The Statement Skirt

I knew as soon as spring hit, this skirt would be my new BFF. 

It has so many excellent qualities - but the main thing it screams, for me, is 80's Italian vibes. Maybe due to Versace...I feel it has that kinda aura. Anyway - I adore the design, and as someone that doesn't wear prints that much, it's a bold choice for me. I picked it up in January in the sales over on Matches, (I've linked it here and below - yes, it's still a serious purchase despite the sales) and I'm hoping it will be in my wardrobe 4 eva; as one of those classic, always wearable pieces. Pls note the balance of the way overpriced skirt VS £12 bodysuit. B-A-L-A-N-C-E.

GUCCIFY YOURSELF

GUCCIFY YOURSELF.

I fell in love with this track jacket when I first laid eyes on it (so into 70's sports & lounge items) and after receiving a discount code from Matches, I took the plunge.

Paired with my old Chloe faithful sunnies and high waisted slacks, it makes for a statement - yet chilled - weekending outfit.

That Polka Crop

I'm sure you know: I love simple polka dots; especially in the sun. Mixed this off the shoulder number with some simple black high-waisted trousers, & my new Loewe Puzzle. Pretty much the first high-end bag I can recall buying with silver hardware, but man - I am in love with it. It feels surprisingly practical, whilst retaining such an aesthetically pleasing form.
