B L O C K

Maxi skirt by Luka. Flats from Sportsgirl and blouse is vintage.

I think you've all probably realized by now that I am definitely not afraid of colour, in fact I feel slightly naked if I don't have a bright pop of colour somewhere in my outfit. So I was super, duper happy when I found this skirt by Luka which pretty much embodies the trend of colour blocking all in one slick little package. Surprisingly though the colour isn't the main thing I love about this skirt, it's the shape! I have so many drapey, flowy maxi skirts, so it's very nice to have something that's a little bit more fitted. I love the way it nips in at the waist and then drops down in more of a tube shape than a regular maxi skirt. It makes me feel incredibly tall and graceful, like a swan but with a shorter neck.

Can't believe the amazing weather we've been having, my arms have seen sunlight for the first time in months! Hope it stays like this for a while :)

    I am loving the outfit! An absolutely beautiful combination!!!!! I feel naked without color as well. I always have to have a pop of something, even if it ends up being lipstick or nail polish!

    Summer and the colour block maxi skirt has kinda passed me by in England, but that's a perfect colour mix!

    Your outfit is cool, I love bright colours too!! Loads of adults just wear black and look at me weird when I say I want orange ankle boots. What's with that? Anyway I like your blog, especially the name.

    what a killer skirt, i love that combination of colours in particular (orange and orchid)

    too bad this weekend has been rainy and dull compared to the awesome summer-like week we've just had! i see that you're in town quite often now - we should arrange a blogger meet sometime ;)
