when you sit beside me, i can't see much further

- posting for southsea fashion week

Well, this metallic pleated fabric seems to be everywhere at the moment, and I couldn't resist this skirt when I saw it in Topshop in December! I knew that it would be a versatile piece, and I'm glad I bought it.


Cardigan - Vintage
Dress (as top) - No Brand
Skirt & Necklace - Topshop
Rucksack - ASOS
Shoes - Underground

Today I decided to pair it with Velvet. It's actually a Velvet dress I'm wearing, (you can see it peeking out of the bottom of my skirt, school boy error on my part!) but I think it works well as a top too. It also kept me that little bit warmer! I love the mix of textures between the knitted cardigan, velvet dress and metallic skirt.

Of course the outfit wasn't complete without my creepers and rucksack, which I am completely addicted to at the moment! I know some people aren't keen on creepers, but I am smitten with them - sold!





Also, check out this video for La Sera - Please Be My Third Eye. Totally cute. Enjoy!



P.s sorry about the red nose. It was FREEZING!

  6. This skirt is indeed amazing, I'm glad you bought it too ;) It looks pretty good with the velvet dress-top! And yep, creepers ARE weird, this is a fact. But all these outfits you've made with them, have made them look at least cute to me hahah :P You're gorgeous though no matter what you're wearing :) You could even make a plastic bag look stylish!

  22. Absolutely beautiful. I love the skirt almost as much as I love the creepers, which is really saying something! Very cute song & video, I love the singers hair. Oh that red nose thing, yeah, that happens to me all the time! So annoying!
