what I wore: gingham + vintage


lemon sweater: cow vintage
gingham skirt: primark
bag: vintage
vans: c/o allsole

I'm having a fully fledged love affair with midi skirts ..I've always loved them but now they're back in fashion there's even more of them to choose from.. hurrah! this little beauty was a steal from primark.. second to my love of midi's is my love of gingham (I'm having primary school flashbacks) so this was a total no brainer purchase. 

the only downfall? wearing it on a sunny but windy afternoon.. nobody needs to see my cartoon print knickers making an appearance... well, ever.

everything else in this outfit is quite old, I've been having a wardrobe spring clean so rediscovered this vintage top and thrifted bag (I love finding forgotten clothes tucked away!) the only new addition is these pastel vans from allsole which have finally seen the light of day now the weather has perked up.. hallelujah!

back soon!

  25. Ohh this is a fab outfit! I've got this skirt but never thought to team it with lemon yellow.
    It goes really well! I'm feeling inspired - maybe I'll wear it to work tomorrow!!
    Cartoon print knickers should not be kept under wraps. SHOW THEM TO THE WORLD! Haha

    Hope you're ok miss!! xxx
