Clothes: Monochrome Check Skirt

Skirt - Topshop

Jacket - Dorothy Perkins

Top - Primark

Necklace - Orelia

I actually found some light so was able to take some outfit photos, as you can see by my awkward face I'm still not massively comfortable with taking outfit photos. I haven't found my 'photo face' yet. 

So both the necklace and skirt were presents for my birthday from my lovely work mates - I'd been eyeing up this skirt for ages after seeing it on so many blogs. It is just a great shift shape with cute side pockets and in a perfect length. I can't wait for it to get a little warmer and I can wear it without tights and with loafers. 

I thought the monochrome pattern would look nice with a pale pink. I wear so much black and white I really have to put effort into adding some colour. Hopefully when Spring kicks in I will stock up on some pastels so I can refresh my look a little. Black is just so easy (...and slimming)!

I have such a nice week ahead of me. I'm at work for just two days then I am off for my boyfriend's graduation in Brighton and then it is his birthday the next day so I've planned a day of steak and Stranger's on a Train in London. Can't wait!
