There's a bit of an August challenge floating around in blogland. Hazel, Char and Sophie have inspired me to join in with Only Once August. Simple idea - you find the things from your wardrobe which are rarely or never worn and give them a try. Now I am slightly handicapped by the fact that there isn't that much in my wardrobe that I haven't worn yet but I thought I'd have a bosh at doing it for a week. That also means daily outfit posts. Gulp. Oh well, here goes!
I found the skirt in a charity shop months ago and for whatever reason it hasn't been worn until now. It's pretty but pleated skirts with big waistbandy bits have a nasty habit of being uber-unflattering over my stomach. It doesn't look too awful here, although admittedly I could have picked a different top and shoes to make it look better. I am not the best at getting ready in the morning though, so this was as good as it got today. Despite that, I think I'll keep it.
Cardi - New Look
Skirt - White Stuff, via charity shop
Flats - H&M sale
That cardigan is so pretty. White Stuff is my favourite shop - good find to get one of their skirts in a charity shop as they hold their value well on eBay.

ReplyDeleteAlex, I love that skirt. I will am thinking about doing the Only Once August but like yourself I don't think I have much in my wardrobe to start with. So I am setting myself a Pinterest/Magazine challenge instead xx But I really love that skirt.
