Nice casual outfit for Tuesday to work from home. I started early and worked late so that I could have an hour long lunch with my mum and sister. Was nice to get out of the house for a while, and Cooper enjoyed seeing them as much as I did :) Although it was a little windy as you can see in the picture, it was still warm enough in the sun to go without a jacket. Thanks to my sister for taking these pics and snapping a great one of Cooper, looks like he is laughing!

After the warm weather we have been having, being back to single digits was a bit of a shock. Even found myself wishing I'd worn a scarf too this morning. I thought the leather jacket over the chunky knit felt a little bulky, but it was too cold to consider going jacket-less today. Just want to be warm and comfortable :)
Have been wary in the past about wearing this pencil skirt with black, and tried to avoid it as much as possible. But when it went so well with my opaque tights last time I wore it, I was happy to pair the colours together again. It looks better than I thought it would. What do you think?


Last worn: printed leather jacket, black knit, Asos lace pencil skirt, patent flats, Marco Tagliaferri Birk bag.

Nice simple outfit for a Sunday. This maxi dress was lovely as there was a slight breeze and it was nice walking around in it, despite the dark colour. Even got the thongs (flip flops) out! Relaxing day, finishing with Church Online in the evening. Apologies for Cooper's fluffy butt in the photo, haha. He just didn't want to face the camera.

A little bit of layering today! Wasn't sure if the striped texture of the dress would pair nicely with the stripes on my tee, but I think it worked quite well. Felt quite cosy and comfortable in this all day, I really like this dress layered. Picked out this scarf to wear as originally I was going to wear a purple top underneath, but kept it for another pattern to add to the mix even though I wasn't wearing any purple.
