Leather And Stripes

O U T F I T

Top: Vero Moda, Jacket: Miss Selfridge, Skirt: Topshop, Clutch: Topshop, Shoes: Zara, Necklace: Topshop. 

Although it's always kind of sad when the festive period comes to an end, I have to say, I am grateful for it to be over. Working in retail robs you of any time to sit back and be merry over Christmas. I have never been so busy! I can finally get back to normality and above all regular blog updates!

I am obsessed with this leather envelope clutch. I have been looking for one this texture and shape for a long time so when I saw it on the Topshop website I had to add it to my Christmas list straight away. It goes with everything and is so versatile I love adding a clutch like this to any daytime outfit to mix it up a little.

I have also been on the lookout for a midi skirt for a while so when I stumbled upon this one it too was quick on my list. Although I must admit I was between this one and the jersey version and I'm not sure I made the right choice. Only because this one seems to stretch quite a bit and I would prefer it to be more fitted. Oh well, can't win 'em all. You can learn from my mistakes and get the jersey skirt or if you like you can still get the other one here. My necklace is also from Topshop and was a great find in the sales.

I got this top while I was in Liverpool a while ago and it is definitely a fave of mine. I have yet to find one that is as good of a fit as this one. A simple stripped top like this is an essential. I have no idea why anybody wouldn't have one. They go with everything, are flattering and just an all round good decision.

This leather jacket is also an oldie but a goodie, I have it about a year and a half and it is still my all time favourite leather jacket, and I have a lot. It's from Miss Selfridge which I don't hear about too often but you can always find really nice pieces online.
