Mustard tights and Docs

If you are

a) a resident of UK, or any other country with a similar climate, and
b) a frequent wearer of dresses and skirts,

you will be familiar with the fact that tights are indispensable all year round.

Tips for wearing brightly-coloured tights:

• Ground the outfit's colour palette with a dark base colour, like black, navy or dark grey.
• Higher boots cover up more of your legs, which can help make your tights seem less alarming.
• Tie in the tights' colour with just touches of matching colour, or else it'll look too heavy-handedly matchy-matchy.

Things that haven't been on the blog before:

• Scarves - they were in my mum's wardrobe and are probably as old as me. 
• Leather skirt - I bought this just after retiring from the blog, and just before uni. It was about £16 which is absolutely ridiculous because it's real leather.
• Choker - £1 in a sale today.
• Triforce necklace - a birthday present to myself. I wear it all the time at uni because it is awesome, and also goes with my watch.
• Satchel - a Christmas present from mum. I try not to think about how much it was; I wouldn't have let her buy it if I were present at the time.
