Spoke too soon yesterday, the weather's gotten colder again and the tights are back out! Really wished I'd worn a jacket today too, just seemed to get colder through the day. As you can see it was very windy too, hair and skirt getting the blast from the wind! Thought I would wear the burgundy peplum skirt to break up the black a little. Still feel the outfit is missing something looking at the photos though - maybe a belt?

Surprisingly, this is the first time I've worn this top on the blog. It used to be worn frequently, but now I find myself picking other tops instead. Will be so interesting after a year of blogging to see what items I've never worn. When I was packing away some of my winter items this weekend I noticed quite a few that never made it out of the storage box this year! No wonder my wardrobes are overflowing ;)

The skirt was last worn here, shoes here and bag here. This is the first time I've worn this top on the blog.

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 :)
