Outfit: Floral Midi Skirt with Orange Heels

Skirts are not something I have many of, mainly because I love dresses and find them so easy to style. A pair of shoes and a few well-chosen accessories and I’m good to go. So when I was invited to choose an item to take part in a blogger style challenge hosted by Aspire Style, I decided upon this stunning floral midi skirt by Jolie Moi.

It’s a flattering A-line shape with front pockets and an exposed zip at the back. The pattern, which reminds me of a Monet, has a lot of different colours in, enabling easy co-ordination. A simple black top along with shoes in orange, the colour of the season and a bright yellow statement necklace make the citrussy colours pop, but I’m envisaging it with a blush pink top and nude shoes later in the season.

I have a lot of shoes and these are by Mulberry, one of my few designer pairs. The devil is in the detail and I love the iconic Postman’s Lock fastening as well as the quilted leather. Despite the height of the heel, they are incredibly comfortable and the bright orange is surprisingly versatile, complimenting a lot of different colours. I have worn them with a green and blue geometric patterned shirt dress and with a cobalt blue tunic dress, cobalt and orange being a particular colour-combo of mine.

    Oh I love love love the print on this skirt. It's so unique — almost like an oil painting sort of print but much fresher! So perfect for spring.

    Xoxo,

      Thank you so much Lisa. It is a very elegant floral and easy to wear with it being on a skirt rather than all over on a dress. The print is even more beautiful in real life xxx

    This skirt is stunning and I love the whole look! I don't really do skirts, but I really need to get a couple to style; they are really versatile in the way that you can create numerous looks with them. xxx

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.

I mentioned on my blog that I was stalking the matching trousers to this fabulous @me_andem jacket. My tenacity paid off and they came back into stock in my size so I duly snapped them up. And..they’re fab. I can’t wait to wear them both as a suit and as separates.

I “rediscovered” this @boden_clothing citrus-yellow necklace a few weeks ago when I was sorting through my boxes of costume jewellery. It reminds me of my early blogging days when a Breton top with a statement necklace were my school-run staples. Hard to believe that was a decade ago. 
Anyway, I’m glad I found it because I still love it 🍋.
