Styling a Folk Print Skirt

-

Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up, I've been making an effort to wear some of my favourite skirts that have been hidden away for a few months. I bought this gorgeous skirt at a quirky and cool shop in Osaka, Japan. The shop had a mix of new and pre-loved clothing and accessories.  This skirt was a one-of with no tags, so I'm assuming it was pre-loved!  It is such a beautiful skirt in great condition and is fully lined.  I love the style and colours of this skirt and it's folk print.  It's also very comfortable to wear and doesn't crease after wearing it all day, which is another bonus!

 In this outfit I decided to go with a black top as a base and added a red cardi to complete the look.  I knew that my recently purchased bag with the embroidered strap would complement the boho/folksy print of the skirt.  I love this bag!  It was a great buy, which is even better!

 The outfit: 
Top: Sussan
Cardi: Millers
Skirt: bought in Japan (thrifted)
Shoes: Rivers

Bangle: present from Mum
Ring: Lovisa
Bag: Rockmans

    This skirt is a very versatile addition to your wardrobe. The red cardi goes really well with the first outfit and I also love the strap on the bag. I hope Amber is enjoying her vacation. Flossie xx

    Love this unique skirt and the strap of your bag is perfect with it! The red is a nice pop of color.

    I adore that folk print skirt and I love the way you styled it. It's your best version yet. I think it looks much better on you styled with a shorter top like you did here, as it really elongates your figure and makes you look slimmer. Love the necklace too! But: no Amber? xxx

    What a beautiful skirt! This is your best styling so far - the cropped/tucked in black shirt helps put the waist higher and makes your legs look longer. The red cardi is perfect! Awesome.

    But yes, I echo Ann's question? where is Amber?

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asia) by myself.  I always tried ne

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new purchase.  I had been on the lo
