My Wardrobe: The Skirt, The trousers and The Maxi Dress

This month I've been obsessing over three items of clothing in my wardrobe. The first is this navy blue pleated skirt that I found in a charity shop about a year ago. It went into my wardrobe and I hadn't worn it at all until last week when I rediscovered it. It looks great with a cropped top or with a tucked in shirt for a more Victorian look. Here I'm wearing it with a pastel mint green belt (Charity shop), white lace socks (Primark), brown brogues (Vintage store) and a pastel chunky necklace (Forever 21).


 The second item is this pair of hot pink tailored trousers from H&M. These are perfect for day and night. With this navy vest top (Primark), bike chain necklace (Oasis) and black studded heels (New Look, also referenced in my last wardrobe post!) it's perfect for day time and then when the evening comes I can change the vest for a sequinned black top, let my hair down and I'm ready to party!


The last piece is this floral maxi dress. I've had this dress for a few years now and I grow to love it even more every summer. There's something very Jane Austin about the tiny blue and orange floral print and the aged cream colour of the dress. Here I'm wearing it with a bone necklace that my uncle bought me in Africa and a pair of antique rose sling-backs.

Current Inspirations: Chloe Moretz

Moretz in Paris during Fashion Week S/S 2013


Chloe Grace Moretz is undoubtedly a great actress, at 16 she already has 11 awards under her belt. But she also has amazing style! She's frequently invited to fashion shows and events and has been spotted on the front row on numerous occasions. Quite dark, and often with masculine tailoring her wardrobe is amazing. She often wears dark colours and trousers and has that effortlessly cool look down to a tee. The key item in Moretz's style is black skinny jeans which she pairs with a jumper or a shirt for a casual look or a t-shirt and jacket for something a bit more classy. Bags play a big part of Moretz's look as well as sunglasses or a scarf.
