past Zara in Liverpool and it just spoke to me. I’m always a sucker for a good maxi skirt but the Autumnal colours and Lace combined, I thought it would be a great transitional piece.

The Dilemma
So here was my dilemma, its a glorious afternoon, the weather says it will rain for the next 4 days. I have 20 mins to take these photos as I have a hair appointment after, so my hair is tied up. I also couldn’t find my Charcoal V- top that I had bought to go with the skirt, which is more flattering for the fuller bust kinda of girl. Drat!! So I thought I would plough on regardless. I think the photos turned out o.k but not styled as I would of like, hey-ho cant have everything.

You could style it now with sandals or a pair Birkenstock’s for a relaxed day look. Add a pair of mules for nighttime or like I styled mine with Tan Chelsea boots from Wallis to show how they are perfect for Autumn and boy am I ready for it!!.

Don’t you just love it when you pull out one of your favourite dresses and a light bulb goes off in your head, ‘why not wear it like this’. With a flash you have got yourself a whole new look without even spending any pennies. This is what happened to me the other day. I was planning what to wear the night before ( I have to otherwise I would look like a bag of washing as I am everyone else personal stylist,hairdresser,maid,cook,cleaner,and the list goes on, that I don’t have time to think about me) and it hit me to team this together.

I bought this dress from Miss Guided last year and just wore as the purpose intended, as a dress. I love when an old fave can be re-used and look and feel completely different. I teamed with all my favourites blazer,loafers, comfort dressing with a little bit of oomph that my Miss Guided stripe shirt dress gives me.

With Spring now banging at the door the shade Pink and a SKIRT has begun to creep back into my Wardrobe. The shade Pink was always a colour I feared most when growing up. I was always fighting the cause of not being a girly girl, and was more into climbing trees and making ropes swings, so PINK to me, was just not doing it for me. Then fast forward to my wedding. Here I was going to make one of the most important decisions of my life, No, not saying YES that was a given (he is a Hairdresser, what is there not to love) but what will be my colour theme for the up and coming nuptials. There it was winking at me and not to be the one to follow the crowd I blurted out “its going to be PINK.” My florist just starred, and said “but Pink hasn’t been done for years” I knew then I had made the right choice.
Back to the present and last summer I purchased this little Gem from George @Asda. When Autumn arrived I stored it away as lace always comes around every Spring/Summer, I knew it was a keeper. So here we are and low and behold Pink is back, and so is Lace. With this in mind I thought I would put together 3 ways of wearing this great skirt.

Zara Longline Blazer, khaki Green Jumper, black jeans and Embossed Nude slippers Zara
Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Finally, we have had a run of sunnier days and dare I say the temperature even went into double figures. It was time to update my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. Although, it is still not warm enough to be putting jumpers away yet. It would be the perfect time to go on the hunt for those pieces to take you through the transitional period.
Zara long grey blazer Topshop green jumper Levis Zara Embossed Nude Slippers
My first piece I was looking for was a light weight Jacket. I picked this long blazer up from the core collection in Zara. Its such a flattering style, with it being a longer shape. It is also lightweight and so versatile. I have been able to team this Jacket with lots of different outfits. It works well for work wear, teamed with cigarette pants or a pair culottes, pencil skirt, a Jumpsuit, or casual it up with Jeans, Joggers and my personal favourite leatherette leggings. It is also such a gorgeous light grey colour, so it really can work with any other colours.
My next item I chose to update my spring capsule wardrobe with are these Embossed Nude slippers from Zara. I did quite well in Zara this shopping trip. I was in the market for something loafer come slipper type, flat and comfort was key. It was by fluke I saw these kind of shoved under one of the tables in Zara. They fit like a glove, sooo comfy and as they are nude they are a welcomed addition to my wardrobe.

There seems to be a running theme, with comfort being at the forefront. I wanted to update my spring capsule wardrobe with a white pair of trainers. These are perfect Adidas Stan Smiths Snakeskin to throw on with any outfit and I mean any. You cannot go wrong with a pair of trainers. I knew I would have to step back into my teenage years and repurchase another pair of Stan Smiths. Back in the 90’s when Brit pop was at the fore, think The Spice Girls, Oasis and Blur sporting their Adidas Gazelles as these were the trainer of the moment. Oh the memories!! I digress lets get back to the topic. These trainers have an in built cushion which makes them super comfy on the first wear. The Snakeskin print just gives the trainer that extra edge. These are just perfect for Spring/Summer.

My last piece was a little impulsive, but when you see these you need to snap it up. I wanted a dress like this last summer but alas could not find one, although i was lusting after the Novem & Knight version but it kept being sold out. So when I clapped my eyes on this in H&M I could not pass it by. For a fraction of the price of others I had seen, I snapped this up for just £20!. It is the kind of dress that you can team with anything!. Dress it up with some nude heels and a Blazer for dinner or dress it down with a slouchy cardigan and some trainers and your good to go.

My January Sales Picks Fur Gilet, Navy Polar neck, Blue Fedora and Rucksack
January Sales Picks
I have finally got round to writing about My January Sales Picks. If you play your cards right and do your homework before you go shopping in the sales, you are guaranteed to get in and get out in one piece! I have been formulating a capsule wardrobe for a while, so I have a list of items of clothes that I would like to add and these two were way up the top of my list.
Fur Gilet and Black Leather Rucksack
Faux Fur
My first January Sales Picks is this gorgeous Faux Fur Gilet from George @ Asda (similar). It was in the sale and when I tried it on it felt RIGHT. I was looking for a Gilet to wear for those occasions when a big old thick coat would just hinder you. For example clothes shopping, I don’t know whether it is an unspoken rule that retailers have (it certainly wasn’t back in my day ) to have the changing rooms at a tropical mid 90deg! I regularly get hot and irritable when this happens and I think it just ruins the experience, especially if it’s valuable baby free time. So the Gilet is perfect for this as you can pop it on and still have the warmth but it’s light enough, and with it being sleeveless they act like air vents allowing air to flow freely. Great little piece that will take you through to Spring.
Fur Gilet and Black Leather Rucksack
The Rucksack
I teamed this outfit with a Navy Fedora from H&M (similar) , black skinny jeans from Primark, Bardot Boots from Topshop and a navy polar neck from Zara. Oh yeah and The Rucksack. This is my second January Sale Pick. This is such a different direction for me but it makes you feel alive if you try something that scares you each day. O.k maybe that saying wasn’t applying to bags, but to get the idea. This bag made me feel like I was a teenager again. When I bought the ‘baby home’ my husband and I had a full blown discussion on how we would have held the bag back in the day. One strap over one shoulder, holding by the top handle and my favourite towards the end of my time at High School, both straps on both shoulders! This bag made so much sense to me now as I had been using a more constructed bag of late, but couldn’t fit hardly anything in it. I have also got rid of the baby’s bag a few months ago and replaced it with a Peppa Pig, which the bubs loves, but I am not down with carrying a dressed pig about!. So I thought a Rucksack would give me enough space to fit my stuff and his juice cup nappy and wipes. This Rucksack is from Marks and Spencer their Autograph range which comes out with a few simple, well made staple pieces, and this is one of them. Real leather and has gold hardware, simple but effective. Sadly they have sold out but I have put a similar one here.
Marl Joggers, Black Top, Pointed Court Shoes, Leather Jacket and Black Leather Rucksack
The Fleck Marl Joggers
My final January Sales Picks is these ‘smart’ Joggers. I have been looking for these for about 9 months now, when I found this pair which took me by surprise where I found them. They are from Marks and Spencer Lounge wear! Yes they are Pyjamas!! They are a Fleck Grey Marl with a black waist band and black ankle cuffs. They are so comfy, obviously! but throw a pair of heels and a suit jacket and you are good for work. Put them with hi tops and a leather jacket as (seen above) or even a pair of shoe boots would work well too. I love these because they are so versatile. These are also out of stock but I found a great alternative here.
