Pattern Mixing: Blue Lace Pencil Skirt, Printed Top, Pink Accessories, Balenciaga Magenta Work

Here's what I wore to work today:
Sunnies: Pink leopard print sunglasses from Paddy's Markets in Sydney
Necklacegift from DH
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet in pink
TopFrench Connection cream dot print top
BeltAsos Metal Keeper Super Skinny Belt in pink
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
BagBalenciaga RH work in 2005 Magenta

Close up of accessories and bag:

Was a nice warm day today - rather sad to spend the day in the office though and view the sunshine through the window! Was good to be able to wear a skirt without my winter opaques needed for warmth though.

It's nice to see how my work wardrobe has changed over time - gone from preferring pants to loving dresses and skirts, even in winter. This beautiful blue lace pencil skirt is one of my favourites. Although I don't seem to wear it much in winter, it got a work out at the start of the year with the warmer temperatures. I expect it to pop up more in future ;) Tried a little bit of pattern mixing today by wearing it with a printed top, what do you think?

If you're hunting for anything in particular at the moment, Asos have an extra 15% off their sale with the code "MIDSEASON15". Enjoy :)


The sunnies were last worn here, top here, belt here, skirt here, shoes here and bag here.
