I don't know why my appreciation of the humble skirt has taken until now to really blossom, but I think maybe I overlooked them in favour of dresses. For the last couple of years I've had a thing about Hobbs dresses, the vintage and classy kind worn below my knee with wedges or high heels, but I'm having a phase where I prefer skirts worn with flats and a simple t shirt-not least because I got sick of high heels ravaging my feet!
This summer I have indulged in how easy skirts are to wear, and how little thought you need to put in look great. I've just found it too easy to roll out of bed and shove on one of my favourite skirts, firstly because I love them and they suit my figure, giving my little frame some definition, but mostly because the girls I see who I have instant style crushes on do tend to keep things really simple.
I have worn this blue Topshop one non-stop since picking it up second
hand a few weeks ago, and it's quickly become a favourite. I wear it
with either a black or white T shirt tucked in but I think the blue and
white look particularly summery. I didn't have any accessories with me
when these photos were taken but I don't think this look needs anything
else really. I also love my flowery New Look skirt (last pic) with a
brown leather belt and black T shirt. It's just a bit sad that the
glorious British summer seems to be fading-I have one last week of heat
to make the most of my skirts, when I go to France next week and then I
think I will return to that in-betweeny almost autumn weather and the
frustrating dilemma- "What can I wear today that isn't too warm in the
office but keeps the chill off outside". And I will be reminiscing about
how easy it was to just pull a skirt on!
