Floaty Skirt Waiting For Spring

The clocks go forward at the weekend, yep we lose an hours sleep, which at the moment I could so use, but it gives me hope that the weather is going to finally cheer up and be spring-like, rather than this constant wintery weather we seem to be having here in Blighty. I know we don’t get heatwaves that often, but seeing the sun shining would be nice, we just seem to be getting this overcast, windy weather that isn’t pretty or pleasant to be outside. 

I wanted to wear this look, without the tights, with cute strappy heels, and with a thin top, sadly it wasn’t to be so I made my floaty Reiss midi skirt winter ready with some new trusty ankle boots, I know I don’t need any more but these were a sale steal from Faith, who I didn’t realise still existed, and I really don’t think you can have too many ankle boots, especially in black.

Of course, my willingness to believe that spring could happen at any second means I stupidly feel it is acceptable to go outside without a winter coat, this oversized black cardigan from Primark might look like I’m wearing a mini duvet but it isn’t quite as warm. But for running errands around London and attending press days, it certainly works out fine, for the most part. 

But I do love how pairing this floaty, spring-like skirt works with a chunky cropped jumper and an oversized cardigan, especially when added with wavy hair, thank you Hershesons, and sleek ankle boots. Also did you notice that I have brought the amazing Lulu Guinness Brown Eye wristlet out to play, I love this beauty, and I have started adding it on to my tote handbags as an oversized bag charm, kind of like what was seen at Anya Hindmarch, which I am kind of loving. 

So how has your wardrobe been coping with this never-ending winter weather?
